Even though the Temple was destroyed, the Israelites offered sacrifices for countless generations before it was built. Look at Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they all offered sacrifices without the Temple; so did all the Judges, Samuel, Saul, and David. If David, the great king, didn't need one big central Temple, why do modern Jews? Didn't that Temple represent a monopolization of piety by the priestly caste?
