First in 2000 Years: Silver Temple Trumpets Sounded on Temple Mount

On Tisha B’Av, the day commemorating the destruction of the Jewish Temples in Jerusalem, Josh Wander brought his silver trumpets specially made for use in the Temple to the Machkama building. Built about 700 years ago, it is currently used as a Border Police station. The building faces the Western Wall Plaza but juts out over the Temple Mount.

Wander made the trumpets to fulfill the commandment of Chatzotzros. Wander’s website explains that according to the Rambam, this is the Biblical commandment- to blow the silver trumpets in times of war and trouble for the Jewish People.

The trumpets were blown at a prayer service held twice a year and overseen by Rabbi Rami Goren, the son of Rabbi Shlomo Goren, who served as the first head of the military rabbinate of the Israel Defense Forces. Rabbi Shlomo Goren oversaw the IDF victory in the 1967 Six-Day War that brought the Temple Mount under Israeli sovereignty.

Was listening to Tsfarti’s Israel update and he was talking about this very thing. Interesting how what they call the “Western Wall,” and it’s only a very small part that’s left standing from the remaining Second Temple built by King Herod. Also interesting that both temples were destroyed on the same day (9th of Av), five centuries apart. Only God…..
