From the gates in the high walls, through the courtyard surrounded by four chambers, up the arch-shaped staircase, through the magnificent double doors flanked by the pillars Boaz and Jachin, and into the Holy of Holies: join the builders of the Second Temple, and no need to bring a pick-axe or carry huge stones. A creative, fun, and stimulating activity that acquaints players with the Second Temple, of which it has been said, “Whoever has not seen the Temple of Herod has never seen a beautiful building in his life!” 

After completing this wooden model, come visit the Israel Museum to see the famous three-dimensional model of Jerusalem in the late Second Temple period. The 1,000-square meter miniature city is based on the research and planning of Prof. Avi-Yonah, one of the greatest scholars of ancient Jerusalem.
