Activists Dedicate 'Temple-Ready' Altar on Last Day of Hanukkah

On the last day of Hanukkah, Temple activist groups unveiled and dedicated an altar outside Jerusalem's Old City for use in a future Third Temple. The roughly 4.5-tonne altar, built of bricks over a wooden frame with a two-tonne ramp, was funded by Hillel Weiss's Temple in Zion group and backed by the Committee of Temple Organizations. Organisers describe it as ready for service; whether it meets Jewish law is their claim.
