The history of the Hurva ("ruined") Synagogue goes back many centuries. Here is its history, for those interested:

It has been destroyed a couple of time and is now rebuilt and dedicated on March 15, 2010.

This is another flash point in Jerusalem. It is also what J. R. Church was referring to in his U-Tube video posted earlier in regard to animal sacrifices. I don't know if they will offer sacrifices on Passover this year at the synagogue, or if they feel they have to wait until they can do it on the Temple Mount itself. The synagogue is a few hundred yards away.
