>They will not be able to pray there this year.”
Not a problem. They cannot call on the name of their God anyway. Their ancestors cursed them.
God told Moses to call him יהוה 'Yahweh'. But they are forbidden from doing so. The call him 'Hashem' or 'The Name'.
Joe 2:32 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
It is silly paganism to think that God does not hear prayers because of a nearby statue.
Ps 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there].
The real Jews formed the early church. It has been trashed by the Gentiles, but that's why Jesus said he would give it back… but not until they call upon his name.
