The three weeks are here.

The time when we refocus on the fact that our lives are incomplete.

There is a gaping hole in our ruchniyus, located at the holiest spot in the world. Har HaBayit.

Some of us just think about the problem.

Others are actually doing something about it.

Rav Yehuda Levy is the latter.

He has spent countless hours learning the sugya, written articles, taught classes, and spoken to gedolei yisrael.

He also goes up regularly, was involved in starting Yeshivas Har HaBayis, and has played an active role in expanding tefillah rights at our holiest site.

All of this, in addition to his professional life as a video production manager and a United Hatzalah volunteer.

In this episode, we discuss:

• A quick overview of the sugya (it's simpler than you think)
• How an iPhone 11 with portrait mode led to easing restrictions for Jews on Har HaBayis
• Why the gedolim were opposed
• The pushback Rav Yehuda received (called an apikores and more)
• The right way to bring the geulah (surprising psak halacha)

The goal of this episode is not to change your mind. But this is a sugya that deserves to be taken seriously.
