The Temple Mount Salvage Operation
Over thousands of years the Jewish People has forged a relationship of faith, hope and longing with Mount Moriah. Through Avraham who bound his son on the Mount, King Solomon and the returning exiles from Babylon who built their Temples there, the Temple Mount has been engraved on the heart and memory of the Jewish People and the yearning for it even after the destruction of the Temple has not abated.
