The third day of the return of the Palestinians to the Temple Mount was much more peaceful. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor
Liberman stated today, July 29, 2017 that he thinks the crisis surrounding
the Temple Mount is almost over.
In the Hebrew calendar, today is
the 6th of Av. In three days, the תשעה
באב (Tisha B`Av or 9th of Av) is
observed with fasting, morning, and prayer. On this day in Hebrew
history, several historical events are remembered, most notably the destruction
of the First Jewish Temple by the Babylonians, and the Second Jewish Temple by
the Romans. Last year nearly 400 Jewish observers visited the Temple
Mount during the Tisha B`Av. This year the numbers might well increase in
large part to the recent events surrounding the mount and because a number of
rabbis are calling for more Jewish visitors to the site.
