Last week, the Jordanian ambassador decided spontaneously advance notice to go up to the Temple Mount with his entire team, as well as a delegation of diplomats from the European Union without any hindrance. Everything went in good spirit, and without interruption.
On the other hand, after the ascension of the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir and his statement :
"Jews are also allowed to be on the Temple Mount", even a Jew who goes up to pray on the Mount can be detained by the police. As mentioned, the Temple Mount is an inseparable part of the Jewish people, it is the holiest place for them, the place where the First and Second Temples were built and in the future the Third Temple will be built , a place of prayer for Jews and all Nations.
When will the right of Jews to pray on the Temple Mount become self-evident and legitimate in the eyes of the entire world and will be held in a good spirit and without hindrance?

In 2022, 48,230 Israeli Jews and 289,604 tourists ascended the Temple Mount.
What about you?

“You have turned my lament into dancing for me “(Psalms 30:12)
During this month, we read about the plagues of Egypt,and how the children of Israel were eventually be freed from the slavery of Egypt.
If God strengthened Pharaoh's heart, for what purpose was Moses sent to convince to let the Jews go?
The commentators explain that God is teaching us an important principle: that when everything is difficult and hopeless, it is so that we discover the deepest powers in our souls.
When a person breaks his own record, he uses the hidden and special powers inherent in his personality and discovers even more the power of his faith.
One should tell oneself that this is the place where I sow the seeds that will lead to my growth as high as possible "because man is like a tree of the field":
The roots anchored deep in the earth hint at our strength of faith, the trunk and the branches from the tree remind us of our physical and mental abilities, and our most beautiful fruits are our good deeds and especially our wonderful children!
The trees draw their strength from the earth. In Hebrew the word "earth", is from the verb "to run" and also from the word "desire".
The trees rise towards the sky, they show us the direction ,like never getting scattered but always moving in the higher and right direction.

(Rabbi Yoan Yossef Akrish and Rebbetzin Lea Benacom speak Torah)

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth
(psalms chapter 145,18)
