Israel's long history is a blessing and a burden. Jews celebrate their convenant with God, the Exodus from Egypt, the victory of the Maccabees, and the independence of modern Israel. They also mourn the destruction of the Temples by Babylon and Rome, and the Holocaust of the Nazis. Some revere the heroism of Bar Kokhba's rebellion against Rome.
