Second Temple Model
In 2009 Aish HaTorah installed a model of the Second Temple on the glassed-in observation deck of its building facing the Western Wall. The 1.2-ton model, built to 1:60 scale, was constructed by Michael Osnais out of gold, silver, wood, and Jerusalem stone. A hydraulic elevator lifts the walls of the model so that internal features of the Temple can be viewed.
