The sport of parkour is making its way around the world. According to Wikipedia, parkour is “a training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training. Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation. Parkour’s development from military training gives it some aspects of a non-combative martial art”.
For young Muslims, Har Habayis is an excellent setting for practicing parkour R”L, as is reported by Walla and seen in the Walla News video.

Heaven forbid though – from their prospective – if a Yid came to be מתפלל there! Oh how the Jew would be defiling the sanctity of their garbage silo!
Thankfully it’s אסור להלכה. This is our גלות.
Very good line #1
the letters are nearly identical – שועלים = ישמאעל
Why can’t they exercise there?. I don’t see them inside the masq.
ומקום מטקר קטורת
והדביר והכפורת
אשר ישרתו בם שרת
שמוהו מעבורת.
תדבק בם ממארת
כמו כבד ליותרת!
