In a powerful display of resilience and Jewish pride, a group of Jews recently visited the Arch of Titus in Rome, singing “If I Forget You, Oh Jerusalem.”
The Arch of Titus in Rome, Italy, was built to commemorate the Roman Emperor Titus’s victory in the Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE, thus representing the subjugation of Judea and the destruction of the Second Temple.
Against this historical backdrop, the existence of the Jewish state stands as the most profound revenge to those who sought to obliterate the Jewish people and their homeland.
