Going back to the sacrificial system is not so simple. Keep in mind that, for the most part, Temple Judaism and Rabbinic Judaism were substantially different and had very little overlap. Temple Judaism ( TJ) was centralized in Jerusalem in general and the Bais Hamikdosh in particular. There were no shuls, until the very end, and other than the Monday Thursday laining established by Ezra, and the Shma no prayer services until the end. The shmone esreh was formulated late in the Temple period. So, if we return to TJ, shouldn’t that entail going back to TJ in all its forms?
