On Tishah B'Av, we sit on the floor and we cry. There's a famous Gemara at the end of Makkos, where the Chachamim and Rebbe Akiva were walking,when they reached Har HaBayis, the Chachamim began to cry. They saw a fox coming out of the Kodesh HaKadoshim. But Rebbe Akiva was laughing. They asked him, […]
For 1,800 years, we didn’t return to Israel in a serious way. And God said, "I’ll wait. You’re waiting? I’ll wait too." I believe the same applies to the Mikdash. Hashem is saying to us: “You have Israel, but you don’t want the Mikdash? Fine. I’ll wait.” The building of the Beit HaMikdash, will come […]

The only thing that's stopping us from being Karbanos, is the Jewish people! We never had such a strange, unbelievable phenomenon that's taking place today. Klal Yisrael got used to 2,000 years of galus, got used to shtiebel mentality. You're in your shul.You're in your place. And you got used to that type of living, […]
Is there a value to coming back to Har HaBayis? Ask any Posek, ask what Rav Ovadia Yosef was doing until the day he died. What was he doing? He was trying to Matir Agunas. So as he was dying, there was an Aguna, and he was trying to figure out a way to free […]

Yosef Meir Winstock (interviewer): Why do you think our bias is so overlooked? Why is there so little interest in the holiest site for Yidden? Rabbi Daniel (Danny) Myers (Interviewee):Jews are very, very resilient, and in whatever position we're put into, we make the best of it. We've had 2,000 years of a certain status quo. Sometimes it's […]
In another half a year or a year, we're going to have the majority of Jews, for the first time in 2,500 or 2,600 years. The majority of Jews are here. There's so much going on. I think it's from the Nazir, Rav Kook's Talmid, Talmid Chaver, ותחזנה עינינו בשובך לציון ברחמים. אמן. So I've always taken it […]
Even if we get rid of all the ayatollahs, we have not yet won this war with Iran. The question you have to ask yourself is, why does Iran, a country 75 times the size of Israel and almost a thousand miles away, care about tiny us? How do we matter? Another question you have […]
The Gemara in Chulin :צא, brings the story of Yaakov Avinu and his dream of the ladder. The Pasuk starts off with, ויפגע במקום The Gemara explains that "במקום" is referring to Har HaMoriah, AKA Har HaBayis, and the Makom HaMikdash.
