Praying for the rebuilding of the Temple

Shavuah Tov, (good week)  We would try to encourage everyone to remember where we are in relation to the Biblical Calendar. Today is the 5th of Av.  We are in the nine day period that mourns the destruction of the Temple.  If ever we needed a Temple in the Holy City its now.

Lets remember to say the prayer Yehi Ratzon.

May it be your will, HaShem our G-d and the G-d of our forefathers, that the Holy Temple be rebuilt, speedily in our days. Grant us our share in your Torah, and may we serve You there with reverence, as in days of old and in former years. Then the offering of Judah and Yerushalyim will be pleasing to HaShem, as in days of old and in former years

As you may know July 9th 2009 was the Seventeenth of Tammuz.  This day is a fast Biblically. (Zech 8:18-23)  This day is known for Five disaters that occured throughout Biblical history.  In this class I discuss each of these disaters.
