Beit HaMikdash

היום במקדש

Today at the Mikdash

If the House stood today, what would today look like? The date and the sun are real. Everything else is an educational simulation.
Reconstruction: the empty inner court at first light, seen from between the altar and the porch; twelve broad steps rise to the Sanctuary's doorless opening under five stacked oak lintels, the golden vine faintly visible inside.

This page does not claim that any Temple service is taking place, and it does not predict how a future service would be arranged. It names no priests. Sunrise and sunset are calculated for Jerusalem; the Hebrew date comes from your browser's calendar.
