Max.
1:05:12
You're all right.
1:05:16
I'm Rabbi Cohen.
Cohen, like you.

1:05:21
I'm sorry for what Lenny did.
He's been reprimanded.

1:05:25
It's not our way. Are you OK?
1:05:29
Yeah.
1:05:34
Max, you have
to give us the number.

1:05:40
What is it?
1:05:46
The Talmud tells us
it began 2,000 years ago,

1:05:49
when the Romans destroyed
the second temple.

1:05:51
What is this?
1:05:54
Max, you'll understand
if you listen.

1:05:57
The Romans also destroyed
our priesthood, the Cohanim.

1:06:01
And with their deaths, they
destroyed our greatest secret.

1:06:05
In the centre of the temple
was the heart of Jewish life,

1:06:09
the holy of holies.
1:06:12
It was the earthly residence
of our God.

1:06:16
The one God.
1:06:19
It housed the Ark
of the Tabernacle,

1:06:22
which stored the original 10
Commandments

1:06:24
which God gave to Moses.
1:06:28
Only one man was allowed
to enter this holy of holies

1:06:32
on one day, the holiest day
of the year, Yom Kippur.

1:06:37
On the Day of Atonement,
1:06:38
all of lsrael
would descend upon Jerusalem

1:06:40
to watch the High Priest,
the Cohen Godul,

1:06:44
make his trip
to the holy of holies.

1:06:47
If the High Priest was pure,
he would emerge moments later

1:06:51
and we'd have a prosperous year.
1:06:54
It meant we were one year closer
to the Messianic age.

1:06:58
But, if he was impure,
he would die instantly
