The Temple’s bricks and stone have been destroyed, but the Divine Promise still stands. The Temple will be rebuilt and until that day Zion will never be forgotten.

Tisha B’Av teaches us that throughout history, hatred of Jews existed. The barbaric Hebron massacre is a perfect example and should be remembered.

Not just the Jewish People, but all people who long for global peace and harmony should hope and pray for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
