Insight Double and Beyond

This week’s Haftorah begins “Nachamu Nachamu” – “comfort, comfort”. It is a double comfort for the destruction of the first and second Beis Hamikdash (Holy Temple) – the building of the third and everlasting Beis Hamikdash. Double doesn’t only mean two times; it means multiplying infinitely. The third Beis Hamikdash, in the unlimited Redemption through Moshiach, will be amazingly unlimited, and of course will also include all the special qualities of both the first and second Beis Hamikdash.
