LEGO Master, Yitzy Kasowitz of jbrick.com has done extensive research of the Second Holy Temple from a variety of sources such as Maimonides, the Talmud, and other scholars to develop his expertise of the Second Holy Temple. He used his research to build what has been identified as the most accurate model of the Second Holy Temple in existence. The model contains over 6000 LEGOS, and is 1/613 size of the actual Temple. It is amazing all the minor details included for accuracy. Ytizy used the model to bring the Temple to life in full detail, including: the Antonia Fortress, Tiropian highway, Kidron Valley, bridges and the grand stairs of the Chulda gates. The different modules of the temple were lifted to show the attendees the details of the different parts of the Temple. He also has a larger model of one of the entry doors and wall with a LEGO figure that showed the enormous size of the Temple, relative to the size of an average man. As he discussed the main sanctuary, the walls of the Holy and Holy of Holies were peeled away exposing the magnificence of the structure, and provided details we never knew. His lifting the Temple Mount section revealed many hidden and unseen details (tunnels, archways, etc.). He also made a prediction of where the arc of the covenant may be buried.

We brought together 5 Men's Clubs from Old Bridge, Aberdeen, Marlboro, and Manalapan. About 90 attendees were in gathered around to learn about the Holy Temple. We did have sponsorships, that were recognized and had preferred seating. Even those most learned about the Holy Temple learned details that were previously unknown. Refreshments were served at the event (cookies, pastries, hot & cold beverages).
