Rabbi Wants to Renew Animal Sacrifice

Animal sacrifices should be renewed on the Temple Mount, a member of

the radical Sanhedrin organization told Ynetnews.

In ancient Israel and Judea, the Sanhedrin served as the highest court

in the land, and was made up of 71 top judges. Now, a group of fringe

rabbis say they have reformed the group, although the organization has

received no recognition from Israel's official religious authorities.

"In the Torah there are around 200 commandments [Ross's note: that's

nearly a third of the 613 commandments in the Torah!] dealing with

animal sacrifices," said Rabbi Dov Stein, of the Sanhedrin

organization. "The Torah of Israel demands animal sacrifices. When the

people of Israel were in the Diaspora, it couldn't be done. But now,

there is the supreme institution, the Sanhedrin, made up of experts,

and it can be done. The new Sanhedrin, like the old, will educate the

people of Israel on how to keep and safeguard the Torah."
