This newsletter is dedicated to the souls of the fallen and the murdered Israelis, along with the safe return of all the Israeli citizens held in captivity.

How do you build a place of holiness and eternal silence?

In the following video, we will discover the secret behind the construction of the Temple – with enormous stones weighing up to 600 tons per stone, and with a revolutionary decision: to do all the work in advance, in a remote location, and bring the stones when they are already ready – in order to preserve the Holy Mount as a place of peace.

Join us in the journey to one of the largest construction mysteries in history >>

Transition from history to inner life

Passover is not just a memory of historic events that occurred to our forefathers. It is a call for inner observations, to draw spiritual lessons and to implement them in G-d’s work in our private lives. Passover opens and closes on festive days - initially the exodus from Egypt and ending with the parting of the Red Sea - two divine miracles that led to the formation of the Nation of Israel.

Parting of the Red Sea - A rare revelation of the Divine Presence
If the miracles of Egypt undermined the laws of nature, the parting of the Red Sea was a divine revelation brought with it a divine revelation of new depth: a moment of absolute helplessness in the face of a stormy sea and a pursuing enemy, in which the nation was required to exercise blind faith. Precisely where all the heat ended, the miracle occurred, and where not only the waters parted – but also hearts and eyes. Every Jew, even the simplest, earned an extraordinary revelation of the Divine Presence.

Start of the count – and the power to transcend
The parting of the Red Sea overlaps with the start of the counting of the Omer - a time that symbolizes the process of man's constant ascension. As Ramchal wrote, the basis of every spiritual ascent is persistence: no sitting, no resting but diligently and determinedly performing G-d’s work.

Degree of agility – not just speed but liveliness
When G-d commanded the people of Israel to leave Egypt, they immediately obeyed, without doubt or delay. Thus was born the degree of haste - an agility that is based not only on discipline, but also on a deep connection to the moment and to action. A commandment performed with speed, at the right time, gains real life and deep meaning. Procrastination weakens value, while agility revives it.

The magnitude of the moment - and the eternity of Israel
The ability to act quickly with determination is not just a technical matter but quality of life, an expression of presence, of vitality and of deep consciousness. When a person acts with awareness of the moment, fully committed, he becomes part of the eternity. This is the degree that allowed the nation of Israel to survive generations of trials and changes - and still maintain its nature.

From personal correction - to repairing the world
What begins as a personal virtue of haste is the path to repairing the entire world. When a person fulfills a commandment with agility and enthusiasm, he is an active partner in completing the purpose of Creation. In a perfect redemption – human nature will be purified, the entire reality will be repaired, and the world will be filled with the glory of G-d.

May we soon, with agility and faith, witness the building of the Third Temple on the Temple Mount in peace – for the redemption of Israel and the ascension of all humanity.
