Sadducces
The Kohenim (priests), however, they weren't leaders of the Jewish people, they were in charge of the Temple.
The Saducees
No. There is no Temple in Jerusalem, so the sacrifices are not performed by the Kohanim or Jewish Priests. Judaism of today is primarily concerned with prayer.
The Roman destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem took place in 70 AD under the rule of the emperor Vespasian. The temple itself was destroyed by Titus, the son of Vespasian, who was the general in charge of the siege.
He wanted to expose the corruption of the Jerusalem Temple high priests and teach tolerance, care for the poor and the need to focus on a spiritual path to salvation rather than on the material world.
yes herod's temple is in Jerusalem
Your question is ambigious. Jesus said our body is His temple.
temple
Jesus was found in the temple in Jerusalem, known as the Temple of Jerusalem or the Temple of Solomon.
No they were not priests at all. As the temple was not there then.
The Kohanim (כוה×?ים) were the ancient Jewish priests that served in the Temple in Jerusalem up until the year 70 C.E. The singular form is Kohen (כהן)Note: This word is not used for any other type of priests, such as Catholic priests, which are called Komerim.
The question should read "what Israeli tribe was in charge of the Temple?" as there are 13 tribes if you count the Levites, who are hereditary priesthood, and set apart for Temple service. Thus, Levites are the ones "in charge". Cohanim, or priests, are all Levites. It is a common misunderstanding that Jews are all of Israel, but a review of Bible and of history reveals there were 13 tribes, only one of them named Judah, from that son of Israel the patriarch. One tribe from each son of his.
