Under The Radar: Sanhedrin Launches In Tiberias
The ancient Jewish legal tribunal, the Sanhedrin, has recently been relaunched in Tiberias by the same people who brought you the reconstituted Temple menorah and the red heifer, The Temple Institue.
Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, who heads the Temple institute in Jerusalem, is one of the participating rabbis. He told Arutz-7 today, “Whether this will be the actual Sanhedrin that we await, is a question of time – just like the establishment of the State; we rejoiced in it, but we are still awaiting something much more ideal. It’s a process. Today’s ceremony is really the continuation of the renewal of the Ordination process in Israel, which we marked several months ago. Our Talmudic Sages describe the ten stages of exile of the Sanhedrin from Jerusalem to other locations, until it ended in Tiberias – and this is the place where it was foretold that it would be renewed, and from here it will be relocated to Jerusalem.”
I hope y’all are ready for the reinstitution of capital punishment and temple sacrifice! Mmm, barbarism: It’s the wave of the future!
