The arrival of five red heifers in Israel, intended to perform the Biblical ritual of purification, marked a major milestone in the return of the Temple Service. Controversy erupted when one of the red cows was burned in what some rabbinic authorities claimed was a practice event, while others insisted it was an actual burning, resulting in ashes that could be used to purify hundreds of thousands of people. One activist took another step forward when he enlisted a Kohen to mix the ashes with spring water, making it suitable for use, heating up the controversy that surrounds the ashes.
YouTuber Adam King released a video this week showing an Orthodox rabbi performing the ancient ritual of preparing water mixed with the ashes of the red heifer, the biblical purification process required before entering the Third Temple. The video, which quickly circulated among Temple activists and evangelical supporters of Israel, has reignited the conversation about when and how this rare commandment will be fulfilled in modern times.
