#1 the modern right-wing flank has called for Jews to build the Temple now and usher in the Messiah.

"Forget the wall, goddammit ! Build the Temple !!"

#2 notwithstanding Rabbi Weber, the nominative view is that, for almost all prayers, the fact is that almost all Jews have been ritually contaminated by proximity to dead bodies and therefore are prohibited from praying in the location of the temple and since we don't know for sure where the temple was on the mount, no Jew should pray there

for some prayers, e.g., portions of the passover service which were communal and where the offerings were done outside the temple, the above restriction does not apply, however, secular courts have prohibited it on other basis

this was the basis of the Chief Rabbi's 1967 ruling after the 6 day war
