Grade 7 Lesson 10 - Rabbinic times (Talmud - Rabbinic Times) (All Assignments) >> __//**I believe that verses 6 and 18 are agreeable with my moral standards.**//__ __//**Verse 6 says that you should judge a man by his personality and verse 18 says that we should work for peace. Verse 6 means a lot to me because to know someones personality is to truly know them as a person instead of judging them by their looks which is less meaningful. Almost all the rest I disagree with, but the two I picked out are 15 and 4 because they are both almost totally base off of religious principals (the Torah).**//__

 * History
 * The [|Great Jewish Revolt] against [|Roman occupation], 66 to 70, ended with destruction of the [|Second Jerusalem Temple] and the [|fall of Jerusalem]. The [|Sanhedrin]was relocated to Yavneh and allowed by the Romans to continue to rule in religious matters.
 * With the destruction of the temple, the priests lost their jobs and authority. Why?
 * //**The priests lost their authority to the sages after the fall of the second temple, because the Romans would not allow the Sanhedrin to be made up of the most powerful and influential people which were almost all priests. The Romans killed most of the Sanhedrin forcing the survivors to flee Jerusalem to Mesopotamia.
