Temple in Jerusalem

The Temple in Jerusalem refers to a sacred site central to Jewish worship and identity. There were two significant temples in ancient history: the First Temple, built by King Solomon, and the Second Temple, constructed after the Babylonian exile. The temples were places of sacrifice, prayer, and pilgrimage, housing the Ark of the Covenant. The Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, leading to major changes in Jewish practice. Today, the Western Wall, a remnant of the Second Temple, remains a pilgrimage site and symbolizes Jewish resilience and faith.
