Yehudah Joshua Glick is an American-born Israeli Orthodox rabbi and politician. He served in the Knesset as a Likud Minister from 2016-2019. Since 2008, Glick has been heading the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, as well as HaLiba, the Initiative for Jewish Freedom on the Temple Mount, which he established. In 2015 Glick was awarded the Moskowitz “Lion of Zion” award. This honor is conferred on outstanding Israeli men and women who act from a feeling of personal responsibility, vision, and national mission, often while sacrificing their personal welfare and even endangering their personal security. In February 2018 he was given the prestigious “Knights of Quality Government” Award for the way he conducted his work as a Member of Knesset.
On October 29, 2014, as he exited the annual conference of Temple Mount activists at the Temple Mount Heritage Center in Jerusalem, Glick was shot by an Arab resident of Abu-Tor. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition, but after a lengthy hospitalization and rehabilitation period, he returned to his public activities.
