Dror Kafah and Alona Shalmair, who are scheduled to get married tomorrow evening (Thursday), arrived at the Temple Mount this morning, and were detained after trying to give each other a ring instead. They were soon released.

Dror, coordinator of the civilian profession and high school educator, decided to give his future wife a ring and greet her in the holiest place of the Jewish people. According to members of the "Students for the Temple Mount" movement, giving the ring has become a trend, as a "symbolic, personal, nationalist and religious" act.

Although it is not in most cases a real marriage, the police, who maintain the status quo with piety, seek to prevent it at all costs, and so, when Dror gave the ring to his partner, he delayed for about half an hour. According to him, this is without the detaining officer explaining what law was passed. They were then released.

"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 her room," said Kafah.

Tom Nissani Chair of the Students for the Temple Mount movement noted that "This is a couple who chose to hold a ceremony that includes a ring on the Temple Mount, this class is gaining momentum among the general public, and is a positive change of direction - young people from all over the country understand that the Temple Mount is the holiest place To the Jewish people, the most exciting and closest place to any Jew. Congratulations to the dear couple. "
