1. According to Islam, Mohammed ascended to heaven from the rock (remains from the earlier Temples) on the Temple Mount around which the mosque is built. It is the third holiest site in Islam.

2. I believe that Jews cannot step foot on the Temple Mount for fear of stepping on the "Holy of Holies," (Kadosh haKadosh) i.e., the inner-most sanctuary where the Ark of Covenant rested and where only the high priests were allowed to venture under strict commands and conditions on Yom Kippur (ironically, Yom Kippur starts at sundown tomorrow).

3. If I recall properly, this is *NOT* where Abraham was instructed to sacrifice Isaac (but I could be wrong).

Abraham took Isaac to Mount Moriah.

BZZZZT! Sorry, wrong answer, thanks for playing!

I'm not Jewish, but do know enough to know that it is currently Passover. Yom Kippur is typically in October, though I think sometimes falls into early November (or is it late September?). That's why the Yom Kippur War of 1973 is sometimes referred to as the October War.
