The Temple Mount Today: From Rambam to Riots

843 years ago the Rambam, (Maimonides) ascended the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where he offered up prayer to the Creator of the Universe. Today, the mere mention of Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount causes the Moslems clerics to incite their followers to violence, igniting the Temple Mount.

Ascending the Temple Mount and showing reverence to to G-d in the place of His Holy Temple, is a positive commandment expressed in the Torah. Known in Hebrew as "mora haMikdash" this commandment is as applicable today as was in the Rambam's day.

No amount of violence and naysaying can sever the eternal bond between the nation of Israel and the place G-d chose for His Holy House. Two thousand years of unbroken tradition have preserved the precise knowledge of the location of the Holy Temple, and the adjacent areas permissible to enter.

The Rambam possessed this knowledge. So do we.

Only one way exists today to preserve and strengthen our bond to the place of the Holy Temple: to ascend and to pray, as the Rambam did. Doing so will not create turmoil, but tranquility; not war, but peace.

I pray each day that the truth will be shown to the world and that Israel finds peace again

May Hashem bless Jerusalem with peace, and his people Yisrael with the right to the land He gave them.

Everyone is right. In their own mind and heart.

“Those who are incapable of attaining to supreme religious values include the black coloured people and those who resemble them in their climates. Their nature is like the mute animals. Their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey.” - Maimonides, Guide To The Perplexed (Translation from the Hebrew Version)

Talmudic Judaism = Racism.

[BoudiccaBlanc]

Your will be done, Lord!

Amen!

Hallelujah!

[dmokhtar]

I must correct you regarding the mitzvah of "morah mikdash". The mitzvah is not related to any concept of going onto the temple mount, only that when one is on the temple mount one must keep to various respectful modes of behavior. There is no mitzva that I know of to ascend the temple mount nowadays.. - Daniel Mokhtar

@IzabellasHope

you can tell me why many people said the great temple, instead of great sinagoge?¿

[isaac72901]

we can call great sinagoge, instead or temple ?¿

[AbuAvital]

May we all merit to see the rebuilt Temple and worship HaShem from there.

[joelubbock]

I pray that day will come.

[Tomdabombb91]

More jews have to go on the temple mount.
