The Mikdash Educational Center’s mission is raising the consciousness of the Holy Temple’s integral part of in Jewish religion, history, and culture. The two Holy Temples in Jerusalem which stood for over 800 years were the major national and spiritual centers of the Jewish people and a major world landmark. After being destroyed almost 2000 years ago the significance of the Temple and the knowledge of the service have gradually been diminished. The Mikdash Educational Center is committed to educating and rekindling the spiritual and national connection between Jewish people and the Temple and to disseminate experiential Temple education, in Israel and throughout the world.In our new premises in Jerusalem, we have established a Beit Midrash Mikdash, a Holy Temple Study Center to compliment the traditional programs that are implemented in schools, synagogues, and community centers in Israel and throughout the world

 

The experienced educational staff is made up of experts in both formal and informal educational with extensive knowledge of the Temple, Bible, and Jewish history. This staff is augmented each year with dedicated women doing their National Service.

Through the use of illustrations, and models of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and Mikdash (Holy Temple) in addition to garments, tools, vessels, and many other educational tools we have successfully brought the Temple experience alive and has exposed tens of thousands of participants to Temple education.

Nevertheless, the financial participation of the target groups does not have the ability to fully fund our activities. We have been approached by many financially struggling schools and communities that are not  able to receive this special opportunity because of lack of funds. With your support of we seek to expand the base to include those who are not able to afford the programs and to develop new innovative methods of teaching.
