'It is extremely moving to walk on the road on which Prophets, Kings, Priests and the entire Jewish nation walked to reach the Temple Mount in ancient times.'

It is customary to eat dairy on Shavuot, and we are going to tell you why!

Although nowadays there is no Passover sacrifice, as there is no Holy Temple in Jerusalem, we can still learn from it.

Jews celebrate the Purim holiday with costumes, parties, food and drink. Yet the festivities are meaningful and permeated with spirituality.

The Waqf and the Muslims are turning the tables and rewriting history when they accuse Israel of breaching the status quo on the Temple Mount.

Our sages point out an important lesson on education and parenting derived from the lighting of the Menorah.

The Tenth of Tevet is a fast day calling for introspection and self-improvement so that we could become worthy of God's rebuilding of the Holy Temple.

The Maccabees could have lit the Menorah with regular oil, but wanting to repair their relationship with God, they insisted on a pure product.  

All year round, we must battle the forces of darkness by adding more and more light to the world. Chanukah reminds us that this is a battle we must face every day.

Because Chanukah usually occurs in December, it is sometimes thought of as the "Jewish Christmas." It isn't, of course. But what's it's really all about?

Sukkot reminds us to keep the theme of unity. It reminds us that all are equal in God’s eyes.

Why does the High Priest wear his golden garments on Yom Kippur? Why bring to mind the sin of the Golden Calf?

On Tisha b'Av, the anniversary of the destruction of both Holy Temples, tens of thousands packed the Western Wall plaza to observe the annual day of mourning.

Tisha b’Av commemorates a great number of calamities in Jewish history, but we focus primarily on the destruction of Jerusalem and the two Holy Temples.

The message of the very first Tisha b’Av: Count your blessings and don’t cry over the small stuff!

When Tisha b’Av falls on Shabbat and is thereby postponed, we are treated to a Divine 'wink' of sorts and merit to experience a 'taste' of the Messianic era.

On Tisha b'Av we read the Book of Lamentations and we ask: Why did God ignore the prayers to save Jerusalem?

Could a misunderstanding end up destroying the Holy Temple? Who were Kamtza and Bar Kamtza? What do they have to do with Tisha b'Av? What can we learn from their mistakes?

As we pray at the Western Wall and gaze up at the Temple Mount, we cannot help but wonder why there is no Holy Temple today. Does it have anything to do with the slanderous report of the spies in the times of Moses?

This week's Torah reading contains an important message: Our time is limited, and we must make the best use of it!

Peki'in, a primarily Druze town in northern Israel, has a significant, albeit neglected, connection to the Lag B'Omer celebrations.

Sins, sinners and atonement is God's job. Our job is to show love, sensitivity, understanding and compassion.

The Thanksgiving offering that one person would bring to the Holy Temple included 40 loaves of bread that had to be eaten within 24 hours! Is that possible?

Why is it that the person who brings a flour offering is called a 'soul' while the one who brings an animal offering is merely a 'person?'

There are two oddities about the garments worn by the priests in the Holy Temple. What were they and what can we learn from it?
