chazan michael plaskow asked:
Are we speaking about the cohen breaking his leg in the footrace in the first Bet Hamikdash and after this incident the Payis was instituted? Or did this happen in the second bet hamikdash?

The Kollel replies:
It was right before the destruction of the Second Temple, as is evident from Rav Tzadok's presence at the time (Yoma 23a).
Be well,
Mordecai Kornfeld
