Who were the Zealots?

Rav Yehuda HaKohen
Was the Zealot movement founded in the Galilee following the death of King Herod as Josephus claims? Or was it the continuation of something much older & deeper in Judean society?

Why are so many Jews today unfamiliar with the heroic struggle to free Judea from the Roman Empire?

During the period between the 17th of Tammuz & the 9th of Menaḥem Av, it’s important to learn the story of the Great Revolt & about the various Zealot factions that led the struggle for freedom against Rome.
