A Temple Mount Moment: The Eitam Aqueduct

 

Water, water everywhere! In the Holy Temple water was necessary to constantly clean the blood of the offerings from the inner courtyard. Water was also necessary to keep the copper laver full for the daily sanctification of the hands and feet of the kohanim. And water was also necessary for the mikva'ot (ritual baths) in which the kohanim purified themselves. But from where did all this water originate? A Temple Mount Moment is the joint project of the Temple Institute and High on the Har. Temple Mount experts and co founders of High on the Har, Dr. Melissa Jane Kronfeld and Rabbi Yehuda Levi present each week fascinating facts and insights about the Temple Mount and the Holy Temple, its past, present and future!
