The temple in Jerusalem was the center of the Jewish world until the year 70, when Imperial Rome destroyed the temple while putting down the first great Jewish revolt. Rome destroyed Jerusalem, exiled the surviving Jews, and renamed the land Palestine after putting down the second great revolt in 135-136. Large parts of the Jewish liturgy remember these disasters in one way or the other. For example, the traditional daily prayers include prayers for the return of the exiles and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. This keeps the memory of the exile alive to this day, and renews the bond between Jews and the traditional Jewish homeland. The earlier Babylonian exile created a foundation of liturgical elements with similar themes on which the more recent liturgy built.
