It depends on what you are asking about.

The Jews (Yahudi People) never captured the Great Temple in Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis). They built it both the first and second times.

If the question is asking how Jews conquered Jerusalem the first time, it was a fortress-city ruled by the Jebusites, who, according to The Bible, King David defeated and used as his capital city roughly 3000 years ago.

If the question is asking how Israel conquered Jerusalem, this happened as part of Arab-Israeli War of 1967 or the Six Day War. On June 9, 1967, Israeli forces encircled the Old City with armored divisions and sent paratroopers into the Old City itself. The Jordanian forces fought, but were routed from the city, leading to the Israeli capturing the Old City and the Temple Mount.
