THE DEATH OF THE FIRSTBORN SONS & PHARAOH'S RETURN TO BEING HUMAN
G-D GIVE TO ISRAEL THE KEYS TO THEIR FUTURE
In parashat Bo, G-d pulls the rug out from under the hapless Pharaoh, whose blinding pride has brought him to the brink of annihilation. But just before G-d drops the hammer on Pharaoh and Egypt, He delegates cosmic responsibilities to the newly forming nation of Israel: reckoning the new moon and preparing the Pesach offering! Meanwhile, the Pharaonic march of folly gets a reboot in the upcoming Biden Middle East foreign policy.
WEEKLY TORAH STUDY: BO
Nearly hidden in the bright lights and thunderous roar of the ten plagues that were visited upon Egypt was the understated, but no less astonishing miracle of the Hebrews finding grace in the eyes of their Egyptian neighbors, who showered them with silver and gold and fine garments as they prepared to leave Egypt forever. Why was this often overlooked miracle such an important part of G-d's plan for the exodus? What had Israel to gain from their newfound riches?

THE WATER LIBATION REENACTMENT: A PHOTO-RETROSPECTIVE
For the past 12 years the Temple Institute, in cooperation with other Temple organizations, has been conducting a Water Libation Ceremony reenactment during the week of Sukkot. The reenactment, which attracts 100s of participants, begins with a march down to the Shiloach spring in the heart of the City of David. There, kohanim draw pure waters from the Shiloach spring, which they carry in a silver flask back to Jerusalem’s Old City, outside the Temple Mount. On a model altar the kohanim reenact the Nisuch HaMayim - Water Libation Ceremony - which took place each day of Sukkot on the great stone altar which stood in the Temple Courtyard.
This year, due to Covid 19, we are not able to conduct the reenactment. The following photos, taken in past years, will have to hold us over until next year, when, G-d willing, we will be performing the real Water Libation Ceremony, in the rebuilt Holy Temple!
