The Beit HaMikdash. The Holy Temple. The center of Jewish longing and aspiration. In this visually stunning, meticulously researched work, the Temple Mount and the Beit HaMikdash — the place where Heaven touches Earth, where mortals can feel eternity — comes to vivid life. A breathtaking trip through history. Here, deep beneath the sacred earth, stands the Foundation Stone, where Creation began. Here Abraham bound Isaac upon the altar, and King Solomon built the first Temple. From this mountaintop the magnificent Second Temple cast its light to the world, and it was here that the Roman legions burned and plundered the Temple's treasures. Forgotten and neglected by the rest of the world, Jewish eyes and hearts have always turned to this holy mountain. Now, the Temple Mount comes to life before our eyes. An important work of scholarship and research. Rabbi Zalman Menachem Koren brings to this groundbreaking work a profound knowledge of the Mishnah, Talmud, and the classic commentaries, and a deep familiarity with modern archaeological findings. A respected scholar, he has devoted decades to studying the Temple and the Temple Mount. An heirloom edition, to be treasured by generations. Hundreds of magnificent photographs Pull out, panoramic diagrams of the Temple from many different perspectives Detailed descriptions of the various parts of the Beit HaMikdash: their dimensions, locations, and functions History and legends of the Western Wall A unique visual tour of the Temple

When we study Chumash — whether as students or as adults — it is frequently challenging to follow the order of events, where they took place, or exactly what the Torah is describing. This book uses a variety of visual aids to bring us clarity:
Timelines give a sense of when people lived and various events described by the Torah or Rashi.
Maps offer an understanding of where events in the Torah occurred.
Charts present concepts in ways that make them clearly understood and better remembered.
Illustrations offer realistic depictions of what written words can only attempt to describe, bringing abstract information to life.
Special sections on the Mishkan and Kohanim’s garments and on the Korbanos clarify these difficult-to-understand topics.
Now available in a beautiful coffee table–sized edition, enhanced with elegant gilded edges and a satin ribbon marker, this volume is as much a treasure to display as it is to study.
