I am at the point in the trip where the familiar surroundings for the time being are here in Jerusalem rather than New York. Jerusalem is so intense- difficult to describe on paper or words. It must be experienced. I will attempt to describe.
Micha Ashkenazi had breakfast with us this morning. He is an Archaeologist turned tour guide. What a description he gave us of the Temple Mount, where the Holy of Holies was located and how the new Temple could be built on the present site.
After breakfast we had a trouble getting going- trying to meet times of the English showing of the Temple Institute's video at 11:40am, the tour through the Rabbi's Tunnel at noon and the Models of the Temple (along with the Third Temple), as well as getting up on the Temple Mount.
The Temple Institute is beyond description. They have vessels on display there which are exactly to the specifications in Exodus and Leviticus. It is like a dream being in it. More about this and more in my next post.

This is really good. I remember being in that institute and looking at everything. Then going up on the Temple Mount. Wow.... What a day.
