Was Rabbi Eli Schlanger one the apocalyptic oddballs trying to build the Third Temple?
Rabbi Elboim eulogized Rabbi Schlanger: "The heart mourns the murder of the martyrs in the terrible terror attack. I had the privilege to host the martyr Rabbi Eliyahu Schlanger on the roof of the #Machkameh synagogue with a delegation of #Australian #Chabad rabbis… "The rabbi studied the issue of ascending the #TempleMount and the law of building the Temple in our days in depth, and his face beamed when he saw the place of the Temple. We all pray that these will be the final sacrifices and we will be comforted by the construction of the Temple."

The last part of this pull quote is the actual story. Not all the quaint bullshit I was excited about.
"By 2024, the community had outgrown its rented rooms and church basements and purchased the building that became the new #Jewish center, roughly tying one in #Fairbanks, #Alaska, as the northernmost #Chabad houses in the world. The building sits in #Reykjavik’s compact downtown, just blocks from the iconic #RainbowStreet and #Harpa #OperaHouse that make the city one of the most Instagram-friendly sites in the world.
In a city that caters to tourists, and for a community built largely from #immigrants, longtime #Icelandic Jewish families, and people who married into Icelandic life, the new center represents something rare: a shared physical home.
“It’s been clear for a long time that we need a home for our community,” said one Jewish resident in #Iceland, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because not all of his colleagues know he is Jewish."
