DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
During the most formative centuries of Jewish history, the ancient Temple and its service was central to the life and imagination of Jews everywhere. The Temple, considered to be not only a national shrine but also God’s house, was considered the very center of the universe. In the aftermath of its destruction, Judaism reinvented itself, but the memory and myth of the Temple continued to live on in Jewish consciousness. Through prayer and study, architecture and philosophy, mysticism and poetry, the Temple remains a vital referent to many aspects of Jewish life. Explore the history of the First and Second Temples through the literature that sought to reflect their significance and compensate for their loss. Analyze the fascinating record of the human longing for sacred space.=0D=0A=
