Early Judaism- A Comprehensive Overview

and a new one began. Of necessity, the leadership of the nation changed,

with no Jewish political leader and no class of priests in influential posi-

tions, but so rich was the heritage of Judaism that other aspects of it came

to the fore as it moved into the age of the Tannaim and their work. Even

the brutal Roman quashing of the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135c.e.), an-

other disaster for the land and its populace, did not prevent the Jewish

people from surviving, from continuing to believe in the one God, and

from adhering to the covenant and the way of life entailed in it.
