I was born about 2000 years ago in Israel, and trained to be a priest in the Pharisaic tradition. It was a hard time, with the Roman occupation, and even among our own people there was much sinfulness. At times it seemed there was nothing we, as priests, could do about it, but we could at least take solace in the fact that we were fulfilling the precepts of the Law.
