Dozens of worshippers circled the walls of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City Monday night as part of the eight-year-old tradition of going once around the gates. They danced and prayed, including the recitation of psalms as a way of promoting awareness for the Temple Mount and yearning for the building of the Third Temple.
One of the activists told Arutz Sheva, "We remind ourselves, the people of Israel, and maybe even the Holy One, Blessed be He, that the real place is inside. We embrace it from the outside, pray opposite the gates with lots of joy and hope that on Chanukah [starting on the 25 of Kislev -ed.], in addition to Chanukah lamps, we'll merit to light the pure candelabra in the courts of Your Temple."
