The Israeli Supreme Court has rejected a petition requesting that Jews be enabled to offer the Passover Sacrifice this coming Monday, the eve of the holiday.
The Court ruled that because of feared Arab violence, such an act could not be permitted.
Rabbi Yehuda Glick, head of the Organization for Human Rights on the Temple Mount, responded with sorrow: “The Land of Israel is acquired through pain – sadly, much pain.”
Yosef Rabin, Liaison to North American Communities on behalf of the Organization for Renewal of the Temple, took a harsher tone: “The heart of every Jew should shudder at this ruling, which is reminiscent of the decree of the evil king of Israel, Yeravam ben Nevat, who also did not allow the Jewish People to ascend and worship on the Mount.”

We the undersigned call for the Jewish people to be able to ascend the Temple Mount to build a temporary altar, which would be dismantled immediately following the Pesach offering, so that they can fulfill the commandment of a Pesach offering on the 14th day of the first month (see Vayikra/Leviticus chapter 23 and Shemot/Exodus chapter 12). This denial of their rights to worship on the Temple Mount saddens us greatly.
We urge you to reconsider your ruling. If anyone is deserving of sympathy, support and maximum compassion, it is the Jewish people who have been kicked around by the nations. The Jewish people should have no fear of what man can "do to them" - our Creator gave His chosen nation commandments and it is Him alone that we should fear.
We therefore urge that you reconsider your ruling and give permission for the Jews to be able to fulfil this commandment of a Pesach offering.
