By Rabbi Yehudah Prero
The Talmud (Yoma 9b) discusses the causes for the destruction of the two Temples. “Why was the first Bais HaMikdosh destroyed? Because of three [evil] things which prevailed (during that time): idolatry, immorality, bloodshed.” The Gemora continues “But why was the second Bais HaMikdosh destroyed, seeing that in its time they were occupying themselves with Torah, [observance of] mitzvos, and the practice of charity? Because baseless hatred was prevalent at that time.”
