Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010, 7 pm
University of Colorado at Boulder
University Memorial Center, Room 382
Under the Roman rule in Judea and Provincia Judea (64 BCE - 135 CE) the Jewish population revolted a few time against the Roman occupation. This lecture by Professor Menachem Mor (http://www.jewishmovers.org/scholars-and-artists#menachem-mor), Dean of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Haifa, Israel, is devoted to the Bar Kochba revolt: the last revolt against the Romans. The Jewish defeat is the last attempt in which the Jews fought for their freedom. This lecture will examine the participants in the revolt, their political attitude and how we can relate the Bar Kochba revolt to the invention of Jewish radicalism.
