The term "Jewish Wars" primarily refers to a series of conflicts between the Jewish people and the Roman Empire during the first and second centuries CE. The most notable of these conflicts include the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE), which resulted in the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE), a major uprising against Roman rule.
These wars were driven by a combination of religious, political, and social factors, as Jewish communities sought to resist Roman oppression and maintain their cultural identity. The aftermath of these conflicts significantly impacted Jewish history, leading to the dispersion of Jewish populations and the development of Rabbinic Judaism.
