Temple Mount View (with Muezzein Call in Background)

Yesterday, I walked thought the Old City and here is a video of a Temple Mount view I filmed and you can hear, if you listen carefully, the muezzein's call (especially at 55 secs.), followed by a few pictures:




The being rebuilt Tiferet Yisrael Beit Yaakov - Churva Synagogue:




Off to the south-east over the ramparts with the security wall at the top of a hill:



and the Temple Mount washed by morning rain (taken by Ella Koblentz):

Beautiful photos, BUT, unless someone has decided to include the name "Tiferet Yisrael" in the name of the "new" (old) synagogue, the name is actually Beit Ya'acov - I hope we don't call it "hurva" since there have already been 3 Ashkenazi synagogues in or near that spot (1700, 1836/37 & 1864 (the last dedicated as Beit Ya'acov), all ruined (the last blown up by the Jordanians in 1948 - it's that design that is being built on the site)!.

Meanwhile, the ruin of the Tiferet Yisrael (also blown up by the Jordanians in 1948) synagogue is a bit further down, ah, Tiferet Yisrael Street - just up above all the food there!

Just thought you'd want to know!
