Activists dedicated to bringing Jews to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem are expecting hundreds of people to participate in a planned mass pilgrimage to the mount scheduled for Thursday morning in honor of Rosh Chodesh Tevet and the Chanukah festival. Chanukah celebrates the liberation of the Temple Mount and rededication of the Holy Temple after it had been occupied and defiled by the Syrian-Greek Empire in ancient times. The pilgrimage will include special guided tours of the mount throughout the morning.
