Ha'Ivri has organized mass attempts to ascend to the Temple Mount, though those attempts have always been forcibly stopped by police forces due to their claims of Arab threats to such groups. Some of these attempts garnered significant media attention, particularly the April 10th 2005 "Revava To Temple Mount" when tens of supporters were arrested.As know Jewish activist and leader, Ha'Ivri has been interviewed by major press outlets around the world such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Al Jazeera, Yediot Achronot, Haaretz, Kol Israel, Fox News and CNN.

Since the murder of Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane, son of Rabbi Meir Kahane, David Ha'Ivri assumed responsibly for the continuation of the Kahane publications, printing new editions of many Rabbi Kahane classics that had been out of print, as well as translations, websites, and printed newsletters.
