[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

The Temple Institute has released a video of a Korban Pesach practice event in preparation for the Pesach. The Temple Institute’s “Kohanim Training Academy” a division of the organization that teaches and prepares Kohanim for the Beis Hamikdash avoda organized the event, which was the most accurate and authentic reenactment of this service to have taken place in nearly 2,000 years.

In the video, viewers can see Kohanim in their white uniforms preparing the offering according to precise Biblical commandments using the sacred vessels that were recreated by the Temple Institute, after decades of research.

Rabbi Chaim Richman, International Director of the Temple Institute and narrator of the video explained: “It is unconscionable and untenable that the Jewish people are prevented from conducting their Biblically-mandated Korban Pesach on Har Habayis as required by Halacha. The Korban Pesach is the very essence of not only the holiday but also of our Jewish identity. We hope this video connects Jews worldwide to the true meaning of Pesach.”

He added: “We call on all of Israel to study and discuss the Korban Pesach and make it the central theme of their Seder. The concept of the Korban Pesach is synonymous with Israel’s bold stand against all forms of idolatry. Only by understanding the true nature of the Passover experience can we hope to fulfill our Divine calling to be a light to the nations and celebrate yomtov properly in the rebuilt Jerusalem.”
