Today's Visit to the Temple Mount

Today, I substituted for Dr. Yoel Elitzur as the guide/escort person for the 7:30AM walkaround the Temple Mount.

Ten of us spend just over an hour walking from the Mughrabi Gate across to the Eastern Wall, north, across to the Western Wall and south to the Chain Gate where we exited.
