For the first time since Jewish worship returned to the Temple Mount, an Israeli court approved<\/a> the act and provided it with unprecedented legal standing.<\/p>\n

Justice Bilha Yahalom of Jerusalem\u2019s Magistrate Court,\u00a0 accepted on Wednesday an appeal by Temple Mount activist Rabbi Aryeh Lippo against the police ban on prayer that he witnessed during his visits to the holy site.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis daily Temple Mount attendance shows that this is a matter of principle and meaning for him,\u201d Judge Yahalom noted in her ruling.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, the court viewed a video documenting Jewish people praying on the Temple Mount. The court ruled that silently praying on the holy site is not a violation of police guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prosecutor doesn\u2019t dispute that the appellant, like many others, prays on a daily basis on the Temple Mount, and this activity in and of itself is not a\u00a0 violation of police instructions,\u201d Judge Yahalom wrote.<\/p>\n

Temple Mount organizations ad activists welcomed the ruling as it recognizes and green-lights \u201cthe positive process that is going on the Temple Mount.\u201d<\/p>\n

Activist Arnon Segal called it a \u201cbeautiful victory\u201d while blasting the police for harassing Rabbi Lippo for no reason.<\/p>\n

Shai Glick, CEO of the B\u2019Tsalmo rights organization hailed the decision tweeting: \u201cThis is the first time we can say the words \u2018the Temple Mount is in our hands.\u2019 We are talking about a historic day for the Nation of Israel in its entirety.\u201d<\/p>\n
