Jerusalem, holiest of the holy cities, is foremost in our prayers while we await its restoration. Rabbi Wein paints the picture of the glory days of the Holy Temple, its fateful destruction, and its transfer to the hands of conqueror after conqueror until the War of Independence. Our presence there now is an incomplete miracle. It has grown beyond the wildest dreams of generations past, yet the constant security threats remind us of the urgent need for our continued prayers.
