Get An Uplift. Ascend to the Temple Mount

Can't read?

Try this summary:

At the same hour, however, an alternative Hakhel ritual will be held in nearby Tekuma Park, at a point that overlooks the Temple Mount. That ceremony, which is expected to attract members of the Temple Mount movements and the broader religious Zionist public, will take place under the auspices of the Company for the Reconstruction and Development of the Jewish Quarter. It will retain more of the characteristics of the original Hakhel: Trumpets will be sounded, and there will be a replication of the water-pouring ceremony that was performed in the Temple. In addition, objects prepared by the Temple Institute over the last year will be on display, including a golden miter and priestly garb. This ceremony will feature non-Haredi rabbis such as Adin Steinsaltz, Yuval Cherlow and Eliezer Waldman.

Wednesday, October 15th.

Temple Mount open for visits during 7:15 - 10 AM and 12:30 - 13:30 PM
