Common personality traits that organizations or associations look for when they are searching for volunteers. these traits include civility, the ability to compromise, persistence, and tolerance for ambiguity. what is it about these traits that illustrates how a person might be successful at participating in a volunteer effort?

In the type of society that we live nowadays, where callous selfishness and shallow narcissism are the norm rather than the exception, true volunteers have to deal with people that have those traits or have adopted them as “values”. Because of that they need to be the best version of their selves in order to inspire others and lead by their example. Civility is important as it enhances and renders human interactions more fluid. Many times they will find people unwilling to let go of psychological or ideological barriers and they will have to negotiate and find a common ground, a sensible compromise with them in order to be able to accomplish something.

This is of course one of the signs of persistence, the ability to continue striving to make a positive difference despite subjective or ideological opposition to the ideal of the common good. Because volunteers are usually idealists they are usually confronted with moral and institutional ambiguity and they may be rightfully indignant about it in cases where no such ambiguity is justified.

However, indignation is usually counterproductive – unless your NGO has enough power to confront it - in the face of institutions and individuals who have enough power to stop or hinder progressive activism. Therefore a more pragmatic approach may be the best temporary strategy in the meantime with the caveat of avoiding to compromise essential progressive aspects of the ideals that pushed volunteers to engage in social activism and/or relief in the first place.

Organizations or associations looking for volunteers know that they need people who work well with others. The traits of civility and compromise would come in handy in this case. A volunteer also needs to be able to compromise and tolerate ambiguity because issues of public concern often have many possible solutions. Organizations also look for people who show a willingness to be persistent, which means they won’t give up or get discouraged even if a goal seems difficult to reach. Civic organizations often face daunting challenges in accomplishing their primary goals, so persistence plays a crucial role.

the bar kochba rebellion (132-135) against the roman empire, also known as the second jewish-roman war, was the second major jewish revolt in judea and the last of the great jewish-roman wars.

after the first jewish-roman war of the years 66-73, the roman authorities took measures to crush any new attempt of rebellion in judea. his political situation was modified and instead of a prefect a governor of praetorian rank was appointed, and in the ruins of jerusalem the seat of a complete roman legion, the legio x fretensis was established.

the political and religious direction of the jewish people was left in the hands of the sanhedrin, with initial headquarters in yavne.

the direct causes of the rebellion vary according to the source. the roman historian dio cassius (155-229) attributes the revolt to the decision of hadrian to found in the place of jerusalem a roman city called aelia capitolina (aelia by its own name and capitolina in honor of the roman god jupiter). on the other hand, the jewish sources, while recognizing this resolution as true, assign higher priority to the decrees dictated by hadrian that forbade the brit milah (circumcision), the respect of the sabbath and the laws of purity in the family.

hadrian's intention was to "civilize" and incorporate the jews once and for all into the greco-roman culture. for greek and roman culture, circumcision was an intolerable mutilation.

the jewish tradition tells in the midrash tanjuma a meeting between rabbi akiva and the governor turnus rufus, where he asked for an explanation about the circumcision.

an additional legion, the legio vi ferrata, moved to the province to maintain order, and work began in the year 131 after the governor of judea, turnus rufus performed the founding ceremony of aelia capitolina. a roman coin with the inscription aelia capitolina was struck in the year 132.

the tannaim rabbi akiva, who without being named nasi directed the sanhedrin, convinced the other members to support the imminent rebellion.

the jewish leaders carefully planned the second rebellion to avoid the numerous errors that had been committed in the first one. in the year 132 the rebellion led by bar kochba quickly expanded from modiim throughout the country, defeating the x roman legion based in jerusalem and destroying the xxii roman legion that had come from egypt.
