Description

The Divine revelation on Sinai was an unprecedented experience, yet the holiness of that site was only momentary, as opposed to the Temple Mount, where holiness is eternal. What is the difference? Similarly, the holiness of the Land of Israel was negated following the loss of the First Temple, but holiness was regained and was made permanent after Ezra's return to the land. What is the difference? Thoughts on Parshat Yitro and the role of human initiative in creating holiness.
