A new Sanhedrin?
Sanhedrin to be re-established in TiberiusFor the first time since the days of the Mishna and the Talmud in the fifth century, the Sanhedrin will be re-established in Tiberius.
After secretive preparations that lasted for over a year, the Sanhedrin - the Jewish "Supreme Court" that consisted of 71 Torah sages - will resume its operation after 1,500 years. The modern council will consist of dozens of rabbis who are to rule on Halachaic issues and draft new Jewish rules.
Anyone have more details on who is involved with this? We certainly do need to re-establish the Sanhedrin. But that level of legitimacy is hard to come by these days.

But Alex doesn't blame those with opposing viewpoints politically for the fracture within his people, but rather those remaining in the Diaspora out of preference. "I believe that the Jews choosing to remain in America are largely responsible for our lack of unity," he said. "Unity of our people doesn't mean we all have to think the same or agree on the issues, but it does mean we all have to return to the Land of Israel to fulfill our destiny. My father, whenever he goes back there to visit, he always tells people, 'if you would come here it would solve so many of the problems, not only metaphysically, but on paper.'"
True that. Emet. Selah!
