Jewish Temples
Jewish temples are places of worship in the Jewish faith, primarily associated with the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. The first temple, built by King Solomon, was a central place for sacrifices and religious gatherings. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian Exile.
The second temple was constructed in 516 BCE and stood until 70 CE when it was destroyed by the Romans. Today, the Western Wall, a remnant of the second temple, remains a significant site for Jewish prayer and pilgrimage, symbolizing the enduring connection to the ancient temple.
