The 9th of Av [1] is a state in which egoism dominates us, separating and destroying everything good that can be between us. It is a state that is called the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash (Temple [2]).
Today we are found precisely in this situation. Nobody has good feelings about others, so it is up to us to begin rebuilding our temple, building The Third Temple—the state of unity and complementing of each other, rising above hatred, arrogance and pride.
We need to create a connection between us in which the good force called the Creator [3] will be revealed. For the meantime, it is still concealed in our world. The moment we establish proper and good connections, the goodness of the world will be revealed in us and we will show the whole world how to build the Third Temple for all peoples, as it is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples” (Isaiah 56:7).
I wish all the tragic events that are happening to our people would stop, that we would recognize and understand what is causing them and uproot it, rising above it with a connection of love. May we do this successfully!
