There has been no red heifer news for 6 months, everything published is guesswork right now. One or more heifers will be slaughtered on the prepared altar at a date and time of the owners' choosing. My guess is that this must at least involve (1) formal rabbinical clearance of the Texas origin and the Gentile ownership, which I haven't seen yet; (2) formal rabbinical clearance of one heifer being of age and faultless in color and history, with the sacrificed scheduled before the clearance expires; (3) sufficient security to perform the act, which requires protection against flash-mob risks that might spoil the purity, which seems to require a ceasefire and a formal IDF completion of objectives.

So I said not this month. Now one of the premier red-heifer researchers is Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz, who I can attest from experience has been tracking heifers over 7 years. And I found that as of yesterday, he is ticked! He insists, with receipts (CBS), that everyone who is promoting the soon-coming narrative is making it up: exactly as I've been saying. But there is no news about intent or likelihood, there is only continuing speculation about the difficulties such as I outline.
