When Solomon's Temple fell in ancient Jerusalem, Jews faced an existential crisis: how could they maintain sacred connection without their central holy site? The transformation that followed revolutionized Jewish concepts of sacred space, shifting from Temple-centered holiness to portable, metaphoric expressions of sanctity. Through the lens of Birkat Ha-Mazon (grace after meals), this transformation reveals how post-Temple Judaism successfully converted literal sacred geography into symbolic sacred structures—making every individual a priest, each meal a sacrifice, and every table an altar. Using J.Z. Smith's framework of locative versus utopian worldviews, the research traces this evolution through textual analysis of liturgical sources, particularly Amram Gaon's version of Birkat Ha-Mazon, combined with anthropological and theological interpretation. The prayer functions as a "liturgical journey to the sacred center," guiding participants through concentric circles of increasing sanctity—from universal sustenance to covenant history to Jerusalem's restoration—culminating in messianic imagery. This historical adaptation provides a compelling model for contemporary Jewish environmental theology, offering a pathway to reconnect with creation spirituality while avoiding idolatry through Judaism's attributive rather than inherent concept of holiness. The findings illuminate how religious traditions can maintain theological continuity even through profound historical disruptions.
