We hope to see all the rituals return. In any case, considering that animal slaughter for non-sacrificial purposes is completely permitted, I see no reason why the sacrifice motive would arouse any additional opposition.

The animal welfare laws of Israel are as likely to be an obstacle to ritual sacrifice as the child welfare laws of Israel are to ritual circumcision.

Yup…it was called the Shamir. Think Yitzhak Shamir will still be alive to see the third Temple rebuilt? (in any case, I imagine modern technology can find a metal-less way to hew stones).

Thanks.
Hmmm-Lasers?
“Ye shall prepare a hollow rod, and the air within it shall not be that which is breathed by living creatures. It shall be the air thine scholars have prepared as the breath of fire. And thine scholars shall fashion two mirrors for to seal the ends of the rod. But, take heed. For the mirrors must be perfect and without flaw, defect, or imperfection. With this device, thou shalt focus the very light of creation. With this light, and no other tool, shalt though hew the stones for my Temple.”

So:

Where does this come from?

CM got it right. Though, lasers would cut the stones without metal ever touching them. Plus, Ilove the phrase “miracle of modern science”

You’ve got to admit that going back to your Shul and excitedly sharing photos of you in front of the famous Wailing Retaining Wall just doesn’t work, does it?

I supposed one could score lines along the sides of the stones with HARDER sharp edged stones, then drag the stones from Israel to the Arctic Circle. There, as ice slowly formed in the grooves, the ice would expand in the grooves and would cause the stones to split perfectly along those lines, therefore obeying g-d’s edict.

Or, one could order in from the Home Depot.
