| Good question. I always assumed it was after the destruction of the
Temple in 70 A.D. by the Roman Empire.
There is a book I will be reading one of these days called Josephus.
Having lived around that time, perhaps he can give insight into this.

| Animal sacrifices were only done in the temple, once there was a
temple. Once there was no more temple there was no proper place to
hold sacrifices. Things were less formal before there was a temple
and it's never been explained to me why they didn't go back to being
less formal.

| A major hope of Israel is to restore the temple (now that
they've been essentially restored as a nation). I expect
that those who were most interested in the sacrifices
(the devout conservative) were also most adamant that these
be done in the Temple (rather than a return to a portable
tent meant for the wandering times). To some extent, it
denies the hope of the future if you wish to start
sacrifices somewhere other than the Temple.
Sacrifices will start again. It is prophesied. The only
question is when.

| I was reading Leviticus 1-5 last night. I'm not one of those PC
animal rights advocates, and I found the animal offering instructions,
well, nothing I would relish carrying out.
Pax,
