A girl observes some of the items in the newly opened Museum of
Treasures of the Temple.

erusalem — Indiana
Jones wouls have a
field day in the recesses
of Metziltayim Street in the
Jewish Quarter of
Jerusalem's Old City, for
through an arched doorway,
hidden from the brilliant sun-
shine, visitors are greeted by
a museum exhibiting
precisely-crafted replicas of
implements used in the an-
cient Hebrew Temple.
• Since its official opening on
Jerusalem Day of this year,
the Museum of Treasures of
the Temple, a showcase of the
Temple Institute, a non-
political, independent body,
has
offered
both
schoolchildren and adults a
glimpse of a majestic Jewish
heritage.
The inspiration for the
museum came from an ex-
paratrooper named Rabbi
Yisrael Ariel, who par-
ticipated in the battle for the
Temple Mount in the 1967
Six-Day War. His first army
assignment after the war,
ironically, was to guard the
Dome of the Rock, located on
the site of King Solomon's
Thmple. Rabbi Ariel recogniz-
ed that while the main
spiritual center of the Jewish
people had been returned to
Israel, its treasured symbols
had not. The objects had all
been captured in ancient
times by conquering armies,
such as the Roman forces in
70 CE, whose conquests were
recorded in the famed reliefs
on the Arch of Titus in Rome.
Creation of the magnificent
objects used in the Temple
service signified, to Rabbi
Ariel, restoration of pride in
the Jewish heritage.
Although the obligations of
the Thmple could no longer be

j

.

fulfilled,
its
spiritual
messages could be com-
municated. His dream fueled
the efforts of expert artisans,
culminating in the opening of
the Thmple Institute's exhibit.
The major elements of wor-
ship in the ancient Hebrew
Temple are displayed behind
shiny black curtains, adorned
with applique cherubim. All
the items exhibited, from the
woven garments worn by the
kohen, or high priest, to silver
trumpets and chalice cup, are
based primarily on biblical
and rabbinic descriptions.
The laver, for example, used
by the priests for washing
hands and feet before worship
during the period the
Israelites wandered in the
desert, possessed two faucets.
In the Second Thmple, it had
12. The present copper model
contains six. Its base, which
some traditional authorities
describe as convex, others
concave, combines both forms
in an expression of
reconciliation.
The priest's robe must be
one continuous white gar-
ment without seams. In order
to weave it with a pattern of
squares within squares, a
computerized loom was
developed. In the case of the
priest's avnet, or belt, its
length of 19 meters (32
cubits), wrapped around his
chest, at heart level, was ob-
viously intended to limit his
movements during the atone-
ment service while he grappl-
ed with his consience.
Other items, fashioned from
gold and silver, as well as cop-
per and brass, serve to inspire
visitors with the grandeur
these symbols depict. The
regal crown, traditionally
donned by the high priest, is
made of gold and the
elongated trumpets, stan-
dards of an independent peo-
