Reportedly, as many as four Jewish couples got married at Masjid al-Aqsa over the past 18 months, despite long-standing status quo rules reserving prayer at the Masjid to Muslims.
Couple, Yuval and Racheli from Tel Aviv in June visited Masjid al-Aqsa and married, the Students for the Temple Mount Facebook page reported.
The Temple advocates celebrated the development by “noting that Arab couples have been getting married routinely at the holiest site to the Jews, and suggesting it’s time Jews followed suit.”
Yuval and Racheli brought their kids along for the ceremony.
In a similar move last year, Tom Nisani, chairman and coordinator of the Im Tirtzu movement, gave a ring to his new wife Sarah Lorkett, an activist in the movement, at Masjid al-Aqsa.
A spokesperson for the Zionist group, Students for the Temple Mount, suggested his formation is “constantly working to break the glass ceiling that the Israeli government, through the police, have placed in our way.”
