Does the Temple Dedication Work Again?

The book of ezra tells the story of a temple being built in Israel. The builders get cracking, and they're doing all the stuff that looks like how they did it last time. But something is off this time; nobody who was there for the dedication isn't here now. And so there's a bitter sweetness at getting cracking on, but sorrow at the realization that it's probably never going to be the way it was.
