Fascinating, but... what about the Ark of the Covenant? Is it available to place in any reconstructed Temple?
Somewhat unrelated is the question of the Davidian monarchy. I've read that there is an individual that the reconstituted Sanhedrin has identified as the most direct living descendant of King David and that he is ready to assume the throne, but... Israelis don't seem inclined to give him the time of day, let alone reinstitute the monarchy.
While I don't claim any validated knowledge of Israeli public opinion, their collective interest and enthusiasm for some of these religious/historical issues seems a bit underwhelming. My impression is that the prevailing Israeli opinion is really very secular. Have you been to Israel or do you know many Israelis? If so, what is your view of Israeli opinion on these matters?
