A Synagogue on Har Habayit in the 7th Century: Dream or Historical Fact?
Abstract
Did the Muslim rulers of Jerusalem in the first centuries after the Arab conquest of the city permit Jews to pray in a synagogue on the Temple Mount? Or is this merely a legend that reflects the dreams of some contemporary Jews who are eager to establish a synagogue on the most sacred Jewish site? Readers of this journal are well aware of the long-standing relation between Har Habayit/Temple Mount and the Jewish people. This was the site of both the first nd the Second Temple. And this mountain has been the focus of the daily prayers of Jews during the past two millenniums.
