The Institute is dedicated to every aspect of the Biblical commandment (but not only) to build the Third Holy Temple on the Temple Mount.
The Institute short-term goal is to rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind through education. Our long-term goal is to do all in our limited power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time.
