That was a flawed concept from the beginning. Did we really need a central “Temple”? What would Judaism today look like if our religion was centralized?
How much more could be accomplished if we could harness the MORAL and SPIRITUAL forces instead of the physical ones that took to build this Temple?

By western standards, the Chinese workers are little more than slaves. Are they slaves by their own standards? Is there an objective lens to measure unjust servitude?

How true that often the small things in life are really part of the tapestry of life, adding fullness and richness to our passage. Just about two years ago a boyhood friend, who knew me in kindergarden, came back into my life, as his wife joined the Hadassah group and my wife got friendly with her. I moved away right after my seventh birthday, and hadn’t seen him in almost 55 years.
