The Mikdash we daven for
The Third
Beis HaMikdash
Every day we ask for it back. Here you can begin to see it — the gates, the courts, the keilim, the avodah — and feel why we miss it.
Start here
It's where we come close to Hashem.
The Mikdash is the heart of the avodah — where the closeness we daven for becomes something real.
We learn its measurements. We mention it every day. But for most of us it's hard to picture the whole thing — the gates and courts, the keilim, the order of the avodah — as one living place.
So that's where we begin: with wanting to understand what we're asking for.
The Third-Temple floorplan
From words to place
It all comes from the Navi.
Every measurement in the model traces to the Navi and the meforshim — 534 cited dimensions so far, covering Yechezkel 40–42. The floorplan is real engineering; the beautiful scenes are how we picture it; the full walkable model is still ahead.
See what comes nextTwo ways in
Learn the place. Follow the day.
It's the same Mikdash, two ways to enter. In Learning Mode you explore it and come to understand it. In Real-Time Mode you follow the avodah as the day unfolds.

Move threshold by threshold, with each modeled fact connected to its cited source.

Choose a prepared view
Selected: Educational wide
For now, a set of reviewed scenes on the day's schedule — including the korban tamid at the mizbeach, shown with reverence. A free-running view may come later.
Walk inside it
Walk it at full scale.
Start in your browser. Later, put on a headset. And one day, walk a floor marked to the Mikdash's real footprint — the same two modes, now all around you.

We mourn it — and we're waiting for it.
On Tisha B'Av we sit low and cry for a House most of us have never seen.
כָּל הַמִּתְאַבֵּל עַל יְרוּשָׁלַיִם זוֹכֶה וְרוֹאֶה בְּשִׂמְחָתָהּ
Whoever mourns for Yerushalayim will merit to see her rebuilt in joy.
Chazal · Taanis 30b
We've been mourning for almost two thousand years. Now we're ready to begin seeing it. Making it visible can't bring the Geula — but it can make what we're waiting for feel real instead of far away.
This Tisha B'Av is also our first milestone: $100,000 to begin the build.
Where this is going
First the sources. Then the browser. Then the headset. Then the floor.
The sources, the public vision, and ways to take part.
A walkable sourced zone with guided learning, place and topic choices, and citations.
One reviewed korban sequence, shown with reverence, on a daily timeline with prepared views.
The same two modes at full human scale — WebXR, then one calibrated community pilot.
The complete 3D model, animations, VR, and staged installation are not built yet. Dates will be published when the work is funded, scoped, and owned.

The goal
$100,000 by Tisha B'Av
The first milestone. Every gift moves the build to its next stage — and it's not all-or-nothing: every dollar goes toward the next stage regardless of whether the full goal is reached.
No ownership or purchase is created.
- $100kIgnition
The free, browser-walkable Mikdash, the first animated avodah, and the WebXR build begun.
- $500kThe floorplan, alive
Everything above, plus the first physical AR Experience Center — walk the floorplan at full scale.
- $1MThe full vision
A populated, real-time avodah, a complete Learning Mode, and a second community center underway.

The honest questions
Is this a working 3D experience already?
Not yet. The cited dimension work and source foundation exist. The polished architecture and human scenes are Mikdash3 renders or clearly labeled concept composites. The browser model, animations, VR, and staged floor remain development work.
Where does the Third-Temple design come from?
Mikdash3's explicitly labeled Third-Temple reconstruction and canonical master drawings are the visual ground truth. Each published selection is checked against its original labeling and the canonical Third-Temple references.
Is this advocating action at the physical Har HaBayis?
No. This project is Torah learning and visualization. It does not advocate ascending, praying at, controlling, or taking action at the physical Temple Mount.
Will the online experience remain free?
Yes. The intended browser and app experience is an always-free gift to Klal Yisrael, supported by donations.
