The Great Jewish Revolt | The Jewish Story | Unpacked

While things seemed bad for the Jews of Judea following the destruction of the Second Temple, they were about to get so much worse. There were huge economic and social costs to the Jews’ ongoing rebellion against the Romans — not to mention a loss of life on a scale possibly not seen again until the 20th century. But despite the challenges, outstanding individuals rose to the fore. They kept Judaism alive and are still thought of as role models today.

The Jewish Story Explained is based on the book "Letters to Auntie Fori: 5,000 Years of Jewish History and their Faith" by Martin Gilbert
