Who are the Israelis?

The struggle of Ya'akov to become Yisrael


Managing some very complicated family dynamics forced him to grow in such a way that helped him become more like 'Esav.

In order to become Israel, Ya'akov (Jacob) had to first incorporate into himself many of his brother's characteristics. His years in Aram working for Lavan (Laban) and managing some very complicated family dynamics forced him to grow in such a way that helped him become more like 'Esav (Esau).

Temple Mount Yeshivah - The wording of blessings in the Temple with Minhah Prayer




The first discussion of the Temple Mount rabbis was held today (Tuesday) on the Temple Mount. The rabbis of the Temple Mount will gather every month for an in-depth halakhic discussion to be held on the Temple Mount, about the laws of the Temple Mount that have been renewed in recent years, with the increase in purity increasing and daily morning and midday prayers.

The halakhic discussion dealt with the wording of the blessings on the Temple Mount and in which dozens of rabbis participated, including: Rabbi Israel Ariel, head of the Temple Institute, head of the Temple Mount Yeshiva, Rabbi Eliyahu Weber, Rabbi Elisha Wolfson, head of the Temple Mount, Rabbi Shmuel Moreno, Rabbi Yitzchak Brand, Rabbi Aryeh Jaffa And more.

The question that was at the center of the discussion is which blessings should be signed with the special signature he sanctifies:"Blessed are You HaShem the God of Israel from the world to eternity" and to what blessings are answered "Blessed be the glory of his kingdom forever and ever."

Rabbi Eliyahu Weber, Rosh Yeshiva of the Temple Mount, said: "It is a great joy that sages' students sit on the Temple Mount itself and discuss the laws of the Temple Mount. We are happy to begin with the discussion of prayer that the students of the wise have not discussed so far. "

The initiator of the Rabbis of the Temple Mount project, Rabbi Roi Zaga, summed up the essence of the change in the wording of the prayer in the Temple: "In the Temple we stand before HaShem, feeling that not only we believe in HaShem answering 'Amen', therefore we declare with a loud voice: "His kingdom forever and ever", he explained. "In addition, in the Temple every day is a Yom Kippur, and therefore the signing of the blessings is not only an address to God in the present language, but in a hidden language: Blessed be the God of Israel from the world and to the world."

Knesset Education Committee in Historic Statement:

Israeli Schoolchildren Must Visit Temple Mount


Responding to aggressive lobbying by the Beyadenu movement (Dani Dayan’s Daughter Sings Hatikvah Quietly on Temple Mount), the Knesset Education Committee on Tuesday debated the place of the Temple Mount in the country’s education system.

Coalition and opposition MKs alike agreed that the Israeli education system is failing to convey information about the Temple Mount to students.




Committee Chairwoman MK Sharren Haskel (New Hope) said that the education system does not mention the existence of the Temple Mount in a national and religious context, despite being one of the most important places for the Jewish People. She added: “This is not a political issue and therefore support should be given to teaching about the importance of the Temple Mount among Israeli students.”

MK Emily Moati (Labor) also said the Temple Mount is not a matter of right and left.
We must teach our national history, and it includes the Temple Mount.
