🇮🇱 — The Temple Institute has not succeeded in producing a red heifer that meets the religious requirements for sacrifice, despite over twenty years of intensive breeding efforts in both Israel and the United States.

➡️In a recent Facebook post, the Israeli organization admitted that “all our efforts so far have been frustrated by the appearance of more than one non-red hair on all our potential candidates.” This issue has led to the disqualification of all the red heifers, including those brought from Texas, as they do not meet the strict halachic (Jewish legal) criteria.

➡️Jewish law dictates that the red heifer must be sacrificed on the Mount of Olives, directly facing the Temple Mount. This specific location allows the priest conducting the ritual to see into the area of the Holy of Holies, as it is directly east of the Temple site. The ashes from the sacrificed red heifer are essential for ritual purification, a prerequisite for rebuilding the Temple and restarting sacrificial worship. Orthodox Jews affiliated with the Temple Institute believe that the arrival of the Moshiach, or messiah, will follow the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem and the reinstatement of these ancient rites.
