Destroyed Jerusalem Synagogue Rededicated

(Jerusalem Post) Abe Selig and Hilary Leila Krieger - The renowned Hurva synagogue inside the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City has been rebuilt and is again an operational house of prayer after a 62-year hiatus. The synagogue, once the largest in Jerusalem, was destroyed by the Jordanian Arab Legion during the War of Independence in 1948. Speaking inside the Hurva before the ceremony, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger addressed Muslim concerns: "All we are doing is resurrecting the Hurva, which was destroyed more than 60 years ago. We have no intention of rebuilding the Temple....All the rumors that suggest we will later march on the Temple Mount are just that - rumors; a media spin by anti-Semites who wish us harm."
