Moshiach has come! Euphoria reigns in the streets of Yerushalayim! The 3rd Bais HaMikdash is finally being rebuilt! After 2,000 years of painful exile and oppression, the dreams of our long-suffering nation are being realized.
Soon, however, it becomes apparent that there is a significant problem that must be addressed immediately. There are not enough Kohanim who are capable of performing the avodah! Most have never studied the laws pertaining to the Temple service, and even those who have, were unable to physically practice to adequately prepare for this momentous occasion. Imagine the shame that the Jewish people will face if the dedication ceremony is delayed due to a lack of capable participants!
The ceremony is currently scheduled for no other day than Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement! The holiest day of the Jewish calendar will once again play a major historical role in Jewish history (remember, Moshe descended from Har Sinai with the 2nd set of luchos on Yom Kippur as well)!
You and your colleagues have been appointed by Moshiach himself to ensure that a substantial number of Kohanim are prepared in time for the avodah of Yom Kippur. Each member of your group possesses a specific area of expertise that will collectively allow you to train sufficient Kohanim for their holy task. By profession your group consists of:
|
A fashion designer who will arrange both sets (‘gold’ and ‘white’) of priestly garments that are to be used |
A ritual slaughterer who will train the Kohanim in the sacrificial components of the service, including the ketores (incense)
|
A tour guide who will prepare the Kohanim in the proper sequence of the avodah, including the 2 visits into the Holy of Holies.
|
An aquanaut who will review the sequence and location of all of the priestly washings and immersions
|
A philosopher who will explain the underlying ideas behind the Yom Kippur service to the Kohanim
