Welcoming G-d into our neighborhood and making this world a better place – this is the simple yet profound reason Israel has been commanded to build for G-d a Sanctuary on this earth. Israel is a nation whose destiny is to live and act in G-d consciousness, thereby uplifting man and perfecting G-d’s creation.

The Tabernacle and the Rectification of Creation
The Real Purim Story: The International Conspiracy Against the Holy Temple Continues
The Month of Adar is here… again! This week we will be observing Rosh Chodesh, the New Moon of the Second Adar, and that means that Purim is just around the corner. This week’s fast-moving edition of Temple Talk, coinciding with the conclusion of the book of Exodus and the completion of the Tabernacle, focuses on what Purim is really all about… the Holy Temple. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman find fascinating parallels between the geopolitical reality of the days of ancient Shushan, and the conspiratorial machinations of today’s leaders. Whether we’re talking ancient Persia, modern Iran, or Washington, D.C., only the names have changed… the facts remain the same.
