EARLY HISTORY

• Around 1000 B.C., King David ruled the Jewish people. His son Solomon built the first holy Temple in Jerusalem, which became the central place of worship for Jews.
• The kingdom fell apart around 931 B.C., and the Jewish people split into two groups: Israel in the North and Judah in the South.
• Sometime around 587 B.C., the Babylonians destroyed the first Temple and sent many Jews into exile.

EARLY HISTORY

• A second Temple was built in about 516 B.C. but was eventually destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.
• The destruction of the second Temple was significant because Jewish people no longer had a primary place to gather, so they shifted their focus to worshipping in local synagogues.
