Member of Sanhedrin says sacrifices 'were not possible when the
people
of Israel were in the Diaspora, but now they are.' Adds: Jerusalem
Temple should be rebuilt, Israeli government standing in our way

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 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."
'Democracy was not invented today'
Stein vowed that "we will try to carry out animal sacrifices on the
Temple Mount this Passover, as commanded by the Torah."
Asked if his organization sought to rebuild the third Temple, Stein's
answer was unequivocal. "We want to establish the Temple again.
Unfortunately, standing in our way is a hostile regime, the Israeli
government, and rabbis who for political interest don't want this to
happen."
Stein even suggested that Muslims would agree to the project, saying:
"The Omar Mosque (the Dome of the Rock), built by Khalif Omar, was
actually intended to safeguard the site for the Jews. Islam hasn't
always been so hostile. Despite its hatred and massacres against us,
Islam sees in Judaism a source and a guide. I think the moment will
come that Muslims understand the need to build the Temple and go
along
with us."
Stein outlined his plan for Israel, calling for a king to be
appointed
democratically. "Democracy was not invented today, the king is
elected
from a list of candidates. A senior judge, as was done during the
days
of the judges, can also be appointed," he added.
However, such practices ended 2000 years ago, Rabbi Doniel Hartman
was
quoted by the Associated Press as saying.
"Around that time, animal sacrifice, as a mode of religious worship,
stopped for Jews, Christians and Muslims," said the rabbi from the
Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, according to AP. "Moving back
in that direction is not progress," he added.
According to mainstream Jewish thought, animal sacrifices must not be
carried out outside of Temple, which itself cannot be rebuilt by
human
endeavor, but will be rebuilt upon the arrival of the messiah.
