On April 7, 2023, Rabbi Leo Dee lost his wife and two daughters in a terror attack.<\/p>\n
Israel Police officers apprehended Rabbi Leo Dee at the Temple Mount on Sunday morning. Dee, who lost his wife, Lucy, and daughters Maia and Rina in a roadside terrorist attack in the West Bank<\/a> in April 2023, ascended the Mount ahead of his upcoming wedding to Aliza Teplitsky.<\/p>\n \u201cThis morning, I found myself standing on the Temple Mount. Tonight I will be standing under the chuppah, smashing a glass to remember the destruction of our holiest place. That glass is supposed to symbolize brokenness. But here\u2019s the thing I\u2019ve learned in the two-plus years since the tragedy that took my wife and two young daughters: commemorating brokenness is never enough,\u201d Dee told The Jerusalem Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n He was held by police after wearing tefillin as part of morning prayers, and was released after receiving a summons for a hearing.<\/p>\n Footage from the scene on Sunday morning shows Dee dancing and singing in celebration in the Temple Mount<\/a> plaza, donning the tefillin.<\/p>\n On April 7, 2023, the British-Israeli family was driving along Highway 57 in the Jordan Valley in the West Bank, amid the Passover holiday. Lucy, 48, and her daughters, Maia, 20, and Rina, 15, were ambushed near the Hamra Junction when Palestinian terrorists opened fire on their vehicle, causing it to crash after it rammed off the road; they then shot them at close range before fleeing the scene. The sisters were declared dead at the scene, while Lucy succumbed to her wounds a few days later.<\/p>\n
