Exodus 23:14 "Three times shall you celebrate for me in the year"
The travel industry is constantly advertising attractive "holiday package deals," low air-fares and reduced round-trip flights.
When the Temple is rebuilt, the Jews will not need any advertisements urging them to travel to Jerusalem.
The Torah commands us to journey to Jerusalem three times a year - on Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot. In Jerusalem, we are to rejoice in the Beit HaMikdash.
We must also not arrive empty handed (see Negative Mitzvah 156).
We must bring a special sacrifice on this festive occasion, the Korban Hagigah, the celebration offering.
