People are being unnecessarily cruel to Katie Zacharia. She’s clearly had a hard week and is no longer in the position. Just leave her alone now.

Here is a bold concept worth exploring: Build a full-scale architectural replica of the Beis Hamikdash—the Holy Temple—in upstate New York, based on the ancient designs and dimensions preserved in biblical and rabbinic sources. This would not function as the actual Third Temple. It would be an educational, cultural, and architectural landmark where visitors could experience the Temple’s magnificent design, history, sacred vessels, courtyards, chambers, and spiritual significance. The project could: • Preserve and teach thousands of years of Jewish history • Attract visitors from around the world • Create jobs and economic activity in upstate New York • Serve as a center for education, research, and interfaith understanding • Bring ancient architectural plans to life through modern engineering and immersive technology I would like to begin a serious conversation with New York State, community leaders, architects, philanthropists, and private investors about identifying an appropriate location and studying the project’s feasibility. New York has built world-class cultural landmarks before. Why not create one that brings one of history’s most significant structures—and the timeless vision it represents—to life? #BeisHamikdash #JewishHistory #NewYork #Architecture #EconomicDevelopment #Tourism #CulturalHeritage #Innovation
