HaRav Eliashiv: Every Effort Should be Made to Prevent
Jews from Going Up to Har Habayis
By Betzalel Kahn
Maran HaRav Eliashiv shlita told the rov of the Kosel
Maarovi, HaRav Shmuel Rabinovitz, that every effort should be
made to prevent Jews from going up to Har Habayis due to the
severe prohibition against going up to the site of the Temple
today.
HaRav Eliashiv made these remarks on Isru Chag Shavuos, a day
on which he always goes to the remnant of Beis Hamikdosh
to daven. Before he left the Western Wall Plaza he
asked HaRav Rabinovitz to make every effort to prevent Jews
from going up to Har Habayis.
HaRav Eliashiv even expressed his amazement and shock that a
group of people who call themselves rabbonim decided to
encourage going up to Har Habayis and even paid a visit there
themselves, contravening the ruling of gedolei
hadoros, and said every means possible should be used to
raise awareness regarding this serious prohibition.
