A Geulah project
Build the Third Temple
וְעָשׂוּ לִי מִקְדָּשׁ וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתוֹכָם
Every part of the House can be dedicated, from the foundation stones to the Menorah. Choose a part, sponsor it, and the name you choose is written on it here for everyone to see. Every part can also be shared: sponsor a share of $180, $1,800 or $18,000, and your name is listed with the part.
Estimated cost to build: $460,270,000
Amounts are estimates based on the Torah’s measurements and today’s material and building costs.

Why we build
The heart of the Geulah
The Beis HaMikdash is the heart of the Geulah. The Rambam counts building it as a mitzvah of the Torah, and teaches that Melech HaMashiach will build it and gather the exiles of Israel.
Our mission is to help bring that day closer: to learn the Beis HaMikdash, its form, its halachos and its avodah, to teach children and adults to long for it, and to bring together everyone who wants to see it built, speedily in our days.
Chazal teach that this learning already counts. When Hashem showed Yechezkel the form of the House, He told him: “Its study in the Torah is as great as its building.”
- 1Learn it
The form of the House in Yechezkel 40–48 and the halachos in the Rambam’s Hilchos Beis HaBechirah.
- 2Long for it
Songs, books and classes that bring the Beis HaMikdash into every home and classroom.
- 3Build together
Communities, schools, teachers and supporters who want to take part. Reach out below.
