Abstract
This article examines the symbol of the Beit ha-Mikdash, which translates from the Hebrew as House of Holiness, or the Temple, in the context of the treatment and sandplay of a Jewish child. Connections are made between the client’s need for a safe therapeutic setting, the temple as a free and protected space, and the relationship a client has with the therapist, the office, the sandtray, and the sandtray figures as creating a sanctuary.
