The Lost Temple at Passover refers to the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE and its significance in Jewish history and identity. During Passover, Jews commemorate the Exodus from Egypt, and the absence of the Temple highlights the longing for spiritual connection and redemption. The seder includes rituals and prayers that express this yearning, emphasizing themes of freedom and the hope for future restoration of the Temple. The loss serves as a poignant reminder of the Jewish people's resilience and enduring faith.
