Its reported that the Nascent Sanhedrin has selected a high priest for temple service for when the Jews are able to access the Temple Mount for worship of Jehovah.
Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the nascent Sanhedrin, told Breaking Israel News, “The only obstacle preventing the Temple service today is the political issue. If that should suddenly change, as it very well could, we would be required to begin the Temple service immediately. It is therefore necessary that we have a candidate prepared to fill the role of the high priest, especially now that we have kohanim prepared to serve in the Temple.”
It has been reported earlier that the Temple Institute announced a search for a select group of male kohanim, or members of the Jewish priestly class qualified to perform sacrifices; also announcing it was opening a school for training Levitical priests for their eventual service in a new temple.
