The Temple in Our Time
Question
What is the Rabbi’s view regarding building the Temple: is it a commandment incumbent on us, will it descend from Heaven at some point, or does the Rabbi have some third answer that nobody has thought of yet..?
Answer
Indeed, an answer nobody has thought of: I have no idea, and neither does anyone else.
Discussion on Answer
I’m not rejecting anything. I have no idea. And those who advocate either of the two approaches have no idea either.
So the Rabbi rejects both views—both the idea that it will be built by a higher power and the idea that it is not a commandment?
