\nTom Nisani, CEO of the organization Beyadenu \u2013 For the Temple Mount, responded to the data:
\n“Jewish rights on the Temple Mount are advancing far too slowly compared to the public, which is reconnecting to the site. The authorities still haven\u2019t understood the need to allow free access to a free people \u2013 and we will keep working until that\u2019s achieved.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/time2-768x1024.jpeg\")

\nThe visits were conducted in a festive and peaceful atmosphere. Dozens of rabbis, Knesset members, and yeshiva heads took part, and visitors held full prayer services \u2013 Shacharit, Musaf, Mincha, and Hallel.
\nRabbi Shimshon Elboim, head of the Temple Mount Directorate, said:
\n“A new historic record was set on the Temple Mount \u2013 the return of the Jewish people to the site is gaining strength. We thank the Prime Minister, the Minister of National Security, the police commanders, and all the security personnel for their efforts during the holiday.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/time4-300x225.jpeg\")
