To Rebuild | Rabbi Ari Kahn

If you're going to build a new building, the first [music] thing you need to do is destroy the old building. You buy a property and you want to put up a new house. What do you need to do? You need to knock down the [music] house, turn it from a house into a ruin, into a field, and now you can start building again. Rebbe Akiva sees the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash [music] as the first step to building the third Beit Hamikdash.
