The rhythm of the Mikdash
קָרְבְּנוֹת צִבּוּר
The tamid, morning and afternoon
Musaf on Shabbos, Yom Tov and Rosh Chodesh
Private korbanos too — but the public service held the eye
A contested question
Whose Mikdash is it?
An ongoing tension between the chachamim, the perushim and the tzedukim.
How far could the people take part?
Could they enter the azara?
The kohanim often stood with the tzedukim
The dispute
Public money, or private gift?
Megillas Taanis records the machlokes.
The tzedukim — an individual may donate the tamid
The chachamim — the Mikdash belongs to all of Klal Yisrael
Settled for the chachamim — and celebrated eight days
