hen Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them: 'Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb. 24 And you shall observe this matter for an ordinance for you and your sons for ever. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you: What do you mean you by this service? 27. And you shall say: It is the sacrifice of G-d's Passover, for He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.' (Exodus 12)
Soon, with G-d's help, we will establish Jewish leadership for Israel. Please be forewarned that when that happens, our familiar, comfortable Pesach holiday will be radically changed. We will have to forget about the Pesach seder with the extended family at the home of the family balabusta. Instead, we will be face to face with the Korban Pesach (Passover offering) at the Temple Mount.
For those who have forgotten, the Korban Pesach is a positive commandment, equal in its importance to the mitzvah of brit milah (circumcision). The mitzvah of circumcision is a personal covenant between a Jew and his Father in heaven. The Pesach offering is the national covenant between the Jewish Nation and its Father in heaven. These two commandments forged the Jewish People as the unique nation of the Creator – both as individuals and as a collective.
Today, a Jewish policeman stands at the entrance to the Temple Mount and explains to the Jews that they are prohibited from praying there. A request to bring a sacrificial lamb is out of the question. When we will finally establish Jewish leadership for Israel, though, the same policeman will stand at the entrance to the Temple Mount and cheerfully explain what you need to know, ensuring that you are well-versed in the Jewish laws that must be observed during your momentous visit.
In truth, it is not the policeman who blocks our entrance to the Temple Mount. It is the observant Jews whose Torah and faith are still in exile. They/we feel more comfortable when our covenant with G-d remains exclusively in the realm of the individual. It's great to be religious in your home and "Israeli" in public. The people subscribed to this mode of living will go to great lengths to avoid being a complete Jew in the complete Land of Israel – both in private and in public. In other words, at some level, all of us have a little policeman in our hearts, blocking the entrance to the Temple Mount. That is why we have a full-sized, flesh and blood policeman at its gates.
When we establish Jewish leadership for Israel, all of this will be distant memory. The prime minister and his cabinet will ascend to the Temple Mount with their sacrificial lambs. The entire national mentality will change, and there will be no more lame excuses for not bringing the Pesach offering.
Instead of sitting in the comfort of our living rooms and chewing on matzah that symbolizes the Pesach offering, we will joyously sit in the streets and alleys surrounding the Temple Mount, eating our roasted sacrificial lamb.
The international uproar will be deafening. How will we be able to conduct "peace" negotiations when the entire Jewish Nation is at the Temple Mount with their Pesach offerings? And who will protect us from Iran? And what will Obama do? And how will Russia react? And what about the European Union? What will we explain?
27. And you shall say: It is the sacrifice of G-d's Passover, for He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.'
Happy Festival of Freedom,
Moshe Feiglin
No one takes this “sanhedrion” seriously.
YHvH ?? Allah ?? The Evil One ?? Hamas ?? Fatah ?? Waqf ?? Who is your "no one" ??
How about the Kohen Gadol in Jerusalem. Gadol !
Shabbat Shalom on this Shabbat Hagadolshalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
There is no Kohen Gadol at this time.
The korban pesach is the only sacrifice that can be brought without the Temple. Evidence from Byzantine records indicate that it was brought, at least irregularly, up until the 6th century. There is no Halachic impediment to bringing it today.
Does it require an altar?
Yes. But the altar can be constructed anywhere on the Temple Mount. It doesn’t use the same altar that every other sacrifice used. In fact, in Temple times, there were dozens of altars constructed for the korban pesach, to enable thousands of lambs to be slaughtered as quickly as possible.
It may be an interesting Pesach this year.
The Israeli Supreme Court has already rejected the petition to hold the korban pesach. This happens every year: some group plans to hold it, the police threaten arrests, the group petitions the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court sides with the cops. There is nothing new under the sun.
Have you ever read a ruling of any kind about the entire Jewish population of Jerusalem being required to evacuate the city for the duration of Pesach if Har HaBayit were in Jewish hands but no qorban pesach was brought?
Just an Israeli supreme court impediment.
I have never heard of such a ruling.
I saw it somewhere online. I believe it was attributed to the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
One final question (and please forgive me for being so much trouble on such a busy day): could the qorban pesach be offered according to the current, fixed calendar, or would the date of the new moon have to be established by the testimony of two witnesses?
I’m hardly an expert. But I don’t think you’d need the testimony of two witnesses, which would require a Sanhedrin.
