In early March, Ana Ruiz and Shimi Tillman, 2nd Year Jewish Studies students, made a model floorplan of the first Temple. In this blog, they write about the historical context of their project.
We made a lego floor plan Bet-HaMikdash/the temple (the first temple) built by Shlomon and destroyed later by the Babylonians 586. The model shows the Holy or Holies where the Ark was kept, the Holy Place and the porch.
