Golden Menorah

Hi all,

Sorry it's been a while since I did a post.  Had a bit of a busy week.  I realized today that I need to get busy and post.  Today let's hear a little about the Temple Institute and the work being done to prepare for the building of the third temple.

While in Israel, we were able to see the golden menorah which is part of the utensils that are being crafted for the new temple.  You can read more information about the utensils being prepared at the website of The Temple Institute.   The golden menorah of course is one of the utensils used in the Holy Place in the temple.  Here is a bird's eye view of where the temple will be built. As you can see, there is a little problem with the location.  Something is already there.  That little snafu will have to be cleared up before the temple can be rebuilt.

But first, how about some more shots of the menorah.  The detail is so fascinating, I must share.

This is the menorah.  It's kept in a glass case in the Jewish quarter.  Here are some close up details.

Enjoy these pictures and go to The Temple Institute website and see other items that are being prepared for the new temple.
