The Romans destroyed the Second Temple and temporarily outlawed Torah-observances. They destroyed large numbers of Jewish communities in the Holy Land, razed Jerusalem, renamed the country, and killed some of the leading Jewish sages.

The Romans besieged Jerusalem. The siege was long. The Romans tried to negotiate surrender, but the Zealots prevented the people of Jerusalem from surrendering. When the city was taken, the Romans destroyed it and the Temple. A large number of people were killed and 97,000 were enslaved and taken to Rome. The Romans then took Masada, the last stronghold of resistance by the Sicarii in a fortification on top of a table mountain. The Sicarii burnt the place and committed mass suicide when the Romans were about to take Masada.

The Western Wall or Wailing Wall is the most accessible remaining piece of the Temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70. It isn't the Temple itself, but just the retaining wall that held up that side of the terrace around the Temple. Still, huge portions of the Jewish liturgy are focused on the Temple. Jews are supposed to face the Temple when praying, the daily prayer services in the liturgy serve to recall the sacrificial services in the Temple, and the Hebrew scriptures is, in large part, a history of the Temple. There is much more to Judaism than the memory of the Temple, but much of the rest is layered on top of that memory.
