The desecration occurred on one of the 10 days during the year that the holy site is open only to Muslims and is closed to Jews. The same arrangement also is accorded to Jews on 10 holy Jewish days.
Uri Karzen, a Hevron resident, reported that a Kohen, who recites the priestly blessings during Sabbath morning service, told him he smelled urine next to the Oren Kodesh containing Torah scrolls. Karzen and other worshippers moved the table, where the Torah scrolls are placed during the reciting of the portion of the week, in order to avoid the foul smell.
The Hamas flags were discovered in the windows that mark the burial sites of Avraham and Yitzchak, Sarah, Rivka and Leah.
Hevron resident Asher Horowitz explained that he and others spotted the flags when they were returning holy books, which had been taken into safe storage before the prohibition from Jews entering the Cave of the Patriarchs went into effect. He used a stick to pull one of the flags from the marker of the burial site of Avraham and friends told him they found flags at other markers.
Ever since Muslims destroyed Torah scrolls in the Cave of the Patriarchs in the 1980s, Jews always remove holy books and lock the Holy Ark when they are prohibited from entering.
There are security cameras, but the place where urine was smelled may have been out of range of the cameras.
Hevron police said they know nothing about the incidents but that a complaint may not have been filed yet out of respect for the Sabbath.
Shocking!!
Try to do it on a quran the left will be all over it.
yemach shmom vezichrom
It’s about to wake up and throw out these animals out of Israel. Imagine what they do to us Jews if they had REAL power. Throw them out, and feif on the velt! If we keep waiting we will be sorry.
Time to fight fire with fire. I wish there was an izzy or 2 that would have the testosterone to get manure of any kind and smear it all over their m’komos t’mayos. Enough already. We are way too nice for NO reason.
Lo Sexchye Kol Neshma. They are real Nazis!
have a jew urinate next to a koran and watch them declare war in the streets.
israel is one sick country
Please – Don’t let low life one Anti-Semetic Arab who urinates near a Holy Sefer Torah drive you to such total distraction . . . or lead you to do similar behavior . . . he would be so pleased with himself if he knew of your reaction . . , and he’s not worth it.
this is absolutly nuts! they are horrible
Yonason, I see your point but you are WRONG. We must respond IN KIND…Let the world know what we’re doing & why, show proof, & do to their “holy” garbage what they do to our Sifrei Kedusha.
I cry when I think of it. Kick those Arab scum OUT OF CHEVRON & OUT OF MARAS HAMACHPELA! They have all the power..we have none.
Kahana and Boruch Goldstein HYD were unfortunately very right.
#11 – Anonymous, do you really believe that is what our Torah instructs us to do – to allow such depraved people to define for us what should be our standards of behavior? We are better than that . . . and more to the point, the Torah requires us to look there for guidance . . . not merely to copy the behavior of “them.”
if a jew would of done this to a koran he would of been arrested already
#14 – aim and fire: Baruch Goldstein was right? What is the Mesorah for such a position? Very sad.
what is a kohen doing inside mearat hamachpelah?
When its Closed for us the Jewish people,
Why would you leave a Torah ther?
Lock & Load…
I WAS THERE EREV ROSH CHODESH ELUL WHEN JEWS WERE ALLOWED TO PRAY IN THE OHEL OF YITZCHOK WHICH IS OFF LIMITS ALL THE REST OF THE TIME AND ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE GUARDING THE ARAB RUGS AND PRAYER APPARATUS.
Hoss – Re, Kohanim in Meoras Hamachpelah.
What on earth are you talking about???
Yonason,
Not in shooting them; in his outlook on arabs.
Try walking through Shaar Shchem one sunny afternoon. Report back, if you can, on the warm reception you received from our lovable cuddily cousins.
One where was the Israeli security?
Two why are the Arabs allowed in at all if they are unable to respect a place they supposedly consider sacred as well?
Three there must be a response but not a vulgar one – ban entry to all Arabs or if they don’t each one should be frisked and ID’d
Four throw all Arabs out of Israel and give land to Jews free for Aliya on a lottery system
Are there enough Jews who have the guts to carry signs and enter a mosque and have the cameras come in and then make sure the Jews do NOT urinate.
Then ask the cameras how many riots there would have been in the world for that but no Jews made even one riot for this. This shows how we are brought up.
I was in the Machpelah and the idiot Israeli government allows a Muslim imam to comne in five times a day to scear his ala akbar crap at the top of his voice with the volume turned up to the highest. They do that even in the middle of bar mitzvah celebrations. Chalk another one up to Ehud.
To my Moslem brethren I say:
“Sa’alam aleikum” – Peez on you
