	The Mormon Curtain - MORMON TEMPLE CHANGES
		Before, the ordinance required temple patrons to be touched with water on each part of their body mentioned in the washing ordinance, including the forehead, an ear, an eye, the nose, the lips, the neck, the shoulders, the back, a breast, the stomach, an arm, a hand, the hip, a leg and a foot.
		Now, since temple patrons are already wearing their garments before the ordinance begins, the priesthood ordinance giver ends the ordinance by telling the patron that their garments are now "authorized" and must be worn for the rest of his/her life.
		For over 170 years, faithful LDS members have started the temple ordinance by completely undressing and then donning an open poncho called a "shield." During this temple ordinance, certain parts of the patron's naked body were touched with water and oil under the shield, including the forehead, chest and thigh.

		Tisha B'Av - which begins tomorrow evening - commemorates the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE by Nebuchadnetzar (which led to the founding of the influential Jewish community of Babylonia), and again in 70 CE, by the Romans.
		It also serves as a catch-all day of mourning for other major Jewish historical calamities (such as the massacres of the Crusades), but its central text - Jeremiah's Eicha, or Lamentations - is an unflinching description of the horrors inflicted upon Jerusalem by Nebuchadnetzar's seige and massacre.
		So now is also an appropriate time to revisit the condition of the Temple Mount, site of the holiest places in Jewish ritual, a topic I wrote on in my first weeks at Kesher Talk, and several times since.

	HST 103: COMMON READINGS
		This great city contains a large number of temples, or houses, for their idols, very handsome edifices, which are situated in the different districts and the suburbs; in the principal ones religious persons of each particular sect are constantly residing, for whose use, besides the houses containing the idols, there are other convenient habitations.
		Among these temples there is one which far surpasses all the rest, whose grandeur of architectural details no human tongue is able to describe; for within its precincts, surrounded by a lofty wall, there is room enough for a town of five hundred families.
		The stone and wood of which they are constructed are so well wrought in every part, that nothing could be better done, for the interior of the chapels containing the idols consists of curious imagery, wrought in stone, with plaster ceilings, and wood-work carved in relief, and painted with figures of monsters and other objects.

	Palestine Riots and Massacres of 1929
		In the summer of 1929 the Arabs of Palestine initiated rioting and massacres against the Jewish population in several towns.
		The rioters opened fire simultaneously in several neighborhoods, evidence indicating that the massacres were probably orchestrated by the Supreme Muslim Council.Near Jerusalem, the small town of Motza was attacked by Arabs who killed every member of the Makleff family but one.
		The massacres of 1929 had thus launched two themes that were to recur in the history of Israel and Palestine: agitation related to the al-Aqsa mosques and the Jewish desire for separation from the Arabs of Palestine, for self-protection.

		The Mountain Meadows Massacre involved the slaughter of 120 men, women, and children, and although the technology of massacres has now far overtaken it, it was one of the worst mass murders in US History.
		Bagley shows, however, that the church has long campaigned to keep details of the massacre hidden, and he gives documentation that the reason for this is that leaders of the church provoked the killings and members of the church committed them.
		The massacre was not a crime of "renegade" or "rogue" Mormons, but an act of true believers, who were obeying their most solemn, temple endowment covenant to "avenge the blood of the prophets."

	ShrinkWrapped: Temple Mount blogburst
		Tisha B'Av - which begins [this] evening - commemorates the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE by Nebuchadnetzar (which led to the founding of the influential Jewish community of Babylonia), and again in 70 CE, by the Romans.
		What is, however, is this: When the Temple was destroyed, that severed the link for the so-called 'Jewish-Christians', exemplified by the party of James, who saw the message of Christ as the call of Torah for all nations and not as a new religion, as Paul promoted it.
		And for Judaism, the destruction of the temple necessarily led them away from external ritual and toward a more profound internal, metaphysical understanding, in the form of rabbinic Judaism, Maimonoides, kaballah, etc. The task in our time is now to bring these two traditions back together, after having diverged some 1935 years ago.
