A Temple Mount Moment: Lag B'Omer, Rabbi Akiva & the Second Jewish Revolt!
Lag B'Omer, which begins Monday evening, marks the end of a "plague" that took the lives of Rabbi Akiva's 24,000 students. That plague was nothing less than the war that Shimon bar Kochba, with the support of Rabbi Akiva and his students, who enlisted in bar Kochba's army, waged against the Roman empire in 132 C.E., following emperor Hadrian’s betrayal of the Jews and his intention to build a pagan temple atop the Temple Mount. Rabbi Akiva, his 24,00 students and hundreds of thousands of Jews all lost their lives in the unsuccessful revolt.
A Temple Mount Moment is the joint project of the Temple Institute and High on the Har. Temple Mount experts and co founders of High on the Har, Dr. Melissa Jane Kronfeld and Rabbi Yehuda Levi present each week fascinating facts and insights about the Temple Mount and the Holy Temple, its past, present and future!
