On Sunday, September 13, the eve of Rosh HaShana, among the many Jews who ascended the Temple Mount in preparation for the new year, was Israel's Minister of Agriculture, Uri Ariel. Uri Ariel, a kohen, (descendant of the Temple priests via the lineage of Aharon), has made many trips to the Temple Mount. On Sunday he recorded this New Year's greeting from the Temple Mount: the threefold priestly blessing, (birkat kohanim) as first recorded in Numbers 6:24-26. Ariel is standing due east of the place of the Holy Temple, which can be seen behind him. "'May HaShem bless you and watch over you. May HaShem cause His countenance to shine to you and favor you. May HaShem raise His countenance toward you and grant you peace.' They shall bestow My Name upon the children of Israel, so that I will bless them."
