Records show that record numbers of Jews were allowed to ascend Har HaBayit (Temple Mount) two days ago, on Tisha B’Av. The numbers show that Islamic terrorism continues to accomplish the exact opposite of its intent. More Jews wanted to go up to the world’s holiest site but were prevented by strict anti-Jewish and anti-Christian rules created by the Islamic Wafk (Islamic Trust). The people continue the important struggle to free the Temple Mount and all of Jerusalem from the hatred and extremism of the Islamic Wakf. The Jewish people continue to be drawn back to its roots, to the place where it all began! Jerusalem is the heart of Israel and the Temple Mount is the heart of the holy city. It is the place where Jewish tradition holds that the world was created from; where Abraham was prepared to sacrifice everything for Hashem; the place where Isaac and Jacob spread the love of Hashem to the future Israelites. It is the location of both Holy Temples that stood for a total of 830 years — beginning approximately 1,433 years before Islam was even created. The national importance of Jerusalem and its holy sites continues to grow despite any efforts by terrorists and anti-semites to quash it. Israel is a nation that thrives on building, growth, peace and justice. We will never allow evil, darkness and hatred to flourish, especially in our unified, eternal capital!

Record Number of Jews Ascend Temple Mount on Tisha B’Av
More than 1,000 Jews ascended the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem on Tuesday during the fast of Tisha B’Av, to commemorate the destruction of the Jewish temples that once existed at the holy site.
The Yeraeh organization, which encourages Jewish visitation and prayer rights at the Temple Mount, stated that 1,043 Jews visited the holy site from 7:30-11 a.m. local time on Tuesday, a record for Jewish visits to the site in a single day.
Jewish visitors were obligated go through metal detectors and to leave their ID cards with police before ascending the Temple Mount through the Mughrabi Gate — the only gate to the holy site that non-Muslims are permitted to enter.
Six people were removed from the Temple Mount for violating rules imposed on non-Muslim visitors, while four people were arrested when fighting broke out between three Jewish visitors and a Muslim man while one of the Jewish groups exited the Temple Mount through the Chain Gate.
