Temple Mount Update | THE TEN CROWNS OF THE MONTH OF NISAN​

The month of Adar is a magical month topped off with the Purim celebration on the 14th and 15th, the reading of the four special Torah readings of Shkolim, Zachor, Para and HaChodesh, the collecting of the half shekel offering, (not too late!) and the preparations to be made in anticipation of Passover. But we are just getting started! Monday evening begins the month of Nisan, the first month of the Hebrew year! The first day of Nisan was the day of the dedication of the desert Tabernacle, which we read about this Shabbat, (parashat Shemini), a day which earned Nisan ten crowns!

Crown #1: The dedication of the Tabernacle took place on the first day of the week!

Crown #2: The first of the twelve tribal leaders brought gifts and offerings to the Tabernacle!

Crown #3: the first day of Aharon's official service in the Tabernacle, beginning a priestly heritage that continues to this day!

Crown #4: The first day of the Tabernacle/Temple offerings!

Crown #5: The first time fire descends from heaven consuming the offerings placed upon the altar!

Crown #6: The first time that sacred foods were eaten by the kohanim in the Tabernacle!

Crown #7: The first time that the Divine Presence (Shechinah) rested amidst the people!

Crown #8: The first day the kohanim blessed the people with the priestly blessing!

Crown #9: The first day it became forbidden to perform offerings to HaShem outside of the Tabernacle/Temple!

Crown #10: It was the first month of the new year!

Nisan is known as the month of our ge'ula - the month of our redemption! Not just our redemption from Egypt on the 15th of Nisan, but our future redemption, may it be soon!

The verse from Psalms 96:11, "The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult" is related to Nisan, as the first letters of each of the four Hebrew words in the verse spell out the ineffable name of HaShem!

The name Nisan is related to the Hebrew word nes - which means miracle. And no wonder - Nisan, the month of firsts, the month of ten crowns, the month of the exodus and the Passover festival and the pilgrimage of all Israel to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and the month of our past and future ge'ula, is truly a month of miracles! May we merit witnessing many miracles this Nisan. Many miracles and glad tidings!

Be part of the excitement -Support the work of the Temple Institute!

Israeli Cultural Revolution Pesah 5782 -
Revival of Prophetic Poetry

Rabbi Mosheh Elharary,
chief rabbi of the city of Shlomi.

Binyamin Luria with Rabbi Yanuka - On That Day

And on that day, we love each other
Many bodies for one soul and no longer separately
Disputes in the name of justice, will surrender to peace
And then on that day we'll laugh for the past was all a dream

We will not hold a sword again, we will know no more war
The moon, will shine strong as the sun
Night is like clear day,
Everyone we lost He brought back
Everything we forgot He remembered...

And it was on that day, all masks removed, all suits taken down
The resurrection of living, light buried from days
May HaShem wipe a tear from every face

The look to the end in front of the fragments of time
Redemption with the sound of a horn heals a broken heart
The light of Genesis rises, the light of Genesis will rise

And on that day, we will love each other endlessly
As He gathers His children from the corners of earth
The truth, will cancel to the truth for the truth
Eternal life will replace the sorrow of death
Every living soul praises Yah...

Dews of life, many waters, love that will raise the dead
The light of the seven days, with prophets, face to face
On that day, HaShem will be One and his Name complete..

We return home,
The veil covers the cherubs
On that day, He comforts his beloved children

We hoped for that day, for the day of redemption
On that day we know, everything HaShem did was good
The good and the benevolent, a song instead of a prayer
Israel with Genesis, Israel with virtue

The murdered man's son enters the Abrahamic Covenant

Seven months after his father was murdered by Hamas terrorists, his son entered into the covenant of Abraham, in a moving ceremony in Eilat.

Mohel, Chabad emissary in Eilat: 'The heroism of the father stands here'

This is about the son, may he be spared for life, of Tal Chaimi HY"D who was kidnapped from his home in Nir Yitzhak on the morning of Simchat Torah and murdered by Hamas terrorists. This is his fourth son.

The one who circumcised the newborn was Rabbi Levi Hecht. During the ceremony after the covenant, the Habad emissary mentioned the heroism of the father: 'It was an exciting covenant, perhaps one of the most exciting events I have participated in, a boy who was born an orphan, but what stood here was the heroism of his father Tal, of his father and of his friends.

Our forces destroy terrorists in Rafah with the Memorial Day order
​

'Ovation' stations here in Command Center , on the eve of Memorial Day 2024 in Rafah.
Just before the attack, our land is still bleeding. We will stop and remember our brothers in the arms of the heroes and the brave who will never return.

'Ovation' stations, my brothers in arms a few words in a personal tone before a Central Command order.

Each of us could be somewhere else tonight, more personal. With the wife, with the children and yet we all chose differently.

On Memorial Day, we don't really need a Memorial Day to remember our fallen brothers. We carry them with us at every moment, and we are precisely here to tell them and the people of Israel - Your death was not in vain.

We will not stop, we will not run away. We will not dig in or hide, as was forced on our brothers on 07.10. We will bow our heads, but we will stand tall with all our strength, as our tanks, made in Israel can do best.

And while throughout the country there will be heard the sound of the memorial siren, we will make here a totally different sound, of might, adherence to the task, of friendship, of a generation that is not happy with war, but not at all afraid of it. Until we return security, until victory.

'Ovation' stations, brothers in arms, it is a great merit to be here with You tonight. A merit of which my grandfather who's buried in Morocco and didn't get to make Aliyah, could only dream about. Me and You, we have that merit.

According to the order of Central Command, we execute our mission. Not for a moment shall we forget our greatest mission - to be a free nation in our land.

Over.

'Ovation' stations here is Central Command.
Now we continue fighting until the end,
and until we win - prepare for contact.

In honor of Gil Fishitz Z"L,

in honor of Shai Pizam Z"L

'Ovation' stations,

here is Central Command - contact!
