Overcoming Assassination, False Charges, Rabbi Yehuda Glick Back on Temple Mount

Talk about Super Tuesday: Temple Mount advocate and tour guide Yehuda Glick on Tuesday morning finally ascended his (and our) most beloved mountain in the world, where only a few millennia ago an Iraqi Jewish immigrant bounded his boy on an altar, where King Solomon built a stunning edifice where God's emanation continues to reside to this day, and where a vociferous assembly of recent arrivals, mostly migrant workers from around the Middle East, has been claiming ownership, with the full cooperation of the Netanyahu government and its police.

But never mind all that, Rabbi Glick himself summed his feelings in a short post on his Facebook page: "One year, four months and a few days ago, after an assassination attempt against me, while I was still in a life-threatening, critical condition, [my wife] Yafi said in an interview (which became the [Yedioth] magazine's front page) 'Yehuda and I Shall Ascend the Temple Mount Again.' Today, with a heart filled with gratitude, we fulfilled it."

Last week, a Jerusalem court acquitted Rabbi Yehudah Glick of assault charges and removed the ban against his going to the Temple Mount, where he works as tour guide. The prosecution that indicted him for pushing a Muslim woman on the ground at the Temple Mount, breaking her hand, pulled the same indictment when the court refused to believe the woman's outlandish lies.
