Shalom ~Hanna~,
This Fast has got me down today... I am so hungry I am pulling my hair! I cannot wait for the fast to end tonight so I can get a little more energy.
You are correct... Here is a story at A7 news about the Temple Institute starting to build the Altar for the Third Temple {May it be rebuilt speedily in our days}...

(IsraelNN.com) The Temple Institute will begin building the sacrificial altar on Thursday, Tisha B’av, a fast day when Jews mourn the destruction of the Temple some 2,000 years ago.

The sacrificial altar was located in the center of the Temple, and upon it the Kohanim (priests) offered the numerous voluntary and obligatory sacrifices commanded in the Bible.
The Temple Institute, which has already built many of the vessels for the Holy Temple, such as the ark and the menorah, has now embarked on a project to build the altar. Construction begins Thursday in Mitzpe Yericho (east of Jerusalem) at 5:30 p.m.
“Unfortunately, we cannot currently build the altar in its proper place, on the Temple Mount,” Temple Institute director Yehudah Glick said. “We are building an altar of the minimum possible size so that we will be able to transport it to the Temple when it is rebuilt."
Even a minimum size altar will work out to be approximately 4 meters tall, 6 meters long, and 6 meters wide. Workers have collected around 10 cubic meters of rocks weighing several tons already.
The rocks were gathered from the Dead Sea area and wrapped individually to assure they remain whole and are not touched by metal, as the Bible requires.
“The Torah says that no iron tools should be used on the altar’s stones,” Glick explained. “The altar represents a connection to life and to the creation of the world. Iron is the opposite – it is used to build tools of war, death, and destruction.”
The stones will be cemented together with a mixture of sand, clay, tar, and asphalt. Researchers from the Temple Institute visited the Finish glass factory near Yerucham to learn how to create a mixture which would remain as cool as possible under the altar’s unremitting fires and protect the Kohanim, who always worked in the Temple barefoot.
Glick said that Tisha B’av, a day associated with mourning, is really the ideal time to begin to build the Temple. “People mistakenly think Tisha B’av is only a day to cry,” he explained. “It also has to be a day of action. We have the ability in our era to begin the construction of the Temple."
“There are many positive developments recently with regard to the Temple,” Glick added. “Hundreds of Jews visited the Temple Mount this week, and more and more continue to come, after undergoing the requisite ritual immersion.”
The Temple Institute is searching for donations to help build the altar, which will cost around NIS 100,000 (approximately $26,000). More information is available at http://www.templeinstitute.org/main.htm.

The day will come, Gd willing, in our lifetime that instead of mourning and even fasting on Tshibav, we will be celebrating the coming of the Moshiach and the building of the Third and hopefully final temple.

It wouldn't matter if it was 99.9% of Jews wanting the Temple rebuilt, as long as the 0.1% of leftist Jews who control the media, courts and government offices don't leave, it won't be done. Israel needs Chiam ben Pesach to lead her to victory!

I think that faith in Hashem is what the majority of Israelis and Jews need. The ingathering of exiles will only occur when this happens. Putting faith in a man, any man, is a dangerous proposition for the Jewish nation.
יא.
12. Praiseworthy is the nation whose G-d is the Lord, the people that He chose as His inheritance. יב.
13. The Lord looked from heaven; He saw all the sons of men. יג.
14. From His dwelling place He oversees all the inhabitants of the earth. יד.
15. He Who forms their hearts together, Who understands all their deeds. טו.
16. The king is not saved with a vast army; a mighty man will not be rescued with great strength. טז.
17. A horse is a false hope for victory, and with his power, he will not escape. יז.
18. Behold the eye of the Lord is to those who fear Him, to those who hope for His kindness, יח.
19. to rescue their soul from death and to sustain them in famine. יט.
20. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

Tehillim 146
1. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul. 2. I will sing to the Lord with my soul; I will chant praises to my G-d while I yet exist. 3. Do not place your trust in nobles, nor in mortal man who has not the ability to bring deliverance. 4. When his spirit departs, he returns to his earth; on that very day, his plans come to naught. 5. Fortunate is he whose help is the G-d of Jacob, whose hope rests upon the Lord his G-d. 6. He makes the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; He keeps His promise faithfully forever. 7. He renders justice to the oppressed; He gives food to the hungry; the Lord releases those who are bound. 8. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord straightens those who are bowed; the Lord loves the righteous. 9. The Lord watches over the strangers; He gives strength to orphan and widow; He thwarts the way of the wicked. 10. The Lord shall reign forever, your G-d, O Zion, throughout all generations. Praise the Lord!
The Holy Third Temple will be rebuilt because Hashem has promised it and he is kind and his word is truth.
We need Chaim to bring the Jewish people together so we can merit the promised redemption...
