Almost a year since an assassination attempt which left him fighting for life, veteran Temple Mount rights campaigner Yehuda Glick is holding a special, public thanksgiving ceremony to mark his remarkable recovery, and to thank those who supported him over the past year.
Glick, who is Chairman of Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, was shot four times at point-blank range by an Islamic Jihad terrorist outside the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem on October 29, 2014.
Just moments earlier he had given an impassioned speech in support of Jewish prayers rights on the Temple Mount. Despite being Judaism's holiest site, Jews and other non-Muslims are prevented from praying there due to pressure and threats of violence from Muslim groups.
Despite his grave injuries, Yehuda Glick survived the shooting, and has since gradually returned to his work struggling for Jewish rights on the Temple Mount.
