They restored Jewish worship in the temple
In 63BC, the Roman Empire took control of Judaea
They chose Jewish Kings loyal to Rome.
The people rebelled, and in AD 70, the Romans left the Temple in ruins
After the second Temple was destroyed, Rabbi Yohanan ben Zaccai founded a Jewish school in Yavneh south of Jerusalem
