  • Outlawed Visitors on Al-Haram Al-Sharif: Jews on the Temple Mount During the Ottoman and British Rule of Jerusalem, 1517–1967
    285 Outlawed Visitors on al-Haram al-Sharif: Jews on the Temple Mount during the Ottoman and British rule of Jerusalem, 1517–1967 By: F. M. LOEWENBERG* “The 144-dunam al-Aqsa Mosque/al-Haram al-Sharif is a place of wor- ship and prayer for Muslims only,” according to Zaid Lozi, Secretary- General of the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.1 This statement that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is exclusively a Muslim holy site is not new, but merely repeats what has been a basic position of the Arab world for many centuries. Because of this belief non-Muslims were pro- hibited for centuries from going up on the Temple Mount. It is widely believed that no Jew ascended the Temple Mount in the 450 years prior to the Israel army’s capture of East Jerusalem in 1967.2 While there are many reports of Jewish activities on the Temple Mount in the millennium prior to the Ottoman conquest of Jerusalem in ,1517 3 after that date the ascent of Jews and all other non-Muslims was strictly prohibited. An unsubstantiated folktale has it that the Western Wall was awarded to the Jews as a place of Jewish prayer in compensation for any rights they previously had on the Temple Mount. Actually, the prohibition of Jews from going up to the Temple Mount was in effect already prior to the Ottoman conquest. Rabbi Oba- * I want to thank Rav Elisha Wolfson who in his recent book Har Habayit k- halakhah (Jerusalem: Divrei Shir, 2018) drew my attention to several rabbis who went up on the Temple Mount in the 1920s.

  • Religious Zionism: Tzvi Yehuda Kook on Redemption and the State Raina Weinstein Wednesday, Aug
    Religious Zionism: Tzvi Yehuda Kook on Redemption and the State Raina Weinstein Wednesday, Aug. 18 at 11:00 AM EDT Course Description: In May 1967, Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook delivered a fiery address criticizing the modern state of Israel for what he viewed as its founding sin: accepting the Partition Plan and dividing the Land of Israel. “Where is our Hebron?” he cried out. “Where is our Shechem, our Jericho… Have we the right to give up even one grain of the Land of God?” Just three weeks later, the Six Day War broke out, and the Israeli army conquered the biblical heartlands that Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda had mourned—in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, and Golan Heights. Hebron, Shechem, and Jericho were returned to Jewish sovereignty. In the aftermath of the war, Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda’s words seemed almost prophetic. His spiritual vision laid the foundation for a new generation of religious Zionism and the modern settler movement, and his ideology continues to have profound implications for contemporary Israeli politics. In this session, we will explore Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook’s 1967 speech, his teachings, and his critics— particularly Rabbi Yehuda Amital. Guiding Questions: 1. How does Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook interpret the quotation from Psalm 107: "They have seen the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep"? Why do you think he begins this speech with this scripture? 2. In the section, "They Have Divided My Land," Rav Tzvi Yehuda Kook tells two stories about responses to partition. Based on these stories, what do you think is his attitude toward diplomacy and politics is? 1 of 13 tikvahonlineacademy.org/ 3.

  • Israel 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    ISRAEL 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary This section covers Israel, including Jerusalem. In December 2017, the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It is the position of the United States that the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem are subject to final status negotiations between the parties. The Palestinian Authority (PA) exercises no authority over Jerusalem. In March 2019, the United States recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. A report on the West Bank and Gaza, including areas subject to the jurisdiction of the PA, is appended at the end of this report. The country’s laws and Supreme Court rulings protect the freedoms of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation, and the 1992 “Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty” protects additional individual rights. In 2018, the Knesset passed the “Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People.” According to the government, that “law determines, among other things, that the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” The government continued to allow controlled access to religious sites, including the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif (the site containing the foundation of the first and second Jewish temple and the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque).

  • Connecting to Israel As a Reform Jew” Yom Kippur Morning Sermon Rabbi Jordan M
    “Connecting to Israel as a Reform Jew” Yom Kippur Morning Sermon Rabbi Jordan M. Ottenstein, RJE Congregation Dor Tamid, Johns Creek, Georgia September 30, 2017/10 Tishrei 5778 A few weeks ago, the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta hosted a breakfast meeting with local rabbis and a number of members of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, at the Temple downtown. It was a great opportunity for my colleagues and me to hear from representatives of the Israeli government and the opposition parties as they expressed their hopes and aspirations for mutual cooperation and understanding between Israel and the American Jewish community. This meeting was also an opportunity for these high-ranking Israeli official to hear our concerns, our issues, and our anxieties about the current state of affairs in the Jewish state. We all went into the meeting with a sense of encouragement, eager to listen to each other, share with each other, and build a relationship based on a mutual desire to strengthen our bonds to each other. And yet, it was not surprising to me that I walked out of the meeting upset and with a feeling that I, along with my other colleagues, had not be heard. As many of you know, there are currently a number of issues in Israel that are affecting the relationship between the State of Israel, specifically its government, and the non-Orthodox Jewish community in the diaspora. First and foremost of these issues centers around the kotel, the Western Wall. While not always the case, the kotel is currently administered by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, led by Rabbi Schmuel Rabinowitz.

  • Bab Ii Dinamika Organisasi Kerjasama Islam (Oki)
    BAB II DINAMIKA ORGANISASI KERJASAMA ISLAM (OKI) OKI merupakan organisasi internasional terbesar ke dua setelah Persatuan Bangsa-Bangsa. Organisasi ini menjadi kekuatan besar yang mewakili Dunia Islam dalam percaturan politik global. Dengan banyaknya badan-badan struktural yang menopang laju kerja OKI, organisasi ini terus mengembangkan skala kerjanya menjadi lebih komprehensif pada banyak bidang yang menyangkut kemajuan umat muslim. Sejak berdirinya hingga berpuluh-puluh tahun eksis, OKI jelas menampakkan banyak kemajuan yang pesat, ditandai dengan dibangunnya banyak badan-badan OKI yang lebih sistematis dan beranekaragam serta kemajuan negara- negara anggotanya secara individu. Meski tidak dapat dipungkiri, hadirnya tantangan- tantangan eksternal maupun internal telah menambah pekerjaan rumah para pembuat kebijakan di tubuh OKI serta merongrong aktivitas OKI yang ingin terus survivedalam pentas politik internasional. A. Sejarah Singkat Pembentukan OKI OKI didirikan berdasarkan keputusan pada konferensi bersejarah di Rabat, Maroko, pada 12 Rajab 1389 H (25 September 1969) sebagai reaksi keras yang dipicu oleh pembakaran masjid Al-Aqsha yang terletak di kota Quds, Yerussalem.1 Konferensi ini merupakan titik awal pembentukan OKI atas prakarsa Raja Faisal dari 1http://www.oic-un.org/, diakses tanggal 4 Maret 2015. Arab Saudi dan Raja Hasan dari Maroko, dengan Panitia Persiapan yang terdiri dari Iran, Malaysia, Niger, Pakistan, Somalia, Arab Saudi, dan Maroko. Konferensi Tingkat Tinggi Islam pertama tersebut berlangsung pada 22-25 September 1969.2 Secara runtut latar belakang terbentuknya OKI diawali sejak tahun 1964 pada Konferensi Tingkat Tinggi (KTT) Arab di Mogadishu. Pada KTT tersebut timbul suatu ide untuk menghimpun kekuatan Islam dalam suatu wadah internasional.3 Selanjutnya pada tahun 1965, diselenggarakan Sidang Liga Arab sedunia di Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, yang mencetuskan ide untuk menjadikan umat Islam sebagai suatu kekuatan yang menonjol dan untuk menggalang solidaritas Islamiyah dalam usaha melindungi umat Islam dari zionisme khususnya.

  • Why Did the Pasha Give the Keys of Jerusalem to the Chief Rabbi? an Exploration of the 19Th-Century History of Jerusalem’S City-Wide Eruv
    119 Why did the pasha give the keys of Jerusalem to the Chief Rabbi? An Exploration of the 19th-century History of Jerusalem’s City-wide Eruv By: MEIR LOEWENBERG Abdul Aziz I became the 32nd sultan of the Ottoman Empire on Tuesday, June 25, 1861, on the very same day that the previous sultan, his brother Abdul Mejid I, died. In an era without telegraph, telephone or internet, the news of these events that occurred in Constantinople traveled slowly and reached New York, as well as Jerusalem, only in the first week of July. On July 4, 1861, the New York Times published a report with the head- line “Rumored death of the Sultan.” Three days later, on July 7, 1861, it reported: “The Sultan of Turkey died on the 25th of June, and was suc- ceeded by his brother Abdul Aziz Khan.” Readers of the New York Times may have overlooked these small reports on an inside page of the news- paper since they were much more interested in the momentous events that were taking place closer to home. Four months earlier, on March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln had been inaugurated as the new president of a country that was deeply divided on the question of slavery. In his inaugu- ral address he stated that he hoped to resolve the national crisis without resorting to warfare. Toward this end he said that he had no plans to end slavery in those states where it already existed. Yet at the same time he emphasized that he could not accept secession as a solution.
