An extraordinary ruling given today (Sunday) in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court states that Jews are allowed to say "Shema" and bow on the Temple Mount. The decision was made following an appeal against the arrest of three boys who bowed and read "Shema Yisrael" while visiting the mountain area.

The boys were arrested by police last week and given a 15-day restraining order from the Old City, following the fact that they bowed and prayed inside the Temple Mount. The police's claim in the application for the restrictive conditions is that their conduct may lead to a violation of public peace.
