Up to the Temple

Waiting for the coming of the Messiah, a group of orthodox Jews is preparing by making Temple furniture.

They believe that, when everything is ready, the Messiah will come.

They made a golden menorah.
It is displayed in a glass case in the Cardo


Devon got to hold a part of the golden Menorah. He said it was very heavy.
This part holds the oil.

A breast plate for the high priest.
They made their own thread with biblical directions.

One of the most difficult things to make is the incense.
It consisted of 11 different spices, and no one knows the amounts.

Here you see the wash basin, on the left, and a Harp, in the middle.

Apparently King David's harp would sit in the windowsill at night and the wind would make music. This inspired his writing of Psalms.

The table for the bread looked very different. It had shelves and was not very wide.
