Gershon Salomon, the late Temple Mount activist, passed away at the age of 88 on the 11/23/22. After the six day war , He was the first to establish the Temple Mount and Eretz Yisrael loyalist movement and has been its leader ever since, solely for the purpose of restoring the Temple Mount to the center of Jewish religious, national and cultural life and establishing the Third Temple on the Temple Mount . 
He met with great rabbis:
 - Rabbi Ovadia Yossef:” Continue your legacy, you are doing a holy thing”
- Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook: "Go on, rise and succeed”
-Another rabbi: "Your perseverence for the Temple Mount and the temple building is God's will. Although today the religious circles are not coming with you, as soon as you win all the rabbis will come after you in a long line.”.

The month of Kislev ( December) is the month that manifests itself in the holiday of Chanuka or the Festival of Lights. and is characterized by the fact that the days slowly start to get longer, and there is an increase of light in the world.

What is the nature of light? Light is the foundation of the world.

"I produce light and create darkness, make peace and create evil, I, the Lord, do all these".(Isaie)

In order to understand, it must be explained that production and achievement, as opposed to creation, means that a fundamental change is made in the existing thing and thus a new thing is created. Creation is a matter of "something" out of " nothing". For example, one cannot say that a carpenter "creates" a table. A carpenter "produces" or "makes" a table from raw materials: the wood.

From this we can understand the verse - "He produces light and creates darkness"

the darkness needs to be created, because everything is light, everything is based on light, and darkness does not exist in reality and in order for there to be darkness it must be created. But light - there is no reason to create, it exists at the base of the world, all that is needed is to "produce" it, "producing light". The light is always there, all that is needed is to adapt it to the environment. 

The same in the following verse "Makes peace and creates evil" - peace does not need to be created, it always exists. All that is needed is to "make" peace, to produce it out of the existing peace in the world. Evil, on the other hand, must be created - because if it is not created from nothing, it simply would not exist.

The world is fundamentaly light and peace.

In the month of Kislev, the entire creation transcends nature. In this month there is the power to overcome,with complete confidence in the Creator of the world, to turn everything around, and to conquer even the impossible.
(Rabbi David Iffergan)

"GOD created the world in such a way that each person has his own unique appearance, so that it is impossible for two creatures in the world to be completely identical, but at the most there will be a general similarity between them…… This role is essential for the purpose of fulfilling the purpose of creation"

(Rebbe of Lubavitch, Holy Talks)
