Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of
the Lord forever.
PSALMS (23:6)
אַךְ טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי כָּל יְמֵי חַיָּי וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית יְ-הוָה לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים
תהילים כג:ו

akh tov va-khe-sed yir-d'-fu-nee kol y'-may kha-ya v'-shav-tee b'-bayt a-do-nai l'-o-rekh ya-meem

Today's Israel Inspiration

In today's verse the Psalmist prays that he will be able to "dwell in the house of the Lord" for all his days. The "house" in this verse is no ordinary house, but rather the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, the place where God's glory resides on earth. The desire is that all who visit from the nations will have a feeling that they are home. While we await and pray for the rebuilding of the Third Temple, an everlasting house for the Lord, the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation is devoted to bringing the prayers of the nations as close as possible to the site on the Temple Mount.
