The Third Temple
The concept of the Third Temple in Jerusalem has profound spiritual significance. Traditionally, it represents a physical space where divine presence was believed to dwell. This physical temple is nothing more than a metaphor for a much deeper, more universal truth: Mother Earth herself. This is the temple we must learn to worship. Her air, water and soil. This is the temple we must guard and protect at all hours of day and night to ensure we pass on a better world to our children and our children's children.
Are we ready for a Third Temple? Truly ready to care for a Third temple when we can't keep the streets of Jerusalem clean from trash and pollution. I have walked the streets of Jerusalem. I have inspected the parks. I have studied the pollution near and far and around the Earth. So ask yourself: ARE WE READY TO CARRY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RUNNING A SACRED TEMPLE?
Mother Earth is the true Temple—a sacred vessel that we must learn to honor and protect. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil that sustains us are all integral parts of this living Temple. Our sacred duty, as outlined in the Torah, is to care for this planet and all its inhabitants with reverence and responsibility. Until we do that, I do not understand HOW WE CAN be worthy of a third temple. So until you commit to this process, I am not committing to the Third temple.
You must understand that the concept of Geula (redemption) means recognizing this divine mandate. Just as we are commanded to build and maintain a physical temple, we are equally commanded to nurture and safeguard the natural world. This duty extends to every aspect of the environment—air, water, soil, plants, animals, and even the rocks. All are interconnected and deserving of our respect and protection.
By fulfilling this sacred responsibility, we ensure that we leave behind a better world for future generations—our children and their children. The essence of our spiritual mission is to harmonize with and protect this sacred Earth, ensuring that it remains a thriving and vibrant Temple for all living beings
