Jewish prayer has returned to the Temple Mount
2019-12-13
[Jpost] Jewish worshipers are able to pray on the Temple Mount with what appears to be the tacit consent of police forces at the site, The Jerusalem Post observed during a visit there on Thursday.

Despite the insistence by Israel Police that there has been no change in the decades-old policy, Jews now pray ‐ in full view of the police ‐ in an unobtrusive and inconspicuous manner.

A senior Wakf Department official said he was unaware of any change in the status quo on the Temple Mount, but warned that any change would lead to renewed protests and spark a strong response from Arabs and Moslems.

#2  notwithstanding Rabbi Weber, the nominative view is that, for almost all prayers, the fact is that almost all Jews have been ritually contaminated by proximity to dead bodies and therefore are prohibited from praying in the location of the temple and since we don't know for sure where the temple was on the mount, no Jew should pray there

for some prayers, e.g., portions of the passover service which were communal and where the offerings were done outside the temple, the above restriction does not apply, however, secular courts have prohibited it on other basis

this was the basis of the Chief Rabbi's 1967 ruling after the 6 day war

#1  the modern right-wing flank has called for Jews to build the Temple now and usher in the Messiah.

"Forget the wall, goddammit ! Build the Temple !!"
