"An Arab mob desecrates our sanctuaries in front of the Kotel" - an issue of the newspaper Dar HaY'Om a few days before the outbreak of 1929 events
The issue of the newspaper "Doar Hayom" dated August 18, 1929, headlined: "An Arab mob desecrates our sanctuaries in front of the Western Wall" - less than a week before the events of 1929 that broke out - from the early events at the Western Wall that agitated the area before the events broke out, as well as the response of Rabbi Kook to the desecration of the Western Wall.
The magazine reports in the main article that after the (British) government allowed the worshipers of the Omar Mosque to enter the Western Wall, the books of Psalms, siddurs, and prayers of the worshipers (the notes usually placed inside the slots of the Western Wall) were torn to pieces and set on fire in front of the police - The Shamash of the Western Wall and one of the worshipers was severely beaten. Also written that a group of Jews from the Western Wall worshipers were attacked by Arabs.
In fact, as early as September 1928 friction with the Arabs in the Western Wall area, after the first time a partition was put into the Western Wall, the Arabs claimed that there was an attempt by the Jews to take control of the Temple Mount Area, and then the provocations against the Jews began in what is known as the "Wall Affair". After Mufti al-Husseini's announcement in his sermon that it is commanded to harm the Jews in August 1929, the area began to burn, and the issue before us reviews the desecration of the Western Wall that took place a few days before the harm to the jews and the terrible events of 1929.
In the lower part of the title page under the heading "Conversation with the Chief Rabbi Kook", there is an article about a conversation that the chairman of the World Federation of Hebrew Youth, Nahum Meiri, had with Rabbi Kook regarding the events at the Western Wall. In a conversation that lasted over an hour and a half, Rabbi Kook explained how the Western Wall Parsha should be viewed, and the methods of action.
