    Federman was stopped by police at the gates of the Temple Mount, and taken to the nearby police station by squad car.

    After his investigation, Federman was released with his children, aged 12, 10 and seven-years-old, that accompanied him to the holy site.

    Police banned Federman from going near the Old City in Jerusalem for one week.

    “It’s a disgrace that the police prevent Jews from keeping the Passover sacrifice mitzvah,” Federman said.

    “Detectives came and claimed I was violating a court order. I asked them which order and they said ‘you’ll see it at the station’. There, it turned out there was no order, but I was detained for questioning because of conduct that could have disturbed the peace,” he continued.

    Federman added that his goat had also been confiscated, and that he would demand to get it back: “I brought that goat from my farm, I chose the best goat I had, of the Alpine species.”

    It’s a big chesed to him that he was arrested. He would have violated 2 Torah commandments which require death in the hands of Heaven. Slaughtering a sacrifice outside of the bais hamikdosh and sprinkling the blood outside of the bais hamikdosh.

    He knew that they were going to stop and arrest him; he just wanted to make a scene.

    The Rambam says a korban Pesach should be brought even without a Bais Hamikdash.

    Are you all seriously overlooking the fact that he tried to bring a GOAT for the korban which is notably done with a LAMB…..?

    So to sum up all the other posts: This guy is a nutcase and we all hope he has a chag kasher v’samayach in an appropriate institution. I also hope someone is kind enough to invite his wife and children to their sedorim.

    i don’t claim to be a great scholar but beside all the other shailos, aren’t we all considered to be in a state of impurity and therefore unable to bring korbanos?don’t we all need the tenth para aduma before korbanos can resume?

    perhaps the physical structure of the beis hamikdosh was destroyed, but it spiritual presence shines on forever.

    I dont see the probelm with what this man tried to do.Perhaps he felt the shechina of the beis hamikdosh and wanted to bring a korban pesash.More power to him !

    Accoding to the sdei gemel on hilchos kobonos in perek tes he concludes that you are absolutely not allowed to bring a korbon bzman hazei.

    I wish all the goat carrying members of Karbanos Today well. What I wonder is if this kind of extremism is any different than the garden variety, eat matzah with my ham and cheese variety to celebrate passover version of extremism, just in the other direction.

    in yeshiva I was taught that davening has replaced the need to bring korbanos….

    if we need to be in a pure state to bring a korban (and perhaps only the ashes of the porah adumah can remove our impurity) then perhaps we should not be allowed to daven?

    just food for thought.

    have a happy pesach everyone !

    For those who have posted harshly against others in this thread, please remember that if the Torah were to be told while standing on one foot it would be “love your fellow neighbor” – that means be respectful of the opinions of your fellow Yiddin folks!

    Besides all the mentioned (that can be solved according to some), the main problem with Korban Pesach in our days is the Mizbeach. We need:

    1.) the exact spot (too bad the british archeologists were not allowed to do excavations there 100 years ago)

    2.) Mizbeach built by the whole eidah or its representatives (Sanhedrin or a king (and maybe a government elected by majority of people). A private mizbeach on the correct location is still a bamah (according to most poskim I know, I still haven’t find an opposing view).

    Anyway, from the comments above I see we are not ready for the korban since we don’t know the basic halachos (i.e. what animal can be used). Let us all be fluent in the basic halachos of kodshim! There is a wondeful sefer around called Avodas Hakorbanos, it has a short halacha yomis for every day. It was a project of the Chofetz Chaim, written by his son-in-law (with enthusiastic haskamos from R’ Chaim Ozer and R’ Chaim Brisker, the new edition has a bracha and praises from R’ Chaim Kanievsky) . You can find it in two formats (pocket, full size) in most seforim stores (or they can order it for you).
