ハヌカが終了するまえに、お知らせ。 さて、第二神殿のミニチュア1/60サイズがハヌカを記念して一般公開となりました。  ハヌカは前2世紀、ユダヤ人がマカベヤの反乱で神殿を奪還したことを記念する祭。新約聖書にも「宮きよめの祭」として登場。(解説：シオンの橋より) ハヌカの由来から、とても適した時期の公開だなと思いました。 本物の金、大理石を使っての壮大な模型です。金額もそれなりだったことでしょう。 モデルを再現したのは Aish HaTorah Yeshiva 団体で、彼らの施設の3階で公開されている。  歴史的には、第二神殿はバビロン捕囚からの解放後の紀元前515年にゼルバベルの指揮でほぼ同じ場所に再建された神殿。（ウキペディア日本版より） 第二神殿（紀元前516年~紀元70年）は紀元前586年に壊された第一神殿を再建したもので、現在の黄金のドームが建っている場所にあったものである。この第二神殿は紀元70年8月4日に（紀元66年から始まった）第一次ユダヤ戦争でローマ軍によりエルサレム神殿は炎上、エルサレムは陥落。（ウキペディア英語版より）  ローマ軍との戦いというと、マサダ・・・みなさまいかれましたか? そうして、バル・コクバの乱・・・というと、ラグ・バ・オメル （09年05月12日参照） ようは、ユダヤ教徒の皆さまがお祈りに行く、観光客必見の 西の壁の神殿の再現モデルでございます。 いかに美しい神殿であったのか、みんなで見に行きましょう!!!  Second Temple model erected opposite Temple Mount Ari Galahar Published: 09年07月08日, 09:41 / Israel Travel Largest model ever to be built with such precision put on permanent display at Aish HaTorah Yeshiva's visitors center overlooking Western Wall. 'We aim o help Jews reconnect with their history,' says yeshiva head  Temple model to open this Hanukkah Tzofia Hirschfeld Published: 09年12月11日, 08:20 / Israel Jewish Scene The Second Temple will be open to visitors next week. Albeit in a different location, and a smaller size, not allowing much room for people to enter. Still, it is certainly the next best thing at the moment. This Hanukkah the Aish HaTorah Jewish studies center in Jerusalem will inaugurate the largest model of the Second Temple to be built to date. The model, which was built on a scale of 1:60, and weighs 1.2 tons, is made of the original materials, namely, real gold, marble and stone, and was placed on the third floor of the center's building, facing the Western Wall.  The model was placed facing the Temple Mount in hopes of giving the visitors a feeling as close as possible to that felt by visitors back in the days when the structure, described as one of the most beautiful of its period, was standing. The place where the Jewish heart once stood, and, with its destruction, became a site of constant longing. "We knew that our building was in the most beautiful place, and that you can see the entire Temple Mount from it," Aish HaTorah director Ephraim Shore said, "It was clear to us that such a place should be used to illustrate the experience of being there.  "Clearly, this is an experience that cannot be completely reenacted today, but we saw fit to create something close. When you see the model on the backdrop of the Temple Mount, I think you get the feeling that people got in the Temple." One of the main dilemmas Aish HaTorah faced in building the model was of the character of their temple - Should the aesthetic aspect be emphasized, illustrating the Temple as a work of art, or should the educational aspect be highlighted?  "In the end we decided to go with the educational aspect," Shore said, "Since this is already a creative structure, we felt there was no need to add to it. The next problem was how to demonstrate the experience of the interior. "There are a number of models of the Temple around the world, but you usually only see it from the outside. You see the hall, but not the Holy of Holies and the menorah. It is true that the building itself is very impressive, but what matters is what happened inside.  "We were really worried about how to go about it because we wanted the final model to be the closest thing to the real structure, and therefore, we finally also ruled out ideas like making one of the walls of the hall out of glass, because we didn't want to compromise its authenticity. "The solution that we went with in the end was a hydraulic elevator that lifts the walls of the hall and reveals the internal activity in it. This makes the experience more than just an exterior visit."  お気に入りの記事を「いいね！」で応援しよう
