Listen "Moed Katan 26b: Yerushalayim, the Kosel, and the Makom HaMikdash"

Episode Synopsis

Do we still tear keriah when seeing Yerushalayim today? What about when standing at the Kosel or looking toward Har HaBayis? In this episode, we break down the halacha step by step. We’ll explain the debate among the poskim about Yerushalayim itself, the obligation everyone agrees to when seeing the Makom HaMikdash, and the question of whether tearing at the Kosel fulfills the mitzvah. A clear and practical guide to an emotional mitzvah many people wonder about.
