Many readers noted that a sentence in yesterday\'s report was misleading or wrong. We reported, \"Jews have not been allowed to pray there [on the Temple Mount] for the past 20 months.\" It should be made clear that Jews have not been allowed to pray on the Mount almost since the day it was liberated during the Six-Day War. They have not been allowed to *enter* the holy site since the Oslo War began 20 months ago. As Arutz-7 has often noted, traditional Jewish Law allows Jews to enter the site under certain conditions; Kiryat Arba Chief Rabbi Dov Lior explained that there are areas that are definitely permitted for entry, \"provided one knows what they are and has immersed in a mikveh.\" Rabbi Ratzon Arusi, however, a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council, told Arutz-7 that the Chief Rabbinate should be the supervisory body over the Temple Mount, and until such time, no one should ascend to the Mount on his own.
