Chief Rabbi Kalman Ber: Strictly Prohibited To Ascend And To Bow On Temple Mount

 What does this mean?

 Rabbi Ber wrote: “It is strictly forbidden to ascend and bow on the Temple Mount at this time. Entry into the Temple Mount compound is strictly prohibited at this time, as ruled by the leading sages of Israel throughout the generations. This has also been the position of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate throughout its history. The Torah prohibition against bowing on a stone surface forbids full prostration with outstretched hands and feet on stone flooring, and one who does so violates the prohibition: ‘You shall not place a figured stone in your land to bow down upon it.’”  https://vinnews.com/2026/05/31/chief-rabbi-kalman-ber-strictly-prohibited-to-ascend-and-to-bow-on-temple-mount/

THIS NEEDS FURTHER ELUCIDATION:

Who is “placing….”.?

What is a “figured stone”?

Is the stone flooring on Har Habayit “placed” or is it considered from the same time as the Kotel?

And Who “placed it”?
