Roughly two generations after the destruction of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem another great uprising broke out. Known as the Bar Kochba Riot, this was the last attempt of the Jews to regain their freedom in ancient times. It resulted in the total destruction of Judea. Centres of Jewish life moved from Judea northward to the Galilee which became the region where Jews reconstructed their lives, their social institutions and their economy. The rejuvenation of national Jewish life brought forth leaders such as Rabbi Yehuda HaNassi, compiler of the Mishna (Oral Law) and a number of talmudic scholars. Jewish towns prospered and synagogues in the Galilee were established. Travel the Galilee of the Mishna and Talmud (late Roman & Byzantine periods). Visit some of the prominent towns and synagogues of the era as well as Tsfat or Safed, a centre in later times (the Ottoman period) that also attracted numerous Jewish scholars and spiritualists.
