Today's Israel Inspiration

On the Jewish calendar, today marks the bitter fast day known as Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, the day when the Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed. One may ask, "How does the Temple - or its absence - really affect me?" One way to emotionally connect with the impact of the loss of the Temple is to keep in mind that the Temple was God's house where we were able to relate to His presence up close. With its loss, that incredible feeling of being connected to God is not readily available to us. Rabbi Yehuda Glick is raising world-wide attention on the significance of the Temple Mount for all nations. We pray that Rabbi Glick and the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation bring us closer to the day of God's House returning to His holy city of Jerusalem.
