JERUSALEM – A Temple Mount activist dressed in priestly garments was released from jail after being arrested during the holiday of Shavuot for waving the “Two Loaves” offering at the Temple Mount compound.
The activist was arrested by police forces after successfully sneaking into the Temple Mount area carrying the “Shtei HaLechem” (two breads) offering and performing the traditional waving ceremony associated with the holiday.
In a video filmed immediately after his release from prison, while still wearing the white priestly garments, the activist shared his feelings and noted that this was a continuation of an activity that had already begun last year. He said that despite the heavy police security at the entrances to the Temple Mount, the activists managed to outmaneuver the security forces.
He also hinted that alongside the successful waving ceremony, another planned event that day did not succeed: “There was another event that didn’t work out.”
