Imagining the Temple:
The Models of Leen Ritmeyer
Steven Fine on
IMAGINING THE TEMPLE
Sunday, March 30, 2008
2 pm
Ever since the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, Jews and, later, Christians, have tried to picture what the Jerusalem Temple looked like. During the 20th century, this imagining often resulted in three-dimensional models of the Temple. In this talk, Steven Fine, professor of Jewish History at Yeshiva University, sets the Ritmeyer models within the contexts of Jewish and Christian conceptions of the Jerusalem Temple.
