National priorities

Hi,

"After the Six-Day War, when a Torah scholar and professor came to Rabbi Tzvi Yehudah Kook and asked him why he did not begin to build the Temple, he responded, 'The mitzvah of building the Kingdom of Israel takes precedence, according to the ruling of the Rambam at the beginning of the Laws of Kings.'" 

(Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, Sichot HaRav Tzvi Yehudah, Chapters of Messiah 4:Talmud Torah 1 addendum 2)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
