A:The gospels say that at the very moment Jesus died, the veil, or curtain, at the entrance to the Holy of Holies was rent from top to bottom ("And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom." - Mark 15:38).

The Temple veil, or curtain, was described in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5) by the historian, Josephus, who was a priest before 70 CE and would have been familiar with it. Josephus makes no mention of any damage to it, nor any evidence of repairs, as anyone familiar with the gospel account would expect.

The gospel account was actually written after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE and could therefore be expected to be the last word on the tearing of the veil, so it is only fortuitous that someone who knew about the appearance of the curtain before that time, chose to write in so much detail about it.

There is no historical record confirming whether the curtain in the Jerusalem temple was repaired or not after the death of Jesus. It is mentioned in The Bible that the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom at the moment of Jesus' death, symbolizing the access to God being opened to all people through Jesus.

Did Jews repair the temple veil after Jesus death?

The Jews seem to have been unaware that the Temple veil was torn at the time of Jesus' death. They made no record of this happening, nor of it being repaired, yet such a momentous event would surely have been mentioned somewhere, if only in correspondence. When Josephus, formerly a priest in the Jerusalem Temple, described the veil, he makes no mention of any visible damage or repair.Some scholars even doubt whether any of Jesus' followers would have been able to see the curtain.
