For the first time in many years, a large gathering of Jews were able to pray, sing and say blessings while on the Temple Mount, unhindered by nearby police. The contingent of Jewish worshipers was led by Knesset members Michael Ben Ari and Uri Ariel, as well as Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, founder of the Temple Institute, and other prominent rabbis and public figures.
Rabbi Ariel, who was among the Israeli paratroopers who liberated the Temple Mount in the Six Day War, can be heard saying, “I have waited forty five years to be able to say the shehechianu, (blessing of thanks), here on the Temple Mount.”
In addition to prayer, song and blessings, a number of worshipers performed the commandment of hishtachavia (prostration), which applies to the Temple Mount.
The group was accompanied by journalists and cameramen representing Israel’s major news outlets. The worshipers exited the Mount in song. No violence or protest occurred.

One man, one voice, “We will do and we will obey!” The unity of the nation of Israel expressed upon receiving Torah at Mount Sinai, and reflected each year on Jerusalem Day, which precedes the festival of Shavuot by one week, is made possible through the twelve distinct flags of the twelve distinct tribes of Israel who made their encampment in the wilderness, around the Tabernacle – the heart of the nation. Through the unity of each individual soul of Israel, Torah is brought down from heaven and made manifest on earth – here in the land of Israel!

From the opening “And He called” of the book of Leviticus to the closing words of this week’s concluding reading, G-d has been direct, open and honest with Israel. He sets out His program for us and, in the end, it is up to us, and only up to us, to decide whether we are going to get on board, or not.
