@shitake555 Most Korbanot-offerings, are dependent upon the Kohanim (priests) & the people bringing them being in a pure state. Not so for the Pesach offering or the twice daily Tamid, Continual Offering, which we are obligated to bring even if the majority of the kohanim/nation is spiritually unclean. For 8 years the Lubavitcher Rebbe said Jews should leave Jrslm on Passover Eve as not to violate this. 8 years later he canceled the call saying the Temple Mount was no longer in our hands.
Sacrifice on the temple mount is dependent on the temple being present and operational. It is likely that if the temple will be reconstructed I will still oppose animal sacrifice. However, when Israel build the temporary walkway it was condemned by the wakf for harming the al aqsa mosque and work was halted. Now that the structure is unsafe and was closed down, Israel was condemned for preventing non Muslims from entering the compound. How ridiculous is that?
@iitvNews The tradition was to bring animals for sacrifice at the temple on pesach. The offering was burnt on the bama in front of the temple. Korban Pesach today is an attempt to revive the tradition without the temple. Regardless, I am still opposing it. Modern science and life taught us that those animals have a self awareness and feelings, something that was not understood in biblical times. There are many biblical rules we don't follow today such as stoning to death, and slavery.
