Two Arrested for Temple Mount Prayers

Two people were arrested by Israeli police on Monday morning for praying on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, according to TPS reports.

The first man arrested was a Rabbi from Beit Shemesh who said the "Aleinu L'Shabeach" prayer, one of the oldest prayers in Judaism.

He has since been released and a court hearing has been scheduled for him.

The second person arrested said a "Mishaberach l'Cholim" (Prayer for the sick).

He's currently still in custody.

Both are being assisted by lawyers from Honeinu.
