(OPINION) As the World anticipates the news regarding the coming red heifer ritual sacrifice to move forward with the construction of the coming third temple, The Temple Institute in Israel has just made a recent announcement that may indicate that we are much closer to this event than previously thought.
According to the report, A young kohen recently seen visiting the red heifer candidates in Shiloh is reportedly fit to perform the red heifer ceremony.
He came into the world via home birth, has never set foot in a hospital or cemetery, and is therefore considered by halacha (Jewish law) to be of the highest level of Torah purity, having never contracted tum’at met (impurity imparted by contact with a corpse).
Should he opt to participate in the Temple Institute’s ongoing preparations in anticipation of the renewal of the ashes of the red heifer, he will undergo intense instruction and training.
