Next Tuesday is International Temple Mount Awareness Day. Drawing attention to the fact that only Moslems are allowed to pray on the Mount is crucial. The Temple is to be a house of prayer for all people, not some people.
March 16th is Nissan 1, the anniversary of the dedication of the Tabernacle in the wilderness, the first day of the Divine service by the Levitical/Aaronic priesthood, and the first time the Divine Presence (the Glory, the Shekinah) rested in the Tabernacle.
The Temple Institute in Jerusalem is calling on everyone, Jew and gentile alike, to ascend the Temple Mount, in accordance with halachot, on that day in order that the God of Israel would know that his people mean business with getting the Temple rebuilt. For additional information for the aliyah to the Temp le Mount, please see the excellent info at: www.templeinstitute.org .
If you are concerned that Jews, Christians and anyone else who wants to go to the Temple Mount be allowed to, please let your concerns be known directly to the Prime Minister’s office:
Telephone number: 011-972-02-6705555
Fax number: 011-972-02-5664838
email address: bnetanyahu@knesset.gov.il
Please raise your voice! You do want to be on record as favoring access for all people to the House of Prayer!
Couldn’t sleep. Thought of your blogspot. Hadn’t visited for a while. What a blessing, Ruch! I read everything. I host a small Shabbat Torah study and will forward your blog to my fellow students, asking them to read your entries about sacrifices before we start Leviticus next week.
I’m off to email PM Netanyahu!
Todah,
