ArchitectureAnother way that art is expressed is through the Jewish temples. The first temple was said to be by king Solomon in Jerusalem and its description can be found in the Torah. This temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. However upon the Jewish peoples return to Israel, another temple was built, but later destroyed by the romans. A replica of the temple can be seen to the right.

One way the Jewish people expressed themselves was through paintings. One example is a painting titled "Abraham and the Three Angels" painted by Marc Chagall. This painting depicts the story in Genesis 18: 1-15. This story explains that three angels visited Abraham and his aging wife Sarah. These angels told them that they would have a son, but Sarah did not believe them because she was so old. However, they did have a son whom they named Isaac.
