Learn MoreOur Origin Story
by Rabbi David Zaslow
Almost 2,000 years ago the Romans destroyed our holy Temple in Jerusalem. It’s fascinating that the Talmud does not blame the Romans for its destruction, but takes a look inward and puts the responsibility on ourselves. Our sages do not exonerate the Romans, and the horrors they committed are not excused. During what is called the Jewish Wars between 35 CE and 135 CE more than 1 million Jews were killed or died of starvation fighting for freedom against the Roman Empire. It is estimated that about 100,000 of these Jews were crucified in that period of time.
