Parshat Devarim: The World's Favorite Mountain: "Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev taught that on the Shabbat before Tish'a B'Av, when the holy Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, every Jew is given a vision of the Third Temple to be built by the Mashiach. This Shabbat is called Shabbat Chazon, "the Shabbat of Vision."
The Torah reading for Shabbat Chazon is always the portion of Devarim. In this portion, Moses details the victorious battles with Sichon the king of Emori and Og the king of Bashan. As a result of these battles, Mount Hermon at the north of Israel is conquered. The image of Mount Hermon, the highest mountain in Israel, is an integral part of the Torah reading of Shabbat Chazon. What is its deep connection to the Temple?""
