A vision of the Third Holy Temple of Jerusalem, what will it look like? Can we picture in our mind's eye, how we can invent, remodel, and decorate The Third Holy Temple of Jerusalem? To visit Synagogues around the world, a pathway from Shul to Shul, and take a bit here and a bit there, to rebuild our Third Temple with the finest of ideas, a Temple of sparkling gold, silver, copper, bronze, and brass.
A changing room for the Rabbis, Kohens and Levis, to put on their robes of crimson, purples, blues, and whites, an area for white shoes, a washing machine and dryer to wash all clothes, bleach to get the whitest of the whites in our uniforms, our garb of tunics, skirts for women. A place to hang our prayer shawls and lace for women, tree on which to hang kippot.
A stained glass window to cover an entire wall or two or three. A library with holy books of all denominations, the Third Temple to be Non-denominational, a place for all. An availability of all books, a comfortable place to read, sofas, easy chairs, small reading lamps, desks, computers, you name it, it will be here. Shelves and more shelves of prayer books, and The Torah, The Talmud, The Mishnah, The Zohar, The Mishnah Torah...a beautiful Torah Stand for the Cantor to sing made of the finest of carved beautiful wood, a mic system so the Cantor's voice can resound all over the entire Temple, in every room, in every hallway, high on the choir loft.
Torah Scrolls hand-printed by a Scribe with not one error, a Torah covering made of the finest of imported fabrics and original design, glass beads, precious and semi-precious stones, diamonds, silks, velvets, hand woven tapestries.
A place of a café for us to drink coffee or tea, soda, grape juice, apple juice, holy beverages, tables for four, meeting rooms, a place for the Torah, an Ark, a Mishkan, a room of a Chapel to daven. Pure natural moving water for a mikvah and to wash our hands.
This Third Temple being the greatest of all Temples, a place never created before, the best of the best-est ever made, a place to visit with The Lord, a place to pray, to daven, to find out who needs our help and how we can provide it.
The Third Temple is a realistic vision, we as Jews want it to exist, and we will have it.
