Book Description
The Holy Temple in Jerusalem presents a magnificent review of the beauty and splendor of the Holy Temple when it stood in Jerusalem. The book provides a generous glimpse of the Temple's glory and honor, as well as an understanding of the Divine service that was performed there during the Festivals and all year round. Through these pages the reader is afforded the opportunity to walk through the Temple's hallowed precincts, while observing the service of the priests. Rabbi Yisrael Ariel was born in 1939. He was raised in Jerusalem and studied in the Yeshivat Hesder 'Kerem B'Yavneh' as well as the 'Mercaz HaRav' Yeshiva. He was among the paratroopers who liberated the Temple Mount in the 1967 Six Day War. He served as Rabbi of the Jezreel Valley Regional Council and as Rabbi of the Sdei Yaakov community. With the advent of the Yom Kippur war, he served as Rabbi of the IDF Northern Command and was later one of the prominent Rabbis of the city of Yamit. He is author of the multi-volume Hebrew publication Otzar Eretz Yisrael (A Treasury of the Land of Israel), a study on the borders of the Land of Israel according to Biblical sources. Since founding the Temple Institute more than 3 decades ago, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel has dedicated his life towards activities and programs geared towards preparation for the Holy Temple. Every aspect of his work is involved in deepening the knowledge and awareness of the centrality and importance of the Temple throughout every level of society. In this framework Rabbi Ariel serves as the head of Yeshivat Beit haBechira which focuses on every aspect of Temple-related studies. On the background of these studies, Rabbi Ariel initiated this work, which offers the reader hundreds of detailed artistic renditions created by some of Israel's finest artists.

Book Description
According to the Hebrew Bible, King Solomon built a Temple to the Lord in Jerusalem on a threshing floor that his father, King David, purchased from Araunah the Jebusite for 50 shekels of silver. "No other building of the ancient world," claims the Anchor Bible Dictionary, "either while it stood in Jerusalem or in the millennia since its final destruction has been the focus of so much attention throughout the ages." This stunning book, with its 160 illustrations, is a history of the Temple or Temples in Jerusalem from Solomon's time to the present. The book reads like an archaeological excavation, digging deeper and deeper at one site. Starting with a discussion of the Palestinian denial of a Jewish Temple, the book proceeds to explore the Islamic Dome of the Rock, the little-known Roman Temple of Jupiter, Herod's massive Temple Mount, the Temple built by the exiles returning from Babylon, and finally Solomon's Temple. With a lively and informative text to accompany the pictures, Jerusalem's Temple Mount is replete with archaeology, history, legends (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim), inscriptions, biblical interpretations, and forgeries.

Book Description
In a book that is being heralded as "an investigative masterpiece" with "astounding archaeological and prophetic implications," TEMPLE: Amazing New Discoveries That Change Everything About the Location of Solomon's Temple, by Robert Cornuke, is sending shockwaves through the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian worlds.Can you imagine the upheaval in political and religious thinking if the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is not the site of Solomon's and Herod's temples? And what if the stones of the Wailing Wall are not what tradition says? In this highly-researched, exciting book, the author proposes from current archaeological excavations and Scriptural corroboration that the true temple location is not where tradition teaches. This is must reading for anyone who wants to fit together the pieces of biblical records, current geo-politics, and prophecy. Says the author, "Let the adventure begin as we now take the Bible in one hand and a shovel in the other and dig up some long-lost buried bones of biblical history. Along the way we will walk unknown passageways, known only to the prophets of old, as we search for the true location of the lost temples of Solomon and Herod. We will also lift a candle into the dim recesses of history and uncover secrets about the Ark of the Covenant and the gold Mercy Seat's prophetic obligation as it relates to the future Millennial temple."
