Q: What is special about the Yeshiva being located in the Muslim Quarter, near the spot of the Temple?
A: Rav Neriya said: We must establish
Yeshivot everywhere, and this is all the more so true in the Holy City of
Yerushalayim, and this is all the more so true near the spot of the Beit
Ha-Mikdash.
Q: The Gemara says that the air of Eretz
Yisrael makes one wiser. Is this all the
more so in Yerushalayim?
A: Yes.
Q: Is it forbidden to live among the
Arabs because of the prohibition of putting oneself in danger?
A: No, it is a Mitzvah. 1. One must display self-sacrifice to settle
Eretz Yisrael. 2. It is no more
dangerous than elsewhere.
Q: What is the meaning of "Blessed
are You Hashem, Builder of Yerushalayim" in the Shemoneh Esrei?
A: Builder is in present tense. Hashem is building all of the time and we are
his partners building up Yerushalayim in all of her glory.
Q: Will we continue to pray "Build
Yerushalayim, Your city" in the Shemoneh Esrei when the Beit Ha-Mikdash is
rebuilt?
A: We will ask the Mashiach.
Q: If a person has a million dollars to
give, what is the best thing for him to do with it?
A: When Ha-Rav Aharon Soloveitchik was
asked this question, he answered: Build Yerushalayim between the walls (told to
us by Rabbi Jay Marcus).
