The Rebbe said Torah on the verse "Pinchas the son of Elazar the son of Aharon the Kohen turned back My wrath from the children of Yisroel," and repeated from the holy Tiferes Shlomo that every mitzvah a person does passes through the Beis Hamikdash, and likewise, chas v'shalom, every aveirah also passes through and causes damage in the Beis Hamikdash. Only in this way were the nations of the world able to gain power and destroy such a holy place, since it had become impure from the many aveiros that, sadly, were committed. The Rebbe continued and brought out with pain that when they were in Eretz Yisroel this year, they saw with their own eyes that, to our great distress, an impure house of prayer was set up on the Temple Mount, and this too is only because the place has a flaw from our aveiros. This is the reason that every day a bas kol goes out, "Woe to Me, that I have destroyed My house," even though, sadly, we are already 1,958 years after the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash, because every day that one commits, chas v'shalom, an aveirah, the flaw on the Temple Mount grows stronger. The Rebbe aroused the listeners that now, in the Bein Hametzarim period, is the time to do teshuvah and thereby remove the flaw from the Temple Mount, and in this way we will merit that "these days will be transformed into joy and gladness" with the coming of the righteous Redeemer, speedily in our days, amen.
