THE TEMPLE NOW? Parshat Tetzaveh

 THE TEMPLE NOW? Parshat Tetzaveh

After the Six Day War, Sages and professors came to the 

Rabbi Tsvi Yehudah Kook ZTS"L to ask him this question : 

" if the Temple Mount is now in our hands why shouldn't take

bulldozers at the place of the 2 mosques and begin
to build the Temple? "
The Rabbi answered very sweetly " Your proposition doesn't 

come from the Torah you know but from the Torah which is 

lacking you" In other words, this proposition is a mistake , 

the same way we have commandments to respect for
the Klal, we have an order to accomplish them.First, like 

the Rambam wrote, we need a Kingdom of Israel, with a King 

of Israel, then to destroy Amalek, then building the Temple.

Who is Amalek? We don't know exactly, we will know when the time comes.
The state of Israel looks like the beginning of the Kingdom.
To rebuild the Temple is not the most urgent thing to do.It is the
commandment for the Klal, and not for the Prat ( like tefilin) 
According to the " Sefer Hachinuch" the first condition before 

building the Temple is to have the majority of the People of 

Israel living in Erets
Israel. More Jews must make their Aliyah.

" The second Temple was destroyed because of baseless hatred 

between the Jews. The third Temple will be built by Ahavat chinam". 

Rabbi A.Y. Kook.
