Israeli police arrested a Jewish man on his way to sacrifice a lamb on the Temple Mount on Sunday morning.
Yair Hanoch, an activist from the Beyadenu--Returning to the Temple Mount organization, was detained at a light rail station near Jerusalem's Old City.
Beyadenu--Returning to the Temple Mount is a small group seeking to renew animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount, where the First and Second Temples stood.
"There is no more room for Muslim rule on the Temple Mount: The time has come to build a Jewish temple and renew the sacrificial rites," the organization said after Hanoch's arrest.
Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the chief rabbi of the Western Wall and the holy places, in April banned the bringing of animals to the Temple Mount to prevent Jews from trying to bring Passover sacrifices on the holy site. At the time, Returning to the Mount leader Rafael Morris was arrested while trying to bring an animal to the holy site as a Paschal offering.
During the times of the First and Second Temple, the week-long festival of Sukkot was marked by sacrifices, water libations and the custom of circling the altar while holding palm fronds.
The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism.
For centuries, Jews did not visit the hilltop esplanade because of a rabbinic consensus that the laws of ritual purity still apply to the Temple Mount. But in recent years, a growing number of rabbis have argued that ritual purity laws do not apply to all sections of the Temple Mount and encourage visits to permitted areas to maintain Jewish connections to the site.
The status quo governing the Temple Mount goes back to 1967, when Israel liberated the Old City of Jerusalem from Jordan during the Six-Day War. Then-Defense Minister Moshe Dayan agreed to let the Islamic Waqf, a Muslim trusteeship, continue managing the holy site's day-to-day affairs, while Israel would maintain overall sovereignty and be responsible for security.
According to the status quo, non-Muslims are allowed to visit the Temple Mount but not to pray there.

Comment: It's not clear how Jewish morality is superior to, say, Catholic morality if Catholics have progessed to the point where the blood of Christ is symbolized by wine, and the Jews are still killing sheep because their rituals demand REAL BLOOD and REAL DEATH.
We notice that the red hair of the lamb is almost exactly the same color as the red hair of the Jewish man carrying the lamb and wonder - is this a coincidence? Or is the lamb is filling in for a human, much as the Catholics' sanctified wine replaces the actual Blood of Christ?
And, of course, there is the small matter of the Jews' clinical obsession with the Temple Mount - digging, digging, digging in a desperate attempt to find something to support their claims that a temple was built there, three thousand years ago, and that this somehow gives them a deed to the land.
Food for thought.
