Mercaz Har HaBayit-
The Temple Mount Information Center is located in the Old City of Jerusalem in the
Jewish Quarter. We opened the Mercaz on the holiday of Sukkot
in the year 5763 (2002). Our purpose is to arouse the hearts of the people and
awaken the will and the desire to build the Third Beit
HaMikdash - the Holy Third Temple - speedily in our days, for
nothing stands in the way of a determined will.
