Three times a year, on Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot, we stand in prayer and say the same painful truth:
“Because of our sins we were exiled from our land… we are unable to ascend, to appear, and to serve You in Your chosen house, the great and holy Temple…”
ומפני חטאינו גלינו מארצנו, והתרחקנו מעל אדמתנו, ואין אנחנו יכולים לעלות ולראות ולהשתחוות לפניך ולעשות חובותינו בבית בחירתך בבית הגדול והקדוש שנקרא שמך עליו מפני היד שהשתלחה במקדשך.
For two thousand years, those words were reality.
But today?
They are no longer fully true.
We are back. We are sovereign. We are living in our ancestral homeland.
And the Temple Mount is in our hands as well.
And yet, we are still not living our mission.
We are back in the Land… but not fully.
We have sovereignty in a small part of our ancestral Biblical borders… but not extending it to all areas God has miraculously given us back on a silver platter – Judea, Samaria, Gaza, tribal lands in Southern Lebanon and Southern Syria, and we are not acting as the true sovereign where it matters most, on our liberated Temple Mount.
We have the opportunity to apply sovereignty in the lands we liberated in the miraculous 1967 war and in today’s war, both wars we didn’t start but were forced to fight, to resettle our ancestral lands we are liberating in this war, to get rid the jihadi evil that has plagued us and desecrated God’s name, to have public prayers on the Temple Mount… but too many Jews are afraid to act on it, and even even afraid to say it.
And how is it possible that in the Jewish state of Israel, Jew are being arrested for bringing a small lamb for Passover to the Temple Mount, something our Torah commands, something we were unable to do for over 2,000 years?
How is it possible that the very place we are commanded to serve God, the Temple Mount, remains out of reach to Jews, restricted, silenced?
And maybe the hardest question:
Where are the voices that are supposed to be leading us?
How can so many rabbis and educators ignore the moment we are living in?
God is opening doors in history, placing opportunities right in front of us, almost on a silver platter, and instead of stepping forward, too many are stepping back, remaining silent, depriving our youth and this generation from internalizing our destiny.
This isn’t about politics.
This is about identity.
This is about destiny.
This is about bringing peace to humanity based on God’s plan, not based on misguided foreign Western thinking that has seeped into Jewish minds.
Our rabbis are not the ones making policy decisions, but they are meant to shape the spirit and direction of the nation. Their role is to awaken within the people a clear desire to fulfill our national mission, so that our political leaders ultimately follow the will of a strong, values-driven public.
That means speaking clearly, consistently, and without hesitation.
Every day, our rabbis and educators should be reminding the nation of our responsibility to restore the holiness of this land, to confront and remove the forces of evil that have embedded themselves here and desecrate God’s name. That our purpose as a nation to sanctify God’s name is to rid humanity of evil, especially from his holy land. This isn’t about politics. It’s about moral clarity, national purpose, and living up to who we are meant to be.
Every day, they should be speaking clearly and unapologetically: of course the Jewish state of Israel must restore and rebuild every part of our homeland that we are liberating in this war.
And every day, they should be reminding the nation that we are finally in a position, after thousands of years, to return to bring the Passover offering on the Temple Mount, and to live our national mission the way we were meant to, as a stepping stone to rebuild the third Temple.
We are the Jewish people, not just meant to survive in our land, but to live as a nation connected to God in our land, following the guidelines God told us in the Bible.
To rebuild. To return. To serve.
To speak openly about liberating every part of our homeland. To resettle it. To remove the forces that desecrate God’s name. To restore Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount, and yes, even the Passover offering, on the Temple Mount, and then rebuild it.
If we are afraid to even say these words, then what exactly are we doing here?
And if those who are supposed to lead and educate us are silent…
Then it falls on us.
The simple Jews who feel the truth in our bones. Who understand that history is moving. That redemption is not theoretical, it is unfolding.
The question is not whether God is opening the door.
The question is whether we are ready to walk through it.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
