The Jewish Art of War:
A Historical Survey
Jews and war are not subjects that are frequently thought of together. This series looks at war and violence in three chapters of Jewish history, Biblical, Roman, and Modern, to see how Jews have understood the use of armed conflict to accomplish political and religious ends.
Dual Loyalty or Treachery? Jews on Both Sides of the Great Revolt Against Rome
Sunday, Oct 13 7:00 PM8:30 PM
One of the greatest tragedies of civil wars is when brothers fight against brothers. But how do we reconcile two Jews fighting on opposite sides of a war? Two Jewish generals, Josephus and Tiberius Julius Alexander, fought against each other in the Jewish Revolt against Rome in 66-70 CE. History has condemned both, branding Josephus as a traitor and Tiberius Julius Alexander as an apostate. Does the modern charge of "dual loyalty" apply to these infamous examples? Presenter: Dr. Shira Lander
