On the morning of the fast of Tish'a b'Av commemorating the destruction of the Holy Temple built by King Solomon at the hands of the Babylonians, and the later destruction of the Holy Temple rebuilt by the returning exiles from Babylon, and later refurbished by King Herod, at the hand of the Romans, over one hundred fasting Jews went up to the Temple Mount. On this day, atop the Mount which at this early hour was almost entirely unpeopled other than the Jewish worshippers, amidst the Moslem edifices and continuing construction/destruction, (see pictures), we reflected not only on the past, but could see the future before our very eyes, more palpable than ever.
