Jewish Temple Mount

The Jewish Temple Mount is a sacred site in Jerusalem, believed to be the location of the First and Second Jewish Temples, the holiest sites in Judaism. It is also known as Har HaBayit in Hebrew. The area holds deep religious significance as the place where Jewish worship and prayer historically centered, particularly the Temple's inner sanctuary. Today, it is a focal point of religious reverence and political sensitivity, with the Western Wall—a remnant of the Second Temple—serving as a major pilgrimage and prayer site. The site is also significant to Islam and Christianity, adding to its complex historical and religious importance.
