The Tomb of Samuel and the Temple Mount
Michael Freund - Just north of Jerusalem, the Tomb of Samuel the Prophet is perhaps the only major holy site in Israel where a Jewish synagogue and Muslim mosque operate side-by-side around the clock, freely and without hindrance. No restrictions are imposed on either group's right to worship there, no division of the site is in place, nor are any policemen posted at the entrance to check which religion one professes. If it can be done at the Tomb of Samuel, there is no reason why it cannot be done elsewhere. Freedom of access for Jews to their most sacred of sites is a matter of principle whose violation should no longer be countenanced.
