The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement (or Temple Mount Faithful) was founded by Gershon Salomon, a former officer in the Israel Defence Forces who lectures on Middle Eastern studies. The group seeks the removal of two Islamic holy places from the Temple Mount as the first step in the rebuilding of a JewishTemple there and the reinstitution of the ancient Jewish sacrificial rite.
Their aim is supported only by a small minority of the Israeli public. Numerous times, in particular during the Al-Aqsa Intifada, the Temple Mount Faithful were forbidden to ascend on the Temple Mount out of fear of leading to clashes with the Muslim Arabs on the site. In these cases, the Faithful complied with the authorities.
This exciting event was renewed by The TempleMount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement after the liberation of the TempleMount in 1967.
When the Faithful Movement undertake the pilgrimage march to the TempleMount on Sunday, 20 April, the fourth day of Pesach, the Omer will be carried to the TempleMount to offer it to the G-d of Israel on His holy hill as an important stage leading up to the rebuilding of the Temple.
The Faithful Movement will also carry a large Biblical model of the Temple to the TempleMount to say to G-d that we are ready to build the Temple and as a message to the Israeli people and all the world.
