On the 10th April the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, together with the Chai v'Kaiyam organization, intend to hold a Passover Sacrifice on the Temple Mount. This will be done on an altar which is already ready.

We have asked the government of Israel to grant us permission to hold the Sacrifice on the Temple Mount this year. In our request to the Prime Minister, we wrote that the Passover Sacrifice has a very special significance in the life and history of Israel in both the religious and national spheres. This sacrifice has a deep meaning as a memorial of the biggest redemption of Israel and the Exodus from Egypt. The G-d of Israel commanded all the people of Israel to perform this sacrifice on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This is one of the most important godly commandments. This sacrifice is a personal and family sacrifice which was made by the Israeli people in the Tabernacle and in the First and Second Temples. Even after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E. The Israelis tried to continue to perform the sacrifice. Jews even came from the exile to do it, so important was it for them. This sacrifice can be performed even before the Temple is built, just on an altar on the Temple Mount.

Israel is now in the midst of her third redemption - the biggest of all of them. The G-d of Israel returned Jerusalem and the Temple Mount to us through major miracles. Now He expects us to renew this sacrifice immediately, even before the Temple is rebuilt. Our tradition teaches us that once the sacrifice is reintroduced the redemption of Israel will be accomplished, the Third Temple will be built and Mashiach ben David will come. This was and is the dream and desire of all the generations of Israel since the destruction of the Second Temple as well as so many people all over the world. We are not allowed to disappoint the G-d of Israel and all those generations. We are not allowed to neglect what G-d commanded us to do especially at this time of redemption in Israel.

We want the government of Israel to fulfill the expectations of the G-d of Israel and the Israeli people with no fear of what the enemies of Israel and other powers will do to try to prevent it. The G-d of Israel will not all them to touch Israel, especially when Israel is doing His will. Only He controls the destiny of Israel and He is determined to accomplish His prophetic plans with the people and land of Israel. The day when the Passover sacrifice is performed will be a big day in the eyes of G-d and in the life of the people and land of Israel and many people all over the world.

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement is determined to hold this sacrifice whether or not the government grants their permission. If permission is not granted to enter the Temple Mount, then the sacrifice will be performed in the City of David before the Southern gates of the Temple Mount, the main gates used by the Israelites to enter the Temple Mount during the time of the First and Second Temples. Even though the Passover Sacrifice has to be performed on the Temple Mount, we shall sacrifice it in the City of David as a symbolic act and as a first step for the fulfillment of this important commandment. It will also be a message to the Israeli government and to the people of Israel that we are living at a time of godly redemption and we are not allowed to disappoint G-d and history through spiritual and political weakness. We have to trust in G-d's promises and not fear His enemies. By this act we want to open the gate to a new godly era in the life of Israel and all the nations exactly as we did when we attempted to lay the cornerstone on the Temple Mount.

The City of David has a special and deep significance in the life of the land of Israel. King David was the greatest king of Israel who liberated Jerusalem, bought the Temple Mount, built an altar to the honor of the G-d of Israel on this Hill and prepared it for the building of the First Temple by his son, King Solomon. This is the reason why we decided to hold this sacrifice in this holy place. It will be done without an altar but exactly according to all the details of G-d's commandment for the Passover Sacrifice. It is only on the Temple mount that sacrifice can be performed on an altar. We hope that the Israeli government will at least grant us the permission to perform the sacrifice in this place. If not, we shall perform it on a hill close to the Temple Mount and the City of David from where the Temple Mount and site of the Holy of Holies can be clearly seen.

We are determined to perform the sacrifice this year and we pray and act that it will be performed on the Temple Mount. This unique and exciting sacrifice has to be performed according to the commandments of the G-d of Israel on the day before the first day of Passover. It must be done from midday until midnight. It has to be eaten in a special family Seder in Jerusalem. This is the night when the G-d of Israel punished the Egyptians with the tenth plague, killing the firstborn sons of the Egyptians and passing over the homes of the children of Israel. On the same night G-d took the Israelites from Egypt out of slavery to freedom. G-d commanded us to remember this forever and to know that He is the eternal Savior and Father of Israel.

April 10th will be an exciting day in the life of Israel and of all of us.
