Best Answer

The Jewish diaspora (exile) began twice: when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the First Temple and exiled the people to Babylon; and several centuries later, when Titus destroyed the Second Temple, and most of the population of Judea gradually went into exile because of the untenable conditions in Judea under the Romans.

The Diaspora was difficult because it is not as easy to survive and to maintain one's Jewish identity when the Jews are spread thinly amongst other peoples.

What are followers of Judaisms called?

Answer AThe followers of Judaism are called Jews (Israelites; Hebrews) or the Jewish people.The word 'Jew,' 'Jewish,' or 'Judaism' stems from the name of the tribe of Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Israel.Before the First Temple was destroyed (586 B.C.E.), Bnei Yisroel or Children of Israel referred to all 12 tribes. Today it's hard to properly trace most of the tribes. The tribe of Judah, today the majority of the Jewish people, was one of the last to leave Israel in the Exile to Mesopotamia.Answer BFollowers of Judaism are called "followers of Judaism".

Would the followers of Judaism be considered Jewish?

Yes. What's more, they would be referred to collectively as "Jews".

It's quite possible to be a Jew without even knowing it.
