Torah 7:1
לְשׁוֹן רַבֵּנוּ זִכְרוֹנוֹ לִבְרָכָה וְאֵלֶּה הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים אֲשֶׁר תָּשִׂים לִפְנֵיהֶם: (שמות כ״א:א׳)
“V’eileh HaMishpatim (And these are the laws) that you must place before them.” (Exodus 21:1)
אָמְרוּ חֲכָמֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (קידושין לה. ב"ק טו.): הֻשְׁווּ אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ. וְאִיתָא בִּמְכִילְתָּא: יָכוֹל יִהְיוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים לוֹמְדִין וְאֵינָם מְבִינִים – תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: אֲשֶׁר תָּשִׂים לִפְנֵיהֶם, עָרְכֵם לִפְנֵיהֶם כְּשֻׁלְחָן עָרוּךְ:
Our Sages taught: [The words “before them” indicate that in regard to all Torah laws,] woman is equated with man (Kiddushin 35a). The Mekhilta (21:1) comments: It might be that the students study but fail to comprehend. [Scripture] therefore states: “that you must place before them”—spread it out before them as a fully set table.
א דַּע, כִּי עִקַּר הַגָּלוּת אֵינוֹ אֶלָּא בִּשְׁבִיל חֶסְרוֹן אֱמוּנָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שיר השירים ד׳:ח׳): תָּבוֹאִי תָּשׁוּרִי מֵרֹאשׁ אֲמָנָה; וֶאֱמוּנָה הוּא בְּחִינַת תְּפִלָּה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שמות י״ז:י״ב): וַיְהִי יָדָיו אֱמוּנָה, וְתַרְגּוּמוֹ: פְּרִישָׂן בִּצְלוֹ.
Know! the essential reason for exile is nothing other than a lack of ÆMuNaH (faith), as is written (Song of Songs 4:8), “Come, gaze from the peak of AMaNaH.” And emunah is synonymous with prayer, as in (Exodus 17:12), “his hands were emunah,” which Onkelos renders: “[his hands] were spread out in prayer.”
וְזֶה בְּחִינַת נִסִּים לְמַעְלָה מֵהַטֶּבַע, כִּי הַתְּפִלָּה לְמַעְלָה מִטֶּבַע, כִּי הַטֶּבַע מְחַיֵּב כֵּן, וְהַתְּפִלָּה מְשַׁנָּה הַטֶּבַע, וְזֶה דְּבַר נֵס, וְלָזֶה צָרִיךְ אֱמוּנָה, שֶׁיַּאֲמִין שֶׁיֵּשׁ מְחַדֵּשׁ וּבְיָדוֹ לְחַדֵּשׁ דָּבָר כִּרְצוֹנוֹ.
And [prayer] corresponds to miracles, the supernatural. For prayer transcends nature; the natural course dictates a certain thing, but prayer changes nature’s course. This is a miracle. And for this, one needs faith. A person has to believe that there is a M’chadesh (an Originator) with the power to originate as He sees fit.
וְעִקַּר אֱמוּנָה, בְּחִינַת תְּפִלָּה, בְּחִינַת נִסִּים, אֵינוֹ אֶלָּא בְּאֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (תהילים ל״ז:ג׳): שְׁכָן אֶרֶץ וּרְעֵה אֱמוּנָה; וְשָׁם עִקַּר עֲלִיּוֹת הַתְּפִלּוֹת, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (בראשית כ״ח:י״ז): וְזֶה שַׁעַר הַשָּׁמָיִם.
Now, the quintessence of faith, and thus prayer and miracles, is only in the Land of Israel, as is written (Psalms 37:3), “Dwell in the Land and cultivate emunah.” The principal elevation of the prayers is there, as in (Genesis 28:17), “This is the gate of heaven.”
וּבִשְׁבִיל זֶה כְּשֶׁפָּגַם אַבְרָהָם בַּמָּה אֵדַע (שם טו), וּבָזֶה פָּגַם בִּירֻשַּׁת אֶרֶץ, שֶׁהִיא בְּחִינַת אֱמוּנָה, בְּחִינַת תְּפִלָּה, הָיָה גָּלוּת מִצְרַיִם. וְדַוְקָא יַעֲקֹב וּבָנָיו יָרְדוּ מִצְרַיִם, כִּי הֵם בְּחִינַת שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂר נֻסְחָאוֹת הַתְּפִלָּה, וְהוֹרִיד אוֹתָם בַּגָלוּת,
Because of this, when Avraham erred in saying (Genesis 15:8), “How shall I know [that I will inherit it]?”—thus blemishing his inheritance of the Land, which corresponds to faith/prayer—<he brought on> the exile in Egypt. And it was specifically “Yaakov and his [twelve] sons who descended into Egypt” (Joshua 24:4; see Genesis 46), for they correspond to the “twelve versions of prayer” (Zohar III, 170a).
וּמִצְרַיִם הוּא הֶפֶךְ הַנִּסִּים, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שמות י״ד:כ״ז): וּמִצְרַיִם נָסִים לִקְרָאתוֹ – שֶׁאֵין שָׁם מְקוֹם הַנִּסִּים, וְאֵין שָׁם מְקוֹם הַתְּפִלָּה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם ט): וְהָיָה כְּצֵאתִי אֶת הָעִיר אֶפְרֹשׂ אֶת כַּפַּי.
And, [God] exiled them <to Egypt, because> the Land of Egypt is the antithesis of [the Land of Israel, the place of] NiSiM (miracles), as is written (Exodus 14:27), “And the Egyptians NaSiM (were fleeing) against it.” For [Egypt] is not the place of miracles. It is also not the place of prayer, as in (Exodus 9:29), “When I go outside the city I will spread out my hands [in prayer].”
וְכָל הַגָּלֻיּוֹת מְכֻנִּים בְּשֵׁם מִצְרַיִם, עַל שֵׁם שֶׁהֵם מְצֵרִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל. וּכְשֶׁפּוֹגְמִין בֶּאֱמוּנָה, בִּתְפִלָּה, בְּאֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל, הוּא יוֹרֵד לַגָלוּת.
[Our Sages taught:] All exiles are known as MiTZRayIM (Egypt), because they MeTZeiRIM (cause anguish and suffering) to the Jewish people (Bereishit Rabbah 16:4). Thus, when a person blemishes faith/<miracles>/prayer/the Land of Israel, he descends into <the depths of> exile.
וְזֶה שֶׁאָמְרוּ חֲכָמֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (סנהדרין צז.): אֵין מָשִׁיחַ בֶּן־דָּוִד בָּא אֶלָּא עַד שֶׁתִּכְלֶה פְּרוּטָה מִן הַכִּיס; הַיְנוּ שֶׁיִּכְלוּ הָאֶפִּיקוֹרְסִים שֶׁאֵין לָהֶם אֱמוּנָה בְּנִסִּים, וּמְכַסִּים כָּל הַנִּסִּים בְּדֶרֶךְ הַטֶּבַע, כִּי עִקַּר הַנִּסִּים בְּאֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל, כִּי אֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל שׁוֹתָה תְּחִלָּה (תענית י.), וּשְׁתִיָּתָהּ מֵהַתְּהוֹמוֹת, שֶׁהֵם לְשׁוֹן: וַתֵּהֹם כָּל הָעִיר (רות א׳:י״ט), שֶׁעַל דָּבָר נִסִּי תְּמֵהִין הָעוֹלָם.
This is the meaning of what our Sages taught: The Mashiach son of David will not come until the [last] penny is gone from the pocket (Sanhedrin 97a) —i.e., gone are the atheists who have no faith in miracles and explain away all miracles as natural phenomena. And the quintessence of miracles is in the Land of Israel, for the Land of Israel drinks first (Taanit 10a). Its drink is from the t’home (depths), which connotes [the miraculous and amazing, as in] (Ruth 1:19), “the entire city TeiHoMe (was amazed).” Something that is miraculous amazes everyone.
וְזֶה (תהילים מ״ב:ח׳): תְּהוֹם אֶל תְּהוֹם קוֹרֵא; כִּי יֵשׁ נִסִּין עִלָּאִין, שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת תְּהוֹם עִלָּאָה, וְיֵשׁ נִסִּים תַּתָּאִין, שֶׁהֵם בְּחִינַת תְּהוֹמָא תַתָּאָה,
And this is (Psalms 42:8), “Deep calls to deep.” There are “upper miracles,” which correspond to the upper t’home, and there are “lower miracles,” which correspond to the lower t’home (Shemot Rabbah 5:9).
וּמַלְאָךְ שֶׁכָּלוּל מִכָּל הַנִּסִּים, מִשְּׁנֵי הַתְּהוֹמוֹת, דָּמְיָא לְעֶגְלָא (תענית כה:), שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת עִגּוּלִים, בְּחִינַת אֱמוּנָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (תהלים פט): וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ סְבִיבוֹתֶיךָ; וּפְרִיטָא שִׂפְוָתֵהּ, שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת תְּפִלָּה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם נא): אֲדֹנָי שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח, וְהוּא כְּלָלוּת הַנִּסִּים.
{I saw the Angel of Rain. It had the appearance of an egla (ox) and prita sifevatei (its lips were split open). It was standing between t’home (the deep) and t’home (Taanit 25b).} Encompassing all miracles, both t’home, is an angel that has “the appearance of an EGLa (ox).” This corresponds to EeGuLim (circles), which is an aspect of faith, as is written (Psalms 89:9), “Your faith encircles you.” “And its lips were split open” alludes to prayer, as in (Psalms 51:17), “Lord, open my lips.” Thus, [the angel] encompasses all miracles.
וְזֶה פֵּרוּשׁ: עַד שֶׁתִּכְלֶה פְּרוּטָה מִן הַכִּיס – כִּי יֵשׁ בְּנֵי־אָדָם הַמְכַסִּים כְּלָלִיּוּת הַנִּסִּים, הַכְּלוּלִים בַּמַּלְאָךְ דִּפְרִיטָא שִׂפְוָתֵהּ, מְכַסִּים בְּדֶרֶךְ הַטֶּבַע; וּכְשֶׁתִּכְלֶה זֹאת וְתִתְרַבֶּה אֱמוּנָה בָּעוֹלָם – אָז יָבוֹא מָשִׁיחַ, כִּי עִקַּר הַגְּאֻלָּה תָּלוּי בָּזֶה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב: תָּבוֹאִי תָּשׁוּרִי מֵרֹאשׁ אֲמָנָה:
This is the meaning of, “until TiKhLeH PRuTaH min haKiS (the [last] penny is gone from the pocket).” For there are people who conceal all miracles, which are encompassed in the angel whose “lips were PRiTaH.” They m’KhaSim (conceal) [all miracles] with natural explanations. When this is TiKhLeH (gone), and there is abundant faith in the world, then Mashiach will come. For the redemption essentially depends upon this [abundant faith], as is written, “Come, gaze from the peak of Amanah.”
Torah 7:2
ב אֲבָל אִי אֶפְשָׁר לָבוֹא לֶאֱמוּנָה אֶלָּא עַל־יְדֵי אֱמֶת, כַּמּוּבָא בַּזֹּהַר (בלק קצח:): וְהָיָה צֶדֶק אֵזוֹר מָתְנָיו וֶאֱמוּנָה וְכוּ' (ישעיהו י״א:ה׳) – הַיְנוּ צֶדֶק, הַיְנוּ אֱמוּנָה. וְאָמְרוּ שָׁם: אֱמוּנָה אִתְקְרִיאַת, כַּד אִתְחַבַּר בָּהּ אֱמֶת:
2. Yet it is impossible to come to faith except through truth. As is brought in the Zohar (III, 198b): “And justice will be a belt for his hips, and faith a band for his loins” (Isaiah 11:5). What then is the difference between justice and faith? The answer given there is: [justice] is called faith when it is bound with truth.

Five possessions did the Holy Blessed One, set aside as his own in this world, and these are they: The Torah, one possession; Heaven and earth, another possession; Abraham, another possession; Israel, another possession; The Temple, another possession. 1a) The Torah is one possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written, “The Lord possessed (usually translated as ‘created’) me at the beginning of his course, at the first of His works of old” (Proverbs 8:22). 2a) Heaven and earth, another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “Thus said the Lord: The heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool; Where could you build a house for Me, What place could serve as My abode? (Isaiah 66:1) And it says: “How many are the things You have made, O Lord; You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions” (Psalms 104:24). 3a) Abraham is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “He blessed him, saying, “Blessed by Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth” (Genesis 15:19). 4a) Israel is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “Till Your people cross over, O Lord, Till Your people whom You have possessed” (Exodus 15:16). And it says: “As to the holy and mighty ones that are in the land, my whole desire (possession) is in them” (Psalms 16:3). 5a) The Temple is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “The sanctuary, O lord, which your hands have established” (Exodus 15:17”, And it says: “And He brought them to His holy realm, to the mountain, which His right hand had possessed” (Psalms 78:54).

It should be most honest:
'Israeli MK proposes dividing Temple Mount between Jews and Muslims
**AMIT HALEVI'S PLAN WOULD GIVE MUSLIMS CONTROL OF THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT COMPLEX, WHICH CONTAINS THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE, WHILE JEWS WOULD RECEIVE THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS.
(JUNE 8, 2023 / JNS)**
A Likud lawmaker is proposing a plan to divide Jerusalem’s Temple Mount between Muslims and Jews and to remove Jordan’s custodial status over the holy site.
Speaking to the Zman Yisrael Hebrew news site, Knesset member Amit Halevi outlined a plan whereby Muslims would control the southern end of the 37-acre complex which contains the Al-Aqsa mosque, while Jews would receive the central and northern area, where the Dome of the Rock sits.
According to Halevi, the reorganization makes sense from a religious point of view because that part of the Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, where it is believed the First and Second Temples stood. The Foundation Stone at the center of the Dome of the Rock is where Jewish sources place the Holy of Holies.
“This is the place of the First Temple and the place of the Second Temple built by Babylonian immigrants. No one needs to examine the stones to know that it is ours,” he said.
Halevi also wants to end Israel’s agreement with the Jordanian Waqf whereby the Islamic trust controls and manages Islamic edifices on the Temple Mount.
“Why not give them status in the Dizengoff Center [a large shopping mall in Tel Aviv] as well? This is a terrible mistake. This status should be abolished. I know it’s an agreement between countries, but we have to deal with it. It requires change, even if the process will take time,” he said.
In addition, Halevi wants to give Jews the same access to the Temple Mount enjoyed by Muslims. Currently, the Waqf only allows Jews and non-Muslim tourists access to the Temple Mount via the Maghrebi Gate and only at certain hours when the gate is open.
“We will take the northern end and pray there. The entire mountain is sacred to us, and the Dome of the Rock is the place on which the Temple stood. This should be our guideline,” he said. “Israel is leading. It will be a historical, religious and national statement. If this does not happen then you are not actually the owner of the house. You are a klutz. Why are you even going in there?”
Please let we all, Jews and all their friends, take the Har HaBayit and start building the Temple and restoring her service?
כִּ֤י אִם־הֵיטֵיב֙ תֵּיטִ֔יבוּ אֶת־דַּרְכֵיכֶ֖ם וְאֶת־מַעַלְלֵיכֶ֑ם אִם־עָשׂ֤וֹ תַֽעֲשׂוּ֙ מִשְׁפָּ֔ט בֵּ֥ין אִ֖ישׁ וּבֵ֥ין רֵעֵֽהוּ׃
No, if you really mend your ways and your actions; if you execute justice between one party and another;
גֵּ֣ר יָת֤וֹם וְאַלְמָנָה֙ לֹ֣א תַעֲשֹׁ֔קוּ וְדָ֣ם נָקִ֔י אַֽל־תִּשְׁפְּכ֖וּ בַּמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וְאַחֲרֵ֨י אֱלֹהִ֧ים אֲחֵרִ֛ים לֹ֥א תֵלְכ֖וּ לְרַ֥ע לָכֶֽם׃
if you do not oppress the stranger, the orphan, and the widow; if you do not shed the blood of the innocent in this place; if you do not follow other gods, to your own hurt—
וְשִׁכַּנְתִּ֤י אֶתְכֶם֙ בַּמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָתַ֖תִּי לַאֲבוֹתֵיכֶ֑ם לְמִן־עוֹלָ֖ם וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃
then only will I let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your ancestors for all time.

Zechariah 8:23
23So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you." | | כגכֹּֽה־אָמַר֘ יְהֹוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁ֚ר יַֽחֲזִ֙יקוּ֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה אֲנָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל לְשֹׁנ֣וֹת הַגּוֹיִ֑ם וְֽהֶחֱזִ֡יקוּ בִּכְנַף֩ אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵֽלְכָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים עִמָּכֶֽם: |
ten men: from the seventy nations. This equals seven hundred for each corner. For the four corners of the tallith there will be two thousand and eight hundred. | | עשרה אנשים: משבעים לשון הרי שבע מאות לכל כנף וכנף הרי לד' כנפי הטלית אלפים ושמונ' מאו': |
Please Judah if a righteous gentile tries ‘to grasp your ‘tsi-sit’ and say: "Let me go with you, for I have heard that God is with you." Open your heart for him/her and share all our Torah. The Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu as it is written and spared and is teaches in the Tanach and all scripture of Rabbinical Judaism………
