I could have told you that !

Yes dude, but you don't reach the ankles of Rav Elyashiv - and never will. But don't worry - none of us do! The hareidi public are not the ones going up to the Temple Mount, it's the National Religious movement, who believe they know exactly which areas they are allowed to go on, and which are forbidden

B"H ah, bla, blabla, blablabla bal blaba. Blabla blahblabla blah blabla blabla. Blabla blabla.

This is the same mindset of the Jews in WWII that saw 6 MILLION of us die. The Temple Mount is Holy JEWISH land and this Rabbi cedes that land to rioting Muslims hoping that they will treat him well or because of something that MIGHT happen. The Rabbi needs to hide under his bed as he is afraid of everthing.

This is a holy site for them, too. Barring them from entering the site, or age limiting the entrance to it, is religious discrimination. This is what caused all this rage we are hearing about.

While I would never doubt the fervent beliefs of the Haredim, even their Rabbiem don't know everything. R. Elyashiv is giving a blanket prohibition not to go up there, but that doesnt mean the Dati Leumi are wrong about where one can go.

For the very concerns this Rabbi has it is the highest kiddush Hashem to ascend Har Habayit. It is a symptom of the Ghetto mentality left over from Auschwitz that leads to destructive messages such as this.

The Halachic Ban goes back to 1967 when Rav Ovadia ruled as such against Rav Goren.

If the Arabs, the UN or whoever keeps you from going, yes, that's religious discrimination. If the Torah says you should not go, that's no more religious discrimination than the fact that the Torah requires you to keep Shabbat, Kashrut, and Taharat Mishpacha, and puts no such requirement on non-Jews. Kol hakavod that you accept the Torah telling you the site is holy; how can you reject the same Torah when it tells you not to go up in a state of tumah, not to risk walking on the kadosh ha kadoshim, and not to disregard the rulings of the judges of our generation?

This is a Galut mentality!! There are plenty of places where it is halachically permissible to go to the Temple Mount!

Let them destroy the foundations of Hashem"s Home on top of Har Ha Bayit, Let them destroy our connection to the "Heart of Judaism"so no trace remains of "The Former Temples"We are waiting and listen ing intensely for our Rabbis, "Guide Lines when they tell us "This is the Limit" ! Resist the Goyim now." "The Messiah"has all the answers ,but his delay in coming should force the Rabbis as next in line with religious knowledge to make clear how we should interpret these awkward issues

Rav Elyashiv is the Posek Hador for Ashkenazim. What he said is the accepted halacha. You should show more respect for the Rav. He is a man of great Torah learning. You and I are like babies compared to him

he's 99 years old and his grandson has a great grandson - and he's still in charge

Har HaBayit is standing defiled by the filth of Ba'al. Is Israel to stand idly by and allow this to continue? How can Israel remove the filth without ascending the Mount? Stand Up Israel and take back the Heart of HaShem! The place where He has put His Name forever! You would ask me, do you want to start world war III? Did not HaShem command us to drive the enemy out of HaEretz? T'shuvah to Torah and ask ElShaddai! Shall we go up? Is there no prophet in Israel? Is there no one who can call on His Name?

You won't find a heart there in the absence of true peace.

hold the Galut mentality ;) Roy Galutia

Obadiah 1:15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done to(israel implied), it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.... it should be noted the bulk of palistinians are desendants of Esau ... a large part of Obadiah deals with the fate of Esau's decendants in the day of the Lord...

The Rambam in Hilchot Beit haBechirah chapter seven defines the positive commandment of mora hamikdash as visiting the Temple Mount, even in the time of the churban, with proper respect and in accordance to halacha, which he describes in detail. The Rambam himself visited the Mount on the 6th of Cheshvan, 4925, and wrote about it. http://www.templeinstitute.org/rambam.htm

this little fool called eliyashav is a full-blown traitor to the Torah and the Land of Israel - his ruling quoted here is 100% wrong - as was his "ruling" to take 290mm shekels from Sharon to help destroy Gush Katif - I would not give this man a crumb to eat if he came to my door starving - when he passes - it will be a great saving for the Jewish people - here are the facts Ynet won't report - Eliyashav's lazy followers have run out of money - Peres offered them money IF he would issue this idiotic ruling and calm down the Temple Mount from arab riots - surely there is special place in hell for both of these traitors whose rulings and decisions cause Jewish death, pain and suffering on immense scale - anyone who follows this "rav" is the bigger fool - Torah is cool and correct - this man desecrates Hashem whenever he needs more money - there is word for selling out your core morals for money - and the word is "prostitution" - I for one look forward to a world without him or anyone like him - "rabbis" like this turn 1000s away from Torah - and turn his followers into selfish, social-welfare cases who blackmail (via votes) secular Israelis to give them yeshiva money - wow is this rav and his derech and his followers a disgrace? and ynet loves this type of stuff - a rav ruling against clear halacha to gain favor from crazy Uncle Shimon (oslo cultist) and some money for his retarded and helpless followers - Hashem saved us from this "rav" and anyone like him...

Funny, he didn't listen to the Hareidi rabbis who told him that coming to Israel before the Messianic age is a sin ... so how come all of a sudden he listens to and wants to oush the position of Elyashiv? Could it be because it suits his (current) political purpose?
