Among the miracles seen at the
Temple was the pattern of the smoke
from the sacrifices at the altar. It always
rose to heaven in a straight, unbending
line.
To maintain the Temple, each
Jewish male 20 and older was to pay
one-half shekel, regardless of his finan-
cial situation and of his place of resi-
dence (even those Jews who lived out-
side of Jerusalem and did not use the
Temple as often as the city's residents
were expected to pay the half shekel).
There weren't any IRS agents at the
time, or any tax forms either, but amaz-
ingly enough almost everyone seems to
have paid up, for in its long history the
Temple never ran out of funds.

Initially, the Second Temple was
0
not as impressive as its predecessor. The
same materials simply were not available
and so, for example, a menorah was
constructed out of lead, rather than sil-
ver. King Herod, however, became
determined to make the new Temple as
magnificent as the first. He ordered that
it be rebuilt.
When the Second Temple was com-
plete, it was exactly as Herod had envi-
sioned. The Talmud recounts, "Whoever
has not seen Herod's building has never
seen a beautiful building in his life. Of
what was it constructed? Of marble
stones in variegated colors: blue, red and
green."
