PHOTO-SPREAD: Dedication of Altar for Third Temple

December 11, 2018

3 min read

On Monday, the Sanhedrin hosted the dedication of the altar for the Third Temple, marking the event with a full-dress reenactment of the Korban Tamidi (eternal offering).

The altar was made of aerated concrete and constructed on a metal frame specifically designed to be loaded on a flatbed truck. Though not ideal, it is entirely kosher for use in the Temple service.

Special vessels have also been prepared to be ready at a moment’s notice should the need arise to jumpstart the Temple service. The menorah in the photos below is constructed of wood. Though not ideal, it is kosher for use in the Temple and can be carried by one person. The laver is also kosher though it is significantly different than the Sea of Solomon that was used in the Temple to wash the hands and feet of the priests.
