Yehudah Glick, who is an American born Israeli and heads the Shalom Jerusalem Foundation, is another voice that has been calling for prayer on the Temple Mount. Glick is a controversial figure who is loved by some and despised by others. He is a strong advocate for building the Third Temple on the Temple Mount. He survived an assassination attempt in 2014 and later became a member of the Israeli Knesset. This year he approached the Jerusalem police to allow the Shofar (trumpet) to be blown on Zion. His argument for the redemption of Mount Zion was based on the Prophet Joel (2:1-32). However, his request was denied because the Israeli political body was not agreeable to such actions. Glick also provides an account of a person who attempted to blow the trumpet on the Temple Mount this week but was arrested by police.
