King of the Hill?

Dear friends it has been a while, but much has happened since I have last written to you. I get the opportunity to ascend to the Tempe Mount every day Sunday-Thursday. Since I have been going every day the police no longer hassle me and I am able to sneak in contraband (small tehillim) on to the Mount, although I am still afarid to take it out, just having it in my pocket is a small victory. I am soon going to start a program for a small fee that will allow people to send short messgaes, which will be taken up to Har HaBayit. I will walk with the letters in a circle around the outskirts of the Temple Courtyard, in strict accordance with Torah law, while reciting prayers on behalf of all the people who send letters. Prior to the ascent I will immerse in a kosher mikveh andc only wear non-leather shoes while on the Mount in strict accordance with Torah law. This will give you a uniqe opprotunity for Jews across the world to support Jewish activity on the Mount. 1/3 of all profites will go to support the Tenua Lichinun Hamikdash, a wounderful group dedicated to resoring Jewish sovriengty on the Mount. I will keep you updated on that project .

New Job, Looking for an apartment

Last Wednesday afternoon I started a new job working as a telemarketer for a health insurance company. I am working 12 hour days for 4 days a week. I have to work on Chol Hamoed, but as least I was able to enjoy the first day of Chol Hamoed with my brothers and cousins. We hung out and went bowling in Ranana. I am not yet sure what I am doing for simchat torah, I will decide in the next couple days. There were more Arab riots today, which meant that the Har Habayit was closed once again to Jews. In this country “might makes right”, maybe if the Jews would mass riot than the Har might open for us and close to them, but who knows. I watched the mass Birkat Cohanim from the roof of the Yeshiva and I thought how sad that tens of thousands of Jews are congregating below the mount. Its like they do not realize how they are degrading themselves before the Arabs and the world at large. I now see these mass events at the Kotel as a disgrace on the Nation, Land and G-d of Israel. There was a lot of concerts in the old city last and that will continue throughout the week, lots of happy people all around. I am still looking for an apartment, G-d willing I will be able to find something in the very near future.
