In ancient times (some 2500 years ago), King Cyrus of Persia proclaimed a royal decree inviting the Jews (who were in Babylonian exile) to return to Israel (Judea).
More recently (1300s-1800s) the Ottomans (and their Ayyubid and Mameluk predecessors) allowed some Jewish resettlement in Palestine (Israel). The arrivals bolstered the Jewish communities which had always existed there.
In 1917, under the British Mandate, the Balfour Declaration stated that the British government would view favorably a Jewish homeland in Palestine and promoted Jewish Immigration until the 1930s. In 1950, the State of Israel passed the "Law of Return" which allows any Jew to come to Israel and be granted immediate citizenship.
after the miracle of purim, king Darius allowed the Jews to return.
The date often quoted is around 538 BCE. Tradition puts this event around 373 BCE.
