Here is what Wikipedia says about the Haredim Jews or the Haredi, complete with more links to Wikipedia information:
Haredi or Charedi/Chareidi Judaism is the most conservative form of Orthodox Judaism, often referred to as ultra-Orthodox. A follower of Haredi Judaism is called a Haredi (Haredim in the plural).
Haredi Jews, like other Orthodox Jews, consider their belief system and religious practices to extend in an unbroken chain back to Moses and the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. As a result, they regard non-Orthodox, and to an extent Modern Orthodox, streams of Judaism to be deviations from authentic Judaism. Haredi Judaism comprises a diversity of spiritual and cultural orientations, generally divided into Hasidic and Lithuanian-Yeshiva streams from Eastern Europe, and Oriental Sephardic Haredim. Its historical rejection of Jewish secularism distinguishes it from Western European-derived Modern Orthodox Judaism.
Well, it appears that for years Haredim were not allowed, by their own authorities to visit the Temple Mount. More recently their visits were frowned upon by other Israeli factions, fearing they being extra-conservative, might also be extreme in their thinking and possible actions -- which in turn could result in trouble for those trying to keep the 'peace' up on the Temple Mount.
But more recently the Haredi authorities have stopped preaching against such visits, although still not encouraging them. In addition, the authorities are treating such visitors much better when they do visit.
The link below provides us with some great insight into life in modern Israel today, especially Jerusalem. For those of you that are Christians, well, you'll have to work this into your own thinking and understanding of history, the present, and the future.
