- 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 an important development towards 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 Israelís
redemption can be compared to the dawn. "In the beginning, it progresses
very slowly...but as it continues, it grows brighter and brighter."
