David’s Tabernacle - Amos 9:11

255

Rabbi Elchanan Lewis

14 Tammuz 5764

Question

As I read the Tanach, several reference to David’s Tabernacle being located about 8 miles NW of Jerusalem on the highest point near Gibeon or modern Ej-Jib. Do you see restoring the sacrifices in such a tabernacle if it were built?

Answer

By Jewish law after the first temple was built the only place for sacrifices is on Temple mount. That, as you know, is a bit of a political problem beside others...

Question

I heard that Besamim is NOT used for Havdala on Motzei Shabat Chol Hamoed, is this true?

Answer

Both opinions are mentioned. I personally use besamim. On Motzei Shabbat which is yom tov, no besamim are used since the bessamim "revive " us from the shock of losing our elevated status (neshama yetara), but the joy of yom tov makes this unnecessary. Chol Hamoed also has joy, but not to the same degree.
