Have you ever wondered how the Jewish people became a nation of diaspora, living for centuries without a homeland? Learn the answer to this question in our audiobook about the Bar Kokhba Revolt, the last great Jewish uprising against Rome!
Take a journey through the ancient history of the Jewish people, a proud and stubborn people who desired to retain their freedom and uniqueness. They fought for this ideal for centuries with various success, but then came the mighty Roman Empire. At first, the Romans were their allies, but they eventually conquered the Jewish state into their vast realm.
However, the Jewish yearning for liberty wasn’t easily extinguished, and they began rebelling against their new overlord. Even after two failed attempts, their spirits weren’t broken.
