Do jews still sacrifice animals?

Best Answers

It is still forbidden to bring sacrifices outside of the Holy Temple. We follow, today, the instructions taught us by King Solomon, the Prophet Hosea and the other Prophets, and we pray without bringing sacrifices. In addition, when we wish to bring a sacrifice, we study the Laws of the particular sacrifice we wish to bring. read more

Yes, some Jews still do practice animal sacrifice. Joshua Engel is correct that most sacrifices are tied to the temple, so no temple means no sacrifice. But he overlooks the korban pesach (Passover offering/sacrifice), which has nothing to do with the presence or absence of the temple and is still obligatory today. read more

With no blood sacrifice today, the Jews have no lawful way of atoning for their sin. Passover is still observed, but without the sacrifice. Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) is still on the calendar, but there is never an offering made for sin. read more
