(Haaretz) Israel's two chief rabbis on Monday condemned an upcoming interfaith prayer vigil near the Temple Mount and called on the authorities to prevent it from taking place, in what appears to be part of a larger campaign against cooperating with evangelical groups.
The prayer vigil is being organized by the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem, which brings together evangelical Christians from North America who are enthusiastic supporters of Israel, and is scheduled to take place during the Sukkot holiday next month, on the last morning of the Christian Embassy’s annual Feast of Tabernacles.
