What do it mean to go behind the veil?
Originally a reference to the Most Holy Place of the Jewish Temple where was the immediate presence of God. Only the High Priest cd enter, one time a year on the day of atonement after elaborate cleansing rituals
How did the high priest get through the veil to enter the holy of holies in the Jewish tabernacle?
The veil of the temple was 3 inches thick and if you study out the veil and the history of the temple, you will find that it was the spirit of God that did the transferring. Just as when you or anybody really prays beyond the flesh and enters into that secret place with God so it is with the holy of holies. If you were not holy or consecrated unto God you could not get through the veil. Not once is a high priest killed in the Holy of Holies if you study it out you will find that.The priest would wait at the veil and God would transfer them from one side to the other by means of his spirit "only" if they were holy and he accepted them because of it. If he did not except the sacrifice the priest couldn't even get through the veil. Its a wonderful experience because the priest had to have blood in one hand on a laver and a incense in the other to sprinkle the blood on the ark and to offer the incense as a sweet prayer from the people. Neither could touch the ground and there is no opening in the veil contrary to belief so the spirit of the Lord did it.Jewish answer:The above answer is replete with mistakes:1) There were two veils between the Holy of Holies and the sanctuary, not just one.2) No "transferring" took place. Rather, the easternmost veil was folded back a little bit on its southern end, and the westernmost veil was folded back a little on its northern end. The Kohen Gadol would enter between the veils at the southern fold. He would walk between the veils (there was about 15 inches of space between them) until he reached the northern end. There, the folded-back edge of the inner veil enabled him to enter the Holy of Holies. This is described explicitly in the Mishna and Talmud (Yoma 51b and 52b).3) The Kohen did not carry the blood and the incense at the same time.

What veil torn when Jesus died?
In the temple in Jerusalem was a veil that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. The Ark was in the Most Holy Place and this area was considered the place where God was available to man. The High Priest was the only person who could enter the Most Holy Place and that was just once a year on the Day of Atonement. Remember now, this Temple was mainly for the Jews and was used for animal sacrifices to God. When Jesus the Christ (Messiah) died on the cross at Calvary He ushered in a new economy or dispensation, which is know today as the "age of grace". The New Covenant was established this day and the old Covenant that God and Moses made with The Hebrew people ended. When the Old covenant was in effect it was the High Priest and priest's that communicated with God for the people. When the veil split into two pieces from the top to the bottom it signified that now instead of the priest's as the go between for God and Man, man can now go directly to God and speak for himself. But there is a catch to this. In order for man to talk to God he must be a follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus' death made talking to God possible and so you have to be a true disciple of Jesus to talk to God. God will not speak to or acknowledge an unbeliever. There is one exception and that is when an unbeliever has accepted Jesus as their Savior and are asking God to forgive their sins. God's ears are wide open for that type of prayer.

Was the veil in the holy of holies ever repaired?
Answer:Yes, the veil was repaired. It was replaced with the "veil of Christ's flesh.""Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, THROUGH THE VEIL, that is to say, HIS FLESH; and having an High Priest over the House of God; let us draw near with a True heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water..." (Heb.10:19-22).
Can Catholics intercede with God without a priest?
Certainly, Catholics are required to intercede directly with God. The priest is there as God's chosen emissary. Normally, when God is speaking directly with a person, He is speaking through some means: the Bible, the priest, the Mass, etc.
