I just returned from Israel with an extremely committed group of BFA Ambassadors who have been on a special mission. We scheduled this special tour a year ago with no idea how significant and timely it would be. This morning we spent extended time on the deserted Temple Mount reading, reflecting and praying.
Is it a coincidence that President Trump declared Sunday March 15th, the day we ascended the Temple Mount, a National Day of Prayer? We don’t think so.
“It is my great honor to declare Sunday, March 15th as a National Day of Prayer,” We are a Country that, throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these. No matter where you may be, I encourage you to turn towards prayer in an act of faith. Together, we will easily PREVAIL!”
What better place to pray than at the very place that God said, “Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.” 2 Chronicles 7:15. Continue Reading…
Yehudah and Hadass Glick welcome us into their home in Jerusalem to understand Passover from the time of the Exodus in Egypt all the way up until how it is celebrated in modern-day Israel. They are committed to helping people around the world embrace family. Passover is a perfect opportunity to do just that! Continue Reading…
MK Yehuda Glick participates in “Passover sacrifice” ritual at the base of the Temple Mount. This is first time in 2,000 years this could take place so close to where the Temple stood. Continue Reading…
Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place?
Psalms 24:3
For the last few years I have been puzzled by the police’s practice of persistently prohibiting prayer on the Temple Mount, even though the Israeli courts have ruled that it is legal for pilgrims to offer prayer up there.
Last year [2014] at the time of Shavuot/Pentecost I traveled to Israel to experience, up close and personal, the answer to the question posed in Psalm 24: “Who may ascend?” And for an entire year, I have watched events on the Temple Mount deteriorate from unreasonable to absurd. Continue Reading…
Yehudah Glick Ascends to a Seat in the Israeli Government!
May 25th, 2016
“Leaving here in the true Name of God, praying that in His name I will have success. I thank Him for all He has done for me until today.”
“I am exiting from here. I do not know when I will return. Whatever I will do I pray to remember that it all begins from here, and from Shalom which this place symbolizes, Shalom which is His name. All I will do shall be for the sake of His land His people. The roots of it all is Jerusalem, city of Shalom. I hope to contribute to the world more light, good blessing, prosperity, and shalom.
This place is the origin of the light and prosperity of the world. Leaving here in the true Name of God, praying that in His name I will have success. I thank Him for all He has done for me until today. This is the origin of my power. Thank you all.” (Translated by MK Rabbi Yehudah Glick)
Irony: a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one would expect.
I find it ironic that, after fighting to gain control of the city of Jerusalem, Moshe Dayan, former defense minister of Israel, gave religious oversight of the Temple Mount to the Islamic authorities—including the right to declare who may pray on that holy site.
According to Israeli law, the Temple Mount is under Israeli sovereignty. Therefore, I also find it ironic that, despite countless acts of aggression and violence against peaceful non-Muslim visitors to the Mount, the present Israeli government remains committed to maintaining the “status quo” of that arrangement.
Now, the present defense minister, Moshe Ya’alon, has left the Knesset, making way for Rabbi Yehudah Glick to fill his vacated seat. Rabbi Glick is the founder of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation. He has committed his life—literally—to bringing religious freedom back to the Mount. But this unexpected turn of events heightens the irony of the situation since Rabbi Glick, as a member of the Knesset, is now banned from entering the very place he is trying to open up for people of all faiths. The day before he was sworn in to his new government seat he made one final visit to the Temple Mount . . . for now . . . and gave a stirring message.
After a devastating and illegal excavation on the Temple Mount, for the first time in history, archaeological artifacts from the Temple Mount itself are being uncovered, and you have the chance to be part of it!

In a detailed statement, Netanyahu said Israel recognizes “the importance of the Temple Mount to peoples of all three monotheistic faiths … and reaffirms its commitment to upholding unchanged the status quo of the Temple Mount, in word and in practice.”
Does Prime Minister Netanyahu mean what he says? I am starting to wonder. On my recent visit to the headquarters of Breaking Israel News in Ramat Beit Shemesh, I offered my perspective on what the Prime Minister means when he says, “We are committed to maintaining the status quo on the Temple Mount.” The editors decided to write an article that you may find helpful in understanding what these two power-packed words—“status quo”—really mean when referring to the historic agreement between Israel and Jordan regarding the Temple Mount. You can read the article here: In Defense of the Staus Quo on the Temple Mount. Continue Reading…
SUNDAY OCTOBER 18th 5:45-7:00 p.m. Jerusalem time (10:45 a.m. eastern USA) Yehudah Glick is hosting “Survival and Celebration” at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, marking one year since he survived an assassination attempt at the same location. Pastor Keith Johnson, a close friend of Glick and the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, will host the live stream of the event in English, which will feature interviews and footage of the event. For those who missed the live event, here is the edited version we created just for you. ENJOY!
While we count down to the live event from Jerusalem, take a look at this compelling video!

After spending well over a decade building a solid foundation based on our vision that started beneath the Old City of Jerusalem, BFA International has emerged above ground to lend our support to the Temple Mount Truth Project! We believe the timing of the launch of this new initiative is significant. It coincides with the birth of our vision and mission, which started at the time of Shavuot in 2002 in Israel.
The directors of the TMT Project have invited organizations like ours to provide historical, archaeological, and biblical information about the Temple Mount to the public. We are honored to offer our perspective and to support the Temple Mount Truth Project as provision meets vision. Our first contribution is to launch a special video—titled “Who May Ascend?”—that will give the public an opportunity to witness Rabbi Yehuda Glick leading 50 Jewish pilgrims as they ascend the Temple Mount on the eve of the biblical Feast of Shavuot.
