 Special Section:
Is the Temple Mount Still Ours?
By Mordecai Rabinovitch
It is well known that as a consequence of the Six Day War, sovereignty over the Temple Mount was restored to the Jewish people. It is also well known that almost immediately, the State of Israel went to great lengths to reassure the Moslem world of its peaceful intentions; not only was the Moslem waqf given de facto control of the Mount, but for all practical purposes Jewish entry and worship on the Temple Mount was prevented. Indeed, the latter prohibition was bolstered by rabbinic rulings declaring it forbidden by Jewish law to enter the entire Temple Mount compound.
