As Israel approaches another national election, voters are weighing the familiar questions of security, the economy, judicial reform, religion and state, and the cost of living. These are all important issues. But for me, this election comes down to one question, and one question alone: Which political party is most committed to advancing the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem?

Yes, you read that correctly. I am a strict single-issue voter, and that issue is the Beit HaMikdash.

We have spent nearly two thousand years praying for the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the restoration of Jewish sovereignty, and the return of the Divine Presence to Zion. Three times a day, we beseech Hashem to restore the Avodah to His Holy House. Yet when the opportunity arises to translate those prayers into practical action, how many of us actually make it a political priority?

For me, the question is not simply which party promises better management of the State of Israel, but which one understands that the State itself is part of a much greater historical and spiritual process: the Geula.

Among the nearly forty political parties competing for our votes, I am looking for the courage, conviction, and determination to take the next step in Jewish history. Not merely to preserve what we have already achieved, but to advance toward what generations of Jews have prayed to witness.

Here is a hint worth considering: I am aware of only two parties whose ministers, Knesset members, and candidates regularly wear a Beit HaMikdash lapel pin. That small symbol represents something much larger. It raises an important question about which leaders are prepared to speak openly about the ultimate destination of Jewish national restoration.

Of course, a lapel pin is not a substitute for action. The real test is whether the people wearing it are prepared to turn religious aspiration into meaningful policy.

I believe we are living in an extraordinary chapter of Jewish history. We have returned to our ancestral homeland, restored Jewish sovereignty, reunited Jerusalem, and witnessed developments that our ancestors could scarcely have imagined. Surely, the next chapter of our national story deserves to be part of our political conversation.

For me, the ballot box is not merely about the next four years. It is about the next stage of two thousand years of Jewish history.

The question I will be asking is simple: Who is prepared to help move us from the State of Israel toward the fulfillment of the vision for which we have prayed for generations?

That is my single issue. That is my vision of our future.
