One Friday night, I saw a young “shiur aleph” bachur who was “davening b’avoda.” I felt he wasn’t up to it and that it was coming from a more “chitzoniyusdike” place, so I told him some foolish sentence — I don’t even remember what it was — and his face fell. Sadly, I don’t remember him ever davening b’avoda again in the next two years I spent with him • By Rabbi Levi Liberow, Beis Moshiach Magazine • Full Article

In this video, part of a series called “Holy Temple Myth Busters,” the speaker attempts to dispel a “myth” that the Beis Hamikdash will descend from Heaven.
