Failed Revolutions and Pathways of Hope
The Roman Jewish Wars - the Great Revolt (66-73/4 CE) and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-136 CE) - were failed revolutions. Their impact has changed us forever, and there is no place like the Israel museum to bring those stories to life.

About the Event
How are we still here? After so many tragedies?
Learn about Herod the Great and how he rebuilt Jerusalem's Temple to rival the greatests temples in the Roman world. From the Fall of Jerusalem to the Fall of Beitar, there are very important lessons to learn from the coins, statues, structures and items that have been found from this period. In the end, we will see how some of them inspired the artists of the 19-20th centuries, as they envisioned the revival of the people of Israel in their homeland.
