Public Invited to Seek Temple-Time Artifacts

(IsraelNN.com) Jewish community leaders from the "City of David" (Ir David) in Jerusalem are inviting the general public to take part in a unique Passover activity – searching for ancient artifacts in rubble removed from the Temple Mount. "City of David" spokesman Udi Ragones discussed the project with Arutz Sheva's Hebrew-language news service.

"This is rubble removed from the Temple Mount itself; it is filled with archaeology,” Ragones said. The dirt was removed by the Islamic Wakf, which has done construction on the Temple Mount despite the presence of ancient artifacts at the site. The artifacts, along with surrounding earth and stone, are treated by them as garbage. The Wakf's unprofessional approach, which disregards Israeli law on the treatment of such sites, is seen by many as an attempt to erase the records of ancient Jewish presence on the Temple Mount.

More than 40,000 volunteers have joined "Ir David" in recent years in searching through the “garbage” for objects from Jerusalem's past. This is the first time that the search for artifacts has been opened to the general public.

You can e-mail the same people at Nordstrom saying how disappointed you would be if they listened to these radical "Women for Hate".

These are the people they are e-mailing:

There is a Nordstroms at The Boca Town Mall.

I LOVE Ahava products.

I am going there right now to make sure they have some!

If not, I am going to make some NOISE!

Thanks for posting. It’s criminal the way pieces of artifacts have been bulldozed from Temple Mount in an effort to disprove Jewish history. Thanks to one man’s vision, he’s saving as much as he can.
