Today on Talmud Tales:
Who would've thought the destruction of Jerusalem would come in this way- *party music*
Dude, my party stinks. What happened to Kamza?
That guy's awesome.
I sent him the invite.
Hey guys! Thanks for the invite!
What the?!
BAR Kamza!? *cricket sounds*
You have to leave, man.
We wanted Kamza.
No body really likes you. In fact, you're my worst enemy.
Oh yeah...I'll pay the cover.
*laughing* No way!
I'll pay for all of the party.
Seriously, bro.
Just leave.
The rabbis didn't say I had to leave.
Can you believe the rabbis let this happen?
I'll show them! *evil laughter*
*Whistling*
*knife sound*
*knock on door*
No, no, no. We can't sacrifice this calf.
Bar Kamza totally blemished it.
But Cesar will be offended if we don't sacrifice his offering.
Sacrifice, it is!
Woo! Sacrifice! Yeah! Sacrifice! Woo.Sacrifice! Sacrifice!
Yo- not cool, guys.
It's blemished. What will the neighbors think? We don't want to start a trend.
Or...
we could just kill Bar Kamza.
Yeah
If we don't kill him, he's gonna run back to the Romans
and cause a war.
Rabbis, chill out!
Is he who blemishes to be put to death?
I don't think so.
Let's just leave Bar Kamza alone. What's the worst that could happen?
*Explosions* *Building noises*
Next time on Talmud Tales...
Because the rabbis don't kill Bar Kamza, he informs against the Jews, and Cesar sends an army to attack Jerusalem.
The rebels want to fight the Romans, but the rabbis just want to negotiate peace.
The rebels try to compel them to fight by burning their food and fuel.
Though a cunning rabbi, named Yochanan Ben Zakkai, convinces his rebel nephew, the leader,
to let him escape the city in a coffin, pretending to be dead.
The temple is destroyed, and everyone's really sad, but Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakkai convinces the Roman general
to save Rabbi Gamliel and gets permission
to build an awesome school called Yavneh.
