The Third Temple in JERUSALEM

More news about building the third Temple
The Temple Institute, an organization in
Jerusalem which works toward the rebuilding of the Third Temple, began a
revolutionary campaign on Sunday to literally rebuild the Third Temple -
through the power of crowdfunding.
Headlined under the title, "Don't
make history. Make the future. Build the Third Temple," the indiegogo
campaign promises that this generation of children is "ready" to see
the center of Jewish worship rebuilt, once and for all.
Several parallels have already been
drawn, if informally, between Israel's current campaign to eliminate Hamas
terror - and the international community's slow, but climbing, understanding of
Israel's right to self-defense - and events described in the Torah regarding
the completion of the Third Temple.
While acknowledgement of this has been
somewhat informal - including a widely popular Facebook event advertising
"the Last Tisha B'av," a hint to the traditional teaching that the
day will become a day of celebration instead of mourning - at least one leading
Rabbi has also stated that this campaign is the "God's war" and that
"Israel will win."
However, the Temple Institute's campaign
aims to bring these speculations to their practical fruition.
"Now is time for one of its most
ambitious projects yet: completing architectural plans for the actual
construction, fusing ancient texts and modern technology," the campaign's
description states. "While strictly adhering to the religious requirements
set forth in Biblical texts, the Third Temple will also be equipped with every
modern amenity: full computerization, underground parking, temperature control,
elevators, docks for public transportation, wheelchair access, and much
more."
"The Temple Institute has engaged an
architect to map out as practically as possible the modern Third Temple's
construction," it continues. "Your contribution will go towards
completing this ambitious project and the continued research and development
which will make the Third Temple a reality."
"It is not enough to wait and pray
for the Third Temple," it concludes. "It is a Biblical obligation to
build it."
The Temple Institute's campaign will run
for sixty days, ending on September 25 - during the Jewish New Year, or Rosh
Hashana.
The campaign aims to raise $100,000
toward a building fund for the Third Temple, as part of its wider campaigns to
train kohen-priests for Temple duties and rebuild the instruments in the
priestly services.
