PLANS FOR TEMPLE

 

 

The Israeli Supreme Court has

ruled that Jews are allowed to pray

at the Temple Mount, but the court

also grants the Israeli police power to curtail

any activities that would create "a

disturbance to the public order."

 

Jews who sing the national anthem or

religious songs, and who pray, are regular-

ly detained and escorted away.

 

A frequent visitor to the site is Rabbi Chaim

Richman, a director of the Temple Institute,

whose mission is to prepare for the building

of the Third Temple where the Dome of the

Rock now stands.

 

He says he envisions a new temple,

rising toward the clouds, with underground

parking, Internet connectivity, radiant heating

for the sanctified floors (the priests, in

accordance with Jewish law, will be barefoot),

and a return of burnt offerings and animal

sacrifice.

 

In April, Richman's Temple Institute moved

to a large, renovated space in the Old City's

Jewish Quarters, overlooking the Western

Wall.  The project was funded by Henry

Swieca, a billionaire American investor, and

his wife, Estee.

 

Inside, researchers and artisans have created

silver trumpets, wooden lyres and three-pronged

forks that would turn over burnt offerings.

They sewed a priest's robe with a breastplate

of golden thread and 12 precious stones, as

described in the Bible and representing the

12 tribes of Israel. There is a golden menorah

and an ark for the covenants. And there are

architectural plans. Evidence, Muslim leaders

say, that the Jews have literal designs on the

mount.
