The Temple Within - The Beis Hamikdash as a blueprint for personal growth

Embark on a transformative journey with The Temple Within. In this luminous guide, Miriam Yerushalmi reveals how the sacred design of the Beis Hamikdash mirrors the inner architecture of our soul.

Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Torah and the profound insights of Chassidus, each chapter invites you to awaken your inner sanctuary—a place where divine light dwells and personal transformation flourishes. With graceful clarity and gentle inspiration, this work nurtures the creation of a living temple within, guiding you to embrace your true purpose and live in the radiance of your own holy space.

“This hands-on manual offers beautiful, detailed insight into building one’s personal Holy Temple. Full of inspiration and positivity, it is almost entirely based on sources from Chassidus and the Rebbe’s discourses, as well as other Torah sources. Yasher ko’ach!”

Rabbi Shloma Majeski, Dean, Machon L’Yahadus

“To apply the inspiration from each vessel and service of the Temple is to live with the reality of redemption. Miriam Yerushalmi brings these concepts to life in a clear and appealing manner.”

Rebbetzin Geula Newman, Chabad of Beverlywood, Chabad educational consultant, teacher at Bais Rebbe Junior High
