such hypocrisy. the chief rabbinate is kodosh vitahor and it’s a choiv gamur to listen to them when it works for the tzionim, but when their opinion doesnt shtim with what the right wing activists want, it’s all of a sudden ok to look elsewhere for a psak.

I feel obliged to caution Jews not to go on Har Habayis. I ventured there once 40 years ago, without paying attention to the prohibition, and walked into the Dome of Rock, and I regret it deeply. A Jewish person has no need to go there. We experience Kedusha, by NOT going there these days, just as the Kedusha of Shabbat or any other type can only be experienced by adhering to restrictions. Even if you plan to be very careful, the best course is to avoid the risk of an extremely serious transgression. I know of no other way to do Teshuva for having tredded there than simply to discourage others from doing the same.

to #1 and #2: when i was a yeshiva bochur i believed that my rosh yeshiva was a greater gadol than all the other rabbonim combined and that my rosh yeshiva was a gadol while others were not and that my rosh yeshiva had a unique connection with what hashem wants from us and all the others were lesser rabbonim. then i grew up.

They should put a sign saying one who enters various parts of Har Habayis is Chayiv Misa.

Also, now that I think about it, the issur for yidden is to go to certain parts of har habayis, and we don’t know where they are. It’s not technically ossur to go to har habayis per se.

Why does it say “lechol adam”? Min hatorah, a goy can go anywhere he wants.

And there are those that say that you can drive a car on Shabbos to go shopping. Let’s put up a sign.
