Temple Altar Construction Begins on Day of Destruction
Here's one for the prophecy buffs - the Temple Institute has begun construction of the altar for the future Temple, in Jericho. I read that it's being made of the smallest possible size so that it can be relocated to the Temple Mount more easily. The event took place on Tisha b'Av, the day when the Jews recall to mind the destruction of the first two Temples. While clothing and perhaps some pieces of furniture have been prepared for the Third Temple, to my knowledge this is the first time those involved have begun to make such a key component of the Temple sacrificial system.
