NEWS FLASH: Red Heifer Born in Israel!

In these days of difficulty for the Land of Israel, there is encouraging
news as well..
.
It can now be revealed that less than one month ago, a red heifer was born
in Israel. After the heifer's owner contacted the Temple Institute, on
Friday, April 5th, 2001, Rabbi Menachem Makover and Rabbi Chaim Richman
traveled to the farm where the heifer is located, to inspect and validate
her status. The rabbis found her to be kosher and were satisfied that this
heifer could indeed be a candidate to be used in the process of purification
described in the book of Numbers, chapter 19. This is a prerequisite for the
rebuilding of the Holy Temple.

Tradition records that a red heifer in our generation is a herald of the
Messianic era. It is certainly an important development towards the
rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Our sages taught that Israel's redemption can
be compared to the dawn. "In the beginning, it progresses very slowly...but
as it continues, it grows brighter and brighter."
