nd of trumpet in the afternoon of the approach and on the following evening of the close of every seventh day closely resembling what the talmud says 111 walls and gates of the temple complex after 1967 archaeologists found that the wall extended all the way around the temple mount and is part of the city wall near the lions gate thus the remaining part of the temple mount is not only the western wall currently robinson s arch named after american edward robinson remains as the beginning of an arch that spanned the gap between the top of the platform and the higher ground farther away visitors and pilgrims also entered through the still extant but now plugged gates on the southern side that led through colonnades to the top of the platform the southern wall was designed as a grand entrance 112 recent archaeological digs have found numerous mikvehs ritual baths for the ritual purification of the worshipers and a grand stairway leading to one of the now blocked entrances 112 underground structures inside the walls the platform was supported by a series of vaulted archways now called solomon s stables which still exist their current renovation by the waqf is extremely controversial 113 quarry on september 25 2007 yuval baruch archaeologist with the israeli antiquities authority announced the discovery of a quarry compound that may have provided king herod with the stones to build his temple on the temple mount coins pottery and an iron stake found proved the date of the quarrying to be about 19 bce how archaeologist ehud netzer confirmed that the large outlines of the stone cuts is evidence that it was a massive public project worked by hundreds of slaves 114 floor tiling from courts more recent findings from the temple mount sifting project include floor tiling from the second temple period 115 magdala stone interpretation the magdala stone is thought to be a representation of the second temple carved before its destruction in the year 70 116 destruction of the temple main article siege of jerusalem 70 ce siege and destruction of jerusalem by the romans 1850 painting by david roberts looking southwest in 66 ce the jewish population of judaea launched a rebellion against the roman empire four years later on the hebrew calendrical date of tisha b av either 4 august 70 117 or 30 august 70 118 roman legions under titus retook and destroyed much of jerusalem and herod s temple josephus while an apologist for the empire claims the burning of the temple was the impulsive act of a roman soldier despite titus s orders to preserve it whereas later christian sources traced to tacitus suggest that titus himself authorized the destruction a view currently favored by modern scholars though the debate persists 119 historical accounts relate that not only the jewish temple was destroyed but also the entire lower city of jerusalem 120 even so according to josephus titus did not totally raze the towers such as the tower of phasael now erroneously called the tower of david keeping them as a memorial of the city s strength 121 122 the midrash rabba eikha rabba 1 32 states that rabban yohanan ben zakkai asked emperor vespasian to spare the westernmost gates of the city hebrew פילי מערבאה which lead to lydda lod according to the midrash when the city was eventually taken the arab auxiliaries who fought alongside the romans under their general fanjar spared that westernmost wall from destruction 123 the arch of titus which was built in rome to commemorate titus s victory in judea depicts a roman triumph with soldiers carrying spoils from the temple including the temple menorah according to an inscription on the colosseum emperor vespasian built the colosseum with war spoils in 79 possibly from the spoils of the second temple 124 the sects of judaism that had their base in the temple dwindled in importance including the priesthood and the sadducees 125 the golden vessels from the temple were publicly displayed in the temple of peace a monumental complex completed by vespasian in 75 ce this display formed part of a broader collection of imperial trophies and artworks 126 in contrast the torah scroll and the purple temple curtains were not exhibited but instead deposited and guarded in vespasian s residence later traditions and historical sources trace the possible movement of these objects across the ancient world a jewish tradition attributed to rabbi eliezer ben jose dated to around 170 ce claims he saw a golden diadem and the temple curtain in rome possibly in the imperial treasury 127 in the 6th century the byzantine historian procopius reported that the treasures of the jews captured by titus had been looted from rome by the vandal king geiseric in 455 ce and taken to carthage 128 127 these were later recovered by the byzantine general belisarius in 533 ce and paraded in a triumphal procession in constantinople 128 127 alarmed by a jewish observer s warning that the objects belonged only in their original sacred location emperor justinian ordered their transfer to christian churches in jerusalem 128 127 the ultimate fate of the temple treasures remains uncertain some later medieval sources claim they remained in rome while others suggest they may have been lost during the persian sack of jerusalem in 614 ce if they had remained in the city 127 although jews continued to inhabit the destroyed city emperor hadrian established a new roman colonia called aelia capitolina at the end of the bar kokhba revolt in 135 ce many of the jewish communities were massacred and jews were then banned from entering jerusalem 29 a roman temple was set up on the former site of herod s temple for the practice of roman religion legacy part of a series on jews

rebuild the temple and jerusalem one such piyyut jewish liturgical poem recited on yom kippur is avodah a poetic depiction of the high priest s ritual on that day 129 the destruction of the first and second temples is commemorated on tisha b av a major jewish fast day that has been called the saddest day in the jewish calendar 130 131 leading up to this a three week period of mourning is observed during which weddings and haircuts are forbidden and many jews abstain from eating meat during the nine days at the beginning of the month of av 129 verses 5 and 6 of psalm 137 and the words if i forget thee o jerusalem are customarily recited during a jewish wedding ceremony shortly before breaking a glass as a symbolic act of mourning over the destruction of the temple even when at a time of greatest joy 132 in late medieval europe jewish brides would often wear a large decorative ring symbolizing the temple while grooms would place ashes on their heads to commemorate the destruction 129 present day view of the temple mount looking southwest with the golden dome of the rock visible center and the al aqsa mosque to the left beyond some trees parts of the old city of jerusalem can be seen surrounding the mount the hope for the rebuilding of jerusalem and the temple is a central theme in jewish prayer art and life cycle events consistently expressed through various cultural and religious practices 133 a tradition dating back to the talmud bava batra 60b requires that a patch of wall in a new home near the front door and measuring approximately 18 by 18 inches 46 by 46 cm be left unfinished or unpainted as a perpetual reminder and a sign of mourning for the destruction of the temple 134 jewish eschatology includes a belief that the second temple will be replaced by a
