Har HaBayit and the Geulah Process
The redemption (Geulah) of Am Yisrael is not only a hope for the future—it is unfolding now. Har HaBayit, the holiest place in the world, is at the heart of this process. This post explores how the physical return to the Temple Mount—through halachically permitted ascension, national awareness, and spiritual readiness—is a vital stage in the unfolding of redemption. Drawing from Tanach, Chazal, and modern poskim, we show how Har HaBayit is not only symbolic but also a concrete catalyst for the Geulah and the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash.
Responding to the Opposition: A Respectful Halachic Clarification

This post seeks to clarify—not to criticize—and invites open, respectful dialogue in pursuit of truth and holiness.
