The Land of Israel Network Rejuvenation: The Temple Mount FaithfulEve Harow speaks with longtime Temple Mount activist Yisrael Medad on the different aspects of Chanuka. The Hashmonaim/ Maccabbees rededicated the Temple after the war with the Seleucid Greeks; today we can rededicate ourselves to the values and freedoms for which they fought. For example: The ability to pray on the Temple Mount, the necessity of not allowing Israel in particular and the West at large to be intimidated by Muslims and others who would deny us those basic rights, and more. Chanuka in the land is felt in its natural form. Olive oil it is. To life and light.

The Friends of Israel Today November 22, 2025 | #2547 - Temple Structure & the Gospel, Part 3 of 3In Leviticus, God’s Law provided for unholy human beings—the children of Israel—to live in the midst of their holy God. When we get to the book of Ephesians, something amazing happens. Through Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection, the division via purification laws that prevented Gentiles from worshiping God at the Temple was erased. Now, Jewish people and Gentiles who believe in Jesus are bound together by the indwelling Holy Spirit! We hope our study has made the goodness of the gospel revealed through the Temple all the more vivid and powerful in your life!

From the Bimah: Jewish Lessons for Life Talmud Class: What is Your Voice on Israel Now?How do we think and talk about Israel now as its new government (In Israel, a Hard-Right Agenda Gains Steam. Patrick Kingsley, NY Times, 1/11/23) takes power? Here are five options. Do not think and talk about Israel. It is too upsetting. It is too much. We have our hands full. There are synagogues and rabbis who do not talk about Israel because it is too divisive. Protest and/or boycott members of the governing coalition whose words and policies are anti-democratic and anti-pluralistic. More than 330 American rabbis signed a letter doing just that.

From the Bimah: Jewish Lessons for Life Talmud Class: What Does Stephen Sondheim Mentoring a Young Singer Teach Us about Our Relationship With Israel?For my money, the best, simplest, shortest expression of the complexity of Israel remains the opening chapter of Ari Shavit’s classic My Promised Land. Shavit’s grandfather was among the first Zionists who settled Eretz Yisrael. Shavit himself served in the Israeli army as a paratrooper. The book opens: “For as long as I can remember, I remember fear. Existential fear.” Two pages later: “For as long as I can remember, I remember occupation. Only a week after I asked my father whether the Arab nations were going to conquer Israel, Israel conquered the Arab-populated regions of the West Bank a...

Commentaries from the Edge What is a Jew - with Rabbi Michelle Missaghieh, her 26th year at Temple Israel of HollywoodThis is the final episode of a three-part series asking three distinguished Rabbis of Los Angeles, California, to answer the same question - What is a Jew? According to Rabbi Missaghieh, showing three very different opinions on the same subject, each with valid points, is the essence of answering the question of what it means to be a Jew. The question is more important than the answer. The Jew, in this Rabbi’s answer, is someone living with ambiguity. The search itself for answers is the cornerstone of the identity. Rabbi Missaghieh is an innovative clergy person, enriching her congregation at...

History and the Bible The Collonades to Herod's TempleJosephus was given the job of recording history by the Romans because he was so accurate and detailed. Yet the Jews, and most Christians, choose to ignore his information about Herod's Temple. Josephus records that two arms or collonades extended from the Roman Antonia Fortress to the Temple. The model of Jerusalem and the Temple totally ignores this important feature and misleads people about the layout of Jerusalem and the Temple prior to the Roman destruction in 70 A.D.
