As many of you know, Tuesday night and Wednesday are Jerusalem Day. Here's a video for the occasion, which gives 4,000 years of Jerusalem's history in five minutes.
Nice video, even if it didn't mention that the longest sovereignty over Jerusalem was held by Islam for 1279 years, much longer than Jews ever had :)
Can someone explain the different religious rabbinic rulings and their significance regarding the Temple Mount, why some Rabbi's want to build a third temple, and others believe it should be left to the messianic era.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

@Chayma, amazing that it is never once mentioned in the koran, Hadith or suras - if it is so important to the mooslimes!!
@Juniper
Are you saying Jerusalem wasn't part of Israel? Israel is mentioned countless times in the Quran.
