After police canceled the monthly walk around the Gates of the Old City of Yerushalayim, a monthly event recalling the ancient minhag, activists decided to walk around the gates of Har Habayis, under the watchful eyes of Israel Police Yassam commandos.

With all the tensions around har habayis, having this bunch of kipot sigurot doing some kind of circle dance while doing the most off-key version of some nigun is a needless distraction and diverts scarce resources from protecting the tzibur. At some point, participants in these mindless symbolic “demonstrations” should be made aware of what they are doing and there should be consequences for their putting others at risk.
It’s Karet for a Jew to go in the Temple Mount and aren’t the police really Arabs?
Just to be clear they are not “activists” just regular kids most. Them live in yerushlaim some live in shomron or the gush, having walked around myself plenty of time with these people rosh chodesh i can attest there’s nothing wrong with what they’re doing, walking around the gates of the old city is not provocative nor disturbs anyone (executive for the haters everything anyone with a “srugy” does is provocative), before you have an opinion see the facts and if you haven’t seen it nor spoke to these yidden stop bashing because ur talking non sense.
