Despite the severe halachic prohibition against entering Har Habayis, Yeshivas Har Habayis, which opened this summer, takes advantage of the fact that the Israeli police forbid davening at the holy site but not learning.
Rav Eliyohu Weber explained that the twenty-four staff members and students of his institution study halachos relevant to the Har Habayis. To receive a small stipend, students must spend at least two hours a day learning on Har Habayis.
The p’sak shared by all gedolei haposkim of this and previous generations is that it is halachically forbidden for Yidden to ascend to the Har Habayis.
