Israelis Dror Kafah and Alona Shalmair, who are scheduled to get married tomorrow evening (Thursday), made a holy pilgrimage to the Temple Mount this morning (Wednesday), and were detained after he tried to give her a ring to make their engagement official.
“We got to go up to the Temple Mount the holiest place for the Jewish people. It’s a dream of the ages. I was privileged to give my future wife a ring in the most important place in the world and for that we came all the way from (the northern Israeli town of) Haderah,” said Kafah, a high school educator.
Jewish marriage ceremonies feature a glass breaking tradition to commemorate the destruction of both Temples.
