The Zealots. In 66 CE, against the advice of the Jewish Torah-sages, the Zealots led a rebellion in Judea against Roman authority in the province. Roman leaders responded by sending General Vespasian to crush the uprising. Vespasian put his son Titus in charge of the Roman troops in Judea. In AD 71, Titus put down the rebellion, burning the second Temple of Jerusalem and taking Jerusalem. Some Zealots fought on at Masada, a fortress overlooking the Dead Sea, but it was taken.

Which group of Jews led the fight to resist roman rule?

It was the group of Jews lead by Shimon Bar-Kokhba, around 132 CE.Answer:The group who fought Roman rule in 68 CE were the Zealots, led by Abba Sikra. They are mentioned in the Talmud (Gittin 56a) as being headstrong and irresponsible. The Torah-Sages cautioned them against taking action, but to no avail (ibid). Two generations later, it was Shimon Bar Kokhba who led an ill-fated rebellion against the Romans (135 CE), against the counsel of most of the Torah-Sages. In both cases, myriads of Jews were killed, thanks to the rebels' having ignored the Torah-sages.
