Jews Arrested for Blowing Shofar Outside Temple Mount

Expressions of Jewish faith still prohibited at Judaism’s holiest site as we approach the biblical festivals.

Three Jewish men were detained by the Jerusalem Police for questioning on Sunday after they blew a shofar outside the Temple Mount, reported TPS.

They are being accused of “provocations” and disturbing the peace.

The three “offenders” were identified as:

  • Former Member of Knesset Yehudah Glick
  • Tom Nisani, head of the Beyadenu (“In Our Hands”)
  • Emanuel Brosh, also a leader of Beyadenu

All three men are activists for a return of Jewish prayer to the Temple Mount, and the eventual rebuilding of the biblical Temple.

The present status quo bars Jews from expressions of faith and religion at the Temple Mount, despite it being Judaism’s holiest site.
