Jerusalem Police arrest Jewish Man suspected of intent to slaughter goat
Jerusalem District police officers detained extreme right-wing activist Noam Federman Monday afternoon, after he was caught driving his vehicle with a kid a young, male goat - in his car.Federman is suspected of intending to ritually slaughter the animal in the recently renovated Hurva Synagogue located near the Temple Mount in the Old City. Police said right wing activists threatened repeatedly this week to come up to the Temple Mount and conduct ritual slaughter there during the Pessah holiday. The passover animal offering is one of the few not forbidden by virtue of the Kohanim being ritually impure (by virtue of proximity to dead bodies) and also it is the only one of those that is not funded by the ritual census Shekel collection (which is not done without a Temple) - thus it is the only animal offering that is 'ritually permitted' post Temple and without the red heifer 'cleasing' of impurity Posted by: lord garth 2010-03-29 |
