Check important information):1. Historical drive for sacrifice — From the Ba'alei HaTosafot to Rav Kalischer, there has been a continuous halakhic effort to return to the Temple Mount for Korban Pesach.2. Impurity is no barrier — Because Korban Pesach is treated with the status of a communal offering, the principle of tumah hutrah be-tzibur allows us to sacrifice even while ritually impure.3. Altar location is discoverable — While the Gemara (Zevachim 62b) mentions prophecy, Rav Kalischer argues that identifying the mizbe'ach location is possible today through precise measurement based on the Temple Mount's dimensions.4. Priesthood by chazakah — Despite the Rambam's stricter requirement for verified lineage, the Chatam Sofer and Aruch HaShulchan rule that our current kohanim are valid for service based on their established chazakah.5. Permission as the final hurdle — The Chazon Ish Clarified that if political permission (reshut) were granted, there would be no halakhic reason to delay bringing the Korban Pesach.6. Pesach vs. other offerings — The Korban Pesach is unique because it avoids certain restrictions, such as the requirement for special shekalim funds or the specific curse regarding rei'ach nichoach (pleasing aroma).
