The temples themselves were thought to house the presence of God. This matters because in order to understand the Israelites relationship with God as well as how they worshiped him, one must have a proper understanding of the temples they…

Despite the many obvious and potential negative impact that the Arab Spring could cause in Israel, many will also argue for the positive.
