Could the Second Temple's destruction have been prevented? Were the rebellions against Rome courageous or reckless? Which values are worth dying for? Through a close reading of Tractate Gittin 55 (Kamtza and Bar-Kamtza) and with input from contemporary thinkers, we'll try and understand what the story can tell us about politics, values and how to protect our hard won sovereignty.
