This is a particularly compelling example, as it is not possible just to rule strictly on this issue because if one does not cook the Korban Pesach with the Gid Hanashe, one has failed to properly prepare the entire animal according to the Rambam, and if one does cook the Gid Hanashe the animal is not Kosher according to the Raavad.<BR/><BR/>Conclusion<BR/>It seems that the Rambam (Hilchot Melachim 11:1) may provide a clear answer to this question. He writes that Mashiach will build the Bait Hamikdash and Korbanot will be offered. It is possible that the Rambam is telling us a fact: that only when Mashiach comes will Korbanot be offered. In fact, when this author asked Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, zt"l, what he felt about this subject, the Rav responded immediately by quoting this Rambam that Mashiach will build the Bait Hamikdash. Interestingly, Rav Soloveitchik told this author (in 1984) that this Rambam shows that those who want to build the third Bait Hamikdash today are incorrect.<BR/><BR/>==========================<BR/>That's an interesting consideration.<BR/><BR/>I wonder whether you had Rabbi Soloveitchik in mind when you wrote, in an earlier post:<BR/><BR/>"The State of Israel is the redemption of the Jewish people. Not the "beginning of the redemption." Not the "beginning of the blossoming of the redemption."<BR/><BR/>It is the actual, historical, theological, political, social and cultural redemption of the Jewish people.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who denies this is not in touch with reality. Anyone who hedges about it with language that is wishy-washy and ambivalent and preliminary - is just a redemption denier."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
