Jewish Arrests on the Temple Mount since Rosh HaShana, September 13, 2015

We will in great detail outline the disturbing and illegal policy by the Israeli Government against Jews on the Temple Mount. Since the start of the Jewish Year in September of 2015, over 150 Jews have been arrested and or banned from the Mount for not complying with the ” No Jewish Prayer Policy”. The report was compiled by the United Temple Mount Movement in coordination with a legal group called Honenu that has diligently worked to help those arrested for “Temple Mount Prayer Crimes”.

    The Ignorance and Arrogance of Rabbi Avi Shafran I was not surprised by the vile views expressed by Rabbi Avi Shafran, spokesman for Agudath Israel of America. I was surprised that he decided at this most sensitive time to publically blame Jews for the crime of trying to pray on the Temple Mount. There is no doubt that such an attitude both legitimizes and strengthens Arab violence with a rabbinic stamp of approval! In my eyes, Shafran’s comments border on the criminal and he should be condemned by all!…

    As the modern age has brought in a wave of secularism, one would expect the draw of sacred spaces to also dwindle. This has not appeared to be the case. Though many times we see a sacred space as being tied exclusively to religion, these are in fact any place that people or society have set aside. The word “sacred” tend to stir up images of centuries-old churches and monuments, but what each person holds as sacred can differ greatly.
