A battle that will never be forgotten! Experience the historic moments of the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE that led to the destruction of the Second Temple. A breathtaking drama, Temple in Flames shows the brutal tactics used by Titus and his legions to subdue the besieged city of Jerusalem. In a painfully realistic manner, the film shows the desperate, heroic battle waged by the Jewish fighters to defend their beloved city … to their last drop of blood.

The film accompanies the exiles from Jerusalem to Babylonia after the destruction of the First Temple. There they experience the shock of displacement before gradually integrating in Babylonia. Then, after decades in the far-off kingdom, they hear the rare, surprising pronouncement allowing them to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple.
