This significant historical moment, part of the First Jewish-Roman War, marked the end of Jewish political autonomy in ancient Judea and initiated the Jewish Diaspora, profoundly shaping Jewish identity and memory.

📖 Event Overview:
The First Jewish-Roman War was sparked by Jewish resistance to Roman rule. In 70 CE, Roman General Titus led a brutal siege on Jerusalem.
