“Temple Mount Summary” Israeli authorities have taken action through banning all non-Muslim prayer within Temple Mount’s compound and restricting Jewish prayer to the tattered remnants of the West Wall in an attempt to dissipate heated debate of this sacred location. After an attempted Palestinian assassination of a protuberant Israeli advocate, Yehuda Glick, Israeli governmental officials temporarily forbade all Palestinian men under the age of 35 from entering the complex. Preceding Muslim control, Jews originally constructed and settled the Foundation Stone, as they erected two temples under the direction of King Solomon and Herod. Both these temples were destroyed throughout history, with the Western Wall of the Second Temple the only

    The fact that the Hebrews built temples just to hold the Torah shows how significant the Torah was to them. It also shows how important following Yahweh’s law was to them, for them to have a building built specifically to house The Torah. One specific temple that was built was the Solomon’s Temple in 966-586 BCE by King Solomon. The inside of the temples were filled with frescos that were paintings of stories from the Torah. The Hebrews architecture proves their answer to the terrible question because of the temples that were built specifically to house the…

    The new group of Americans for the reconstruction of Mount Rushmore are mainly industrialists from the Gilded Age(1870-1890). In brief, the Gilded Age contributed to the 2nd Industrial Revolution. Factors that made the 2nd Industrial Revolution possible were natural resources, growing labor forces, expanding markets(consumers) and availability of capital investment(people investing in companies). The federal government's role during the Gilded Age was to promote industrial growth, create high tariffs on imported goods, grant land to railroads and further removal of Native Americans. The men whose faces are embossed on the new Mount Rushmore are John O’ Sullivan, Edwin Drake, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Andrew Carnegie.…

    It would be unfair to claim the all the rulers and people of the middle ages and renaissance, where all biased and unfair. There were kings, popes, barons, clergy, and simpletons, who defended the Jews, and attempted to provide equality and justice for all of their subjects (Roth, Foa, Wein). King James I of Aragon, is paradigmatic of such a ruler. There were many atrocities committed against the Jews during the King Jamie’s reign, and many forced disputations between Jewish and Christian clergy, orchestrated in order to convert the Jews. The Disputation of Barcelona was one such orchestrated event, yet it stands out, for Kings Jamie allowed the Rabbi Nahmanides, the freedom of speech and even rewarded his performance.…

    The Ignorance and Arrogance of Rabbi Avi Shafran I was not surprised by the vile views expressed by Rabbi Avi Shafran, spokesman for Agudath Israel of America. I was surprised that he decided at this most sensitive time to publically blame Jews for the crime of trying to pray on the Temple Mount. There is no doubt that such an attitude both legitimizes and strengthens Arab violence with a rabbinic stamp of approval! In my eyes, Shafran’s comments border on the criminal and he should be condemned by all!…

    The “Aztec Account of the Massacre of the Temple” is the Aztec empire’s interpretation of the unexpected incursion from the Spaniards, which led to a disastrous massacre of its empire. Before getting in depth, the Aztec empire was established based upon an alliance between three different states, and as a united empire, they ruled in and around the valley of Mexico.

My experience held both things I had expected, but many of my accusations were proven to be wrong.
