SPECIAL VIDEO PRESENTATION
The Bar Kochva Revolt — The Rise & Fall of a Moshiach
by world-reknowned lecturer, Rabbi YY Jacobson
The 55 minute lecture, by world renowned lecturer Rabbi YY Jacobson, combines history, mystery, and inspiration, and is animated with many historical images to educate, entertain and engage. This video offers a glimpse into one of the major events that transpired on Tisah B'Av and its message today.
In 130 CE, the third Jewish revolt against Rome erupted. It continued for six years with enormous losses for Rome. On Tisah B’Av 135 CE it was crushed. Who was the man who led the revolt? Why did he fail? Why do we recall this story each day?
Join us on Saturday night, following the evening service and reading of Eichah (Lamentations), for this fascinating lecture.
