Editing Synagogue (section)

== House of Our Teacher ==
After the Temple's destruction and Israel's exile, the Divine Presence went into exile with them. Wherever Israel was exiled, there was a "mini" Temple besides the synagogues called mini sanctuaries. There was the main mini sanctuary (where the Divine Presence dwelled at a higher level than other synagogues) in each generation. The main mini sanctuary of each generation was chosen according to the location of that generation's leader, who essentially led Israel in his time, called the House of Our Teacher.

In 5752 (1992), the Rebbe distributed a special pamphlet called "Pamphlet of Our Teacher's House in Babylon" where he explains the virtue of the 770 synagogue as being the "House of Our Teacher" of the final generation, since the leader of the current generation is located there. He innovates that during the redemption, the Divine Presence will first be revealed in 770 and then move together with the synagogue to Jerusalem, to the Temple Mount, to the true and third Temple.
