With the destruction of the Temple, the Romans destroy the only place on earth where Jews can worship God, leaving rabbis struggling to reinvent the religion of Moses and David. They work during a period of bloodshed and turmoil until, in AD132, Jewish zealots rise against Rome's legions, forcing them to withdraw from the region. The Romans return to slaughter nearly 600,000 Jews and change the name of the region from Judea to Palestine, banning all Jews from Jerusalem.
