Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6 In the Hebrew calendar, Av 10 marks the date when, in the year 70, the Second Temple was destroyed by the conquering Romans. The holiday of Tishah Be'av is observed by Jews as a day of mourning in commemoration of the destruction. This book details the events in and around Jerusalem from 70 to 200, as individual Jews made choices of what to do. Roseman uses the participation format, asking readers to make decisions: e.g., in escaping from Jerusalem and the Romans do you join a peaceful group of religious students living at Qumran, or do you go to Masada, still hopeful of defeating the Romans? Readers who follow all of the choices will learn much about conditions during that period. This is history only slightly fictionalized; there is no characterizationjust "you are there" factual descriptions. This is a good hi-lo examination of that period.
