There have been two eras in the history of the Jews in Israel that centered around the physical Temple in Jerusalem.

  • The first ended with the destruction of the first temple by the Babylonians, in 586 BCE.
  • The second ended with the destruction of the second temple by the Romans, in 70 AD.

21st Century Jews, with a sense of history, look forward to a renewed national and spiritual identity centered around a third temple in Jerusalem either physical or spiritual, depending on the Jewish denomination.
