[Menassa]

So, I have a question: What is the Jewish position on rebuilding the Temple? Is that something Jews still want?

Look to Ezekiel, it is everyday that we pray for the Temple to be restored.

I think Jews (especially Israelis) have enough taste to know that would be horrible.

As if the Hebrew "Israelis" are actually Jews.

A secular state with pseudo-religious trappings is irrelevant to Judaism.

That should be obvious especially given you are a Karaite IIRC .

A time of eternal peace would be horrible?

Ah... but not horrible.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

Boring can be horrible.

[Benuty]

It is neither boring or horrible.

Your absolutes are mythically irrelevant.

I like boring, boring means no plagues, means mrs mermania doesn't crash the car, boring has the mortgage paid on time. Boring means no war. Give me boring every day.

"Restored" by Yahweh/Adonai (I keep forgetting the proper term), or "rebuilt" by man?

No it doesn't. Sounds like a hideous war won't interrupt my fun.

To the (religious) Jews, the restoration of the temple would mean the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel under Davidic line by the actual Messiah (the heir to the throne) and the coming a utopian age.

Perhaps a little of both!

The question that was asked, is do we sit and wait for the Messiah, or attempt to set the preconditions (like rebuild the temple) for the Messiah to come?

The Jews avoid vocalising their god's actual name given by the tetragrammaton (יְהֹוָה -> YHWH -> Yahweh), instead reading it as Adonai (translated to Lord), and referring to it as HaShem ("the name").

Given that the last two temples were built by men, seems likely the third will be built be men. And like the last two, it'll be named for the reigning monarch who ordered it's reconstruction. (Solomon's Temple, Herod's Temple, [Whoever the Messiah is]'s Temple). At least, that's how I understand it. (But I'm not Jewish.)

Menassa is right, Ezekiel tells us that eternal dwelling place of the God of Israel on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

But how do you all feel about the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque? Both constructed on out holiest place as an insult to us, but now also have great religious and historical significance. Should a third temple be built around them or should they be demolished, or even relocated brick by brick?

Or HaMakom (The Place) Because whenever G-d is referred to in physical terms it is meant as a metaphor. It is axiomatic that G-d is not physical and has no physical properties. We, however, are physical and can better understand things from a physical frame of reference. Hence the use of the physical as a helpful metaphor for the understanding of a quality of G-d.

When I'm bored, I tend to find creative(destructive) ways to entertain myself. My wife and friends learned long ago the perils of leaving me to entertain myself.

Given Jordan owns that area its practically impossible to demolish them.

Besides the options will present themselves in time.
