3/16/97 - Sunday Telegraph (London)
According to London's Sunday Telegraph
of March 16, 1997, a team of rabbinical experts have confirmed the birth of a red
heifer. Such an animal is necessary for purification of the temple site according
to Numbers 19:2-7.
Rabbinical teaching states that, since Herod's Temple was
destroyed in 70 A.D., no flawless red heifer has been born in Israel.
According
to the article, the heifer, which is 6 months old now, must be at least 3 years old
before it can be used in a ritual sacrifice.
