Okay, I did some research on the whole Temple Mount issue, and I found out the law banning Jews from entering is as Israeli one, not a Muslim one. So the people who are keeping the Jews out of the Temple Mount are other Jews. I could not figure out why, except that it's so sacred nobody ought to be there at all. But then the Muslims built a Mosque there, so they are allowed in. Or something like that.

So how does that work? Do they card you at the door for your religion, or are you on the honor system not to try to sneak in, or what?

My mom renounced her Judaism 40 years ago, before I was born even, yet I'm still totally in by most accounts*, despite having been raised Catholic and baptized and confirmed and the whole nine yards. So I guess from my perspective, I never got that at all, but I imagine if I wanted to be Jewish and didn't already have a Jewish parent, it would be a far different story.



*the only person who ever said otherwise was my sister's father-in-law, who would live to regret calling me "the non-Jewish one."
