Nearly 2,000 years
ago, our nation witnessed the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash
, a gleaming edifice of marble and gold
described by the Gemara as the most magnificent building in the world. To this
day, we cherish the memory of that structure along with the ever-present hope
that it will soon be rebuilt. A new book, titled The Original Second Temple: An Illustrated Guide to the Layout and
Design of the Pre-Herodian Beis Hamikdash
(Feldheim, 2021) by local author Yoav Elan sheds a new light on this timeless
topic.
