sushe- true, the Perushim are a non-Hasidic Yerushalmi group (descendents of the talmidim of the Gaon of Vilna), however not all Yerushalmim are Perushim. Many are in fact Hasidim including Toldos Aharon and Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok.

If you read carefully what Rav Elyashav was reported as saying,then the whole debate discussed above of whether or not it’s Halachically permitted to enter Har Ha’Bayis is irrelevant.He clearly sressed that beyond the Halachic issues involved,that it is extremely provocative and liable to cause religous war and bloodshed.The group that ascended Har Ha’Bayis recently acted in a totally irresponsible manner with complete disregard to Jewish lives.It’s quite possible that they have the din of “Rodef” with all the significance of the term.

I don’t know what you people are talking about! The Mishnah Berurah (???? ?”? ???? ??? ?)states explicitly that the knee is part of the upper section of the leg,which according to all opinions is certainly considered “Shok” and therefore must be completely covered by a skirt or a dress.All the different opinions mentioned in the Halachic literature are in regard to the question of whether the area of the leg from the foot till the knee (but not including the knee itself!)[calf]is considered “Shok” as well,or is “Shok” just the upper part of the leg from the hip until below the knee.All this has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the issue of covering the knee itself.
