Israelite priests hold first gathering since Temple era

Jews belonging to the Tribe of Levi, and particularly the Kohen clan, came together for a mass gathering in Jerusalem on Sunday. It was the first large-scale gathering of biblically-mandated Israelite priests since the time of the Second Temple.

The gathering included lectures and seminars on the history and future of the Temple, and culminated with all of the participants declaring the priestly blessing over Israel from the Western Wall.

Genetic research over the past several decades has succeeded in isolating a particular DNA signature shared by all members of the Tribe of Levi, making the reinstitution of Israel's priestly caste a relatively simple endeavor once the Temple is rebuilt.

"Titus is dust. For that matter, so is Haman, Antiochus, Torqueamada, the Czars and Hitler. But we're still here. Maybe some others should learn a lesson from that."

You forgot that little thug Arafat and the blowhard, Hussein. Probably not dust yet, but working on it. Ahmadinejad is next.

Yes, you would think man would learn. You would think....

Jewish life continues to rise from the rubble of the Diaspora. It would be a kick to see the look on Titus' face, if he could see it.

What would really surprise him would be that the language of the people he scattered and whose Temple is destroyed is widely spoken,while his own language is spoke by another cult he though was dying out.
