The Falling of the Second Temple: A Pivotal Point in Jewish History

The exact age of the Jewish faith has room for discussion, but there is certain one It is a belief with a broad, sometimes embarrassing history. Through Jewish history, Jews face constant persecution and discrimination. Despite these contradictions, beliefs still exist, are strong and growing. As with many religions facing adversity, Judaism must adapt to a changing world to maintain faith. The important moment of change, the collapse of the second temple, the opportunity to destroy Judaism, the Jews gathered and reformed their religious beliefs to save their faith.

The destruction of the 2nd temple in the 70th century became a turning point for the history of the Jews. Because there is no temple, the synagogue has become the center of the life of the Jews. When the temple was destroyed, the reaction of the Jews was to be more faithful to Torah's commandments. The synagogue replaced the temple as a central meeting place, and Rabbi replaced the high priest as leader of the Jewish community. Due to the dominance of ramen after the Christian era, this era is known as the rabbi era. After a great rebellion, Lavis filled the gap of the Jewish leader and created a new Judaism through their literature and teaching.

In the majority of the first millennium in the history of Jews animals were sacrificed and there were temples in which people at least (three) worshiped at least three times a year. After the second sanctuary of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in the first century, the relationship of Jewish life was transferred to the synagogue where the community gathered to pray on a regular basis. About 4000 years ago, G - d promised Abraham (the first Jew) to have his children live in this land. Even if Jews were expelled to the furthest corner of the planet, we will never stop praying for a return to Israel as a united nation. In Israel, the most sacred city is Jerusalem. The most sacred place in Jerusalem is the hill of the temple. Jews do not usually pray here. Therefore, the west wall of the temple hill is the focus of our prayers and public consciousness.
