Aleinu is the prayer that was said by the High Priest when Musaf was recited. There is a second part of the prayer, but it was not originally part of Aleinu. The two lines in italics have been restored to most current Orthodox prayer books.
It is our duty to praise the Master of all,
to acclaim the greatness of the One who forms all creation.
For God did not make us like the nations of other lands,
and did not make us the same as other families of the Earth.
God did not place us in the same situations as others,
and our destiny is not the same as anyone else's.
For they bow down to vanity and emptiness,
and pray to a god who does not save.
And we bend our knees, and bow down,
and give thanks, before the Ruler, the Ruler of Rulers,
the Holy One, Blessed is God.
The One who spread out the heavens, and made the foundations of the Earth,
and whose precious dwelling is in the heavens above,
and whose powerful Presence is in the highest heights.
Adonai is our God, there is none else.
Our God is truth, and nothing else compares.
As it is written in His Torah:
"And you shall know today, and take to heart,
that Adonai is the only God,
in the heavens above
and on Earth below. There is no other."

Who went into the holy of holies in the temple in Jerusalem?
There hasn't been a temple in Jerusalem for 1932 years. When it did exist and was the central focus of the Jewish religion and culture, the single individual to ever enter the Holy of Holies was the Kohen Gadol ("high priest"), and he did so exactly one time in the year ... as a part of the service on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).

He entered by walking in. During the Yom Kippur service in the Holy Temple, the Kohen Gadol entered the Kodesh Kodashim (Holy of Holies) several times, to sprinkle the blood of the goat and the bull, to offer up the incense, and (later the same day) to remove the incense-burner. For more detail, see Leviticus ch.16.

What happens if the High priest dies in the most holy how does he get out?
they would tie a rope around his wast so if he dies in the Temple they can pull him out In the Second Temple period, some people who were unfit took the position of High Priest. When they entered the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, they died, since they lacked the ability to handle the spiritual power of that place. The other priests had to devise a plan to pull the dead body out, since no one other than the High Priest was allowed to enter in the Holy of Holies. So they tied a golden rope to the High Priest's leg when he entered the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur. Those waiting outside the Holy of Holies would listen for the bells on the bottom of the High Priest's robe, to see if he was still alive. (sources: Zohar - Acharei Mot 67a, Emor 102a; Talmud - Yoma 53b; Me'am Loaz; Arbanel - Exodus 28:33)
Is there confession of sins in Judaism?
Yes. There is a prayer called the vidui, which is recited most notably on Yom Kippur, the yearly Day of Atonement. It is also traditionally recited on one's wedding day and at the end of life. The vidui (lit., confession), catalogs a wide range of transgressions that a person may be guilty of. There is, however, in Judaism no confession of sins to a priest like there is in Catholicism.
What phrase is used to explain the most chamber in a temple?
In the biblical temple, the innermost chamber was called 'the Holy of Holies'. This was the place where the Ark of the Covenant sat and G-d resided. Incidentally, the Western Wall, which is the last relic of the temple, formed one side of the holy of holies. Since only the High Priest was allowed there and only on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) some ultra-orthodox Jews will not go near the wall for fear of judgement.
