Walking with a sheep through the streets of Jerusalem, a Return to the Mount activist was arrested Sunday morning near the Old City, which he intended to offer as an "always-on sacrifice" on the Temple Mount as commanded by the Torah.
The 20-year-old activist has now been detained for questioning and the sheep has been confiscated by the police.

The movement offers a cash reward of NIS 10,000 to anyone arrested with a Capricorn or Aries and calls on Jews to come to the Temple Mount plaza with Capricorns in order to offer the Passover sacrifice. In recent years, the movement's activists came every Passover evening with sheep to sacrifice them as commanded by Judaism on the Temple Mount, and now the activists are expanding the struggle to renew the sacrificial service and demanding that the "eternal sacrifice" that the Torah commands to be offered every day, every day of the year.
