Har HaBayis: Is It A Value?

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 her.

And Rav Moshe Feinstein - 9/11, the Holocaust - the poskim did everything to find a way to Matir these women who were stuck.

The Rabbis looked at everything to find a heter.

They'll take unbelievable responsibility.

Because you're playing with adultery, where she's still married, that’s it.

And if she has a kid from the new husband, he's a mamzir.

Even if it was a mistake that the gadol made, he's still a mamzir.

You're playing with the most serious.

But for the Rabbis, they have a value — and I agree with their value — of seeing if they can free this poor woman, and they will leave no stone unturned in trying to find a legitimate heter.

Over here, where are we coming from for with Har HaBayis?

Is it: "Oh my gosh, we need to go ahead. This is a value."

Har HaBayis and pushing the Beis HaMikdash is a value.

If we look at it that way, we will literally leave no stone unturned in our search to find the Azarah, Har HaBayis, and where everything is...

Just like a gadol will do in many cases...

Woman’s a niddah and constant problems of Taharas HaMishpacha, maybe it’s only the 1st and the 7th day bedikas and not the bedikas every day.

Cause that's a value.

To have Tahara in the Mishpacha is a value. So they're going to try to find a legitimate way.

If there's a value, then they're going to look and look and find.

And I think, in my humble opinion, the more you look at it, you're going to see, "Wow. There's a mesorah. There's topography. There's archaeology."

But if it's not a value, it's just like, "I don't know. It’s a safek. Let's just stay away."
