[Avodah] [Areivim] jews?

[Rich, Joel]

(BTW, RSRiskin once told us in HS that when he officiates at a geirus,
he requires that money be set aside for the olah. Animal sacrifice is
something the modern mind balks at, but is part of qabbalas ol mitzvos
even though we currently can't do them. Therefore RSR wants it to be
made real. I think, though, that this opens up halachic problems with
heqdeish. And all our questions about fiat money, particularly when the
money may just be wired from one account into an escrow with no physical
object involved at all.)
=========================

Hmmm. My recollection was that right after the churban this was the
practice and it was stopped for exactly the reason you outlined.
