More Jews are visiting the Temple Mount now than in previous years, despite growing tensions due to the war against Hamas, according to Beyadenu. This Jewish year saw 15,600 Jews make the trip, while the Jewish year 5783 saw 15,170 and the previous year only 13,170.
Beyandenu is an Israeli non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about the Temple Mount and its heritage in Jewish Communities worldwide. The organization helps facilitate access to the Temple Mount.
Beyandenu said that they “anticipated fewer people to bravely answer the call to ascend to the site, due to fear of increased attacks against Jews, reservists called up to fight in the war, and the decrease in tourism.
“But the people of Israel will not be cowed by terrorism. Now, more than ever, Jews are rallying to the Temple Mount to ascend, to pray, and to stand strong for their heritage and country in the place where it matters the most. We expect nothing less from the heroes that understand the importance of the Temple Mount being in Jewish hands, especially now.”
