Modern Sanhedrin plan to revive Temple Sacrifice

"...the action, even if merely symbolic, is designed to demonstrate in a way that is obvious to all that the expectation of Temple rituals [resuming] is real, and not just talk."

According to a recent article in Haaretz, the Jewish Sanhedrin, reformed and established several years ago, has reportedly purchased a herd of sheep which they hope to use for ritual sacrifice at the site of the Temple on the eve of Passover this year.

Sanhedrin member, Professor Hillel Weiss, told Haaretz that "the action, even if merely symbolic, is designed to demonstrate in a way that is obvious to all that the expectation of Temple rituals [resuming] is real, and not just talk."

The report states that a symbolic sacrifice was performed a few years ago, on Givat Hananya—overlooking the Temple Mount. A young goat, donated by a Tekoa resident, was sacrificed, while residents built a 2-meter-tall oven, according to specifications from the Jewish Law.

Some information in the last couple of years has also pointed toward the building of a third Temple in Jerusalem. There have been reports of architectural plans for the structure, in the works, as well as garments being made especially for the rituals.
