Rebuilding Jerusalem

This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Shabbat Parshat Vaetchanan, 5729 (1969). The verse 'G-d will rebuild Jerusalem, and gather the scattered of Israel; He will heal those of broken heart' is explored through Kabbalistic analysis. The word Jerusalem means 'complete Awe', and the discourse explains that the Exile came about through a deficiency in awe and the Redemption will come through restoring it, with the Third Temple representing a higher revelation than either the First or Second.
