From the back cover: "What actually happened on the other side of the Kosel Maaravi? What transpired behind the gates and ramparts of the Beis Hamikdash? How was the holy Temple at the heart of Jewish religion and culture for nigh on a thousand years?...The nineteen chapters of Colorful Ceremonies in the Beis Hamikdash open a window and lift the veil on much of the mystery. All is revealed in enthralling detail and amplified in voluminous Hebrew endnotes; unfamiliar rituals are explained, familiar ceremonies come alive....Years of painstaking research, thought and care have been dedicated to preparing this volume and it should doubtless become indispensable to the Torah student and layman alike." Includes line drawings and diagrams throughout.
