The connection between Yam Hamelach and Beit Ha-Mikdash
The final meaning of Yam Hamelach
Israel is a land without superlatives. Except, in the case of, Yam Hamelach. This is to symbolize the connection between the highest spiritual place and the lowest place in the world. Yam Hamelach expresses the great destruction expected when we leave the covenant, and the great redemption when we return to the covenant.
The return to life of Yam Hamelach is beautifully described in Herzl’s vision, which connects our days with Ezekiel’s prophecy – the transformation of the land of Israel from desolation to the Garden of Eden.
