Best Answer

To keep their identity they continued to observe religious laws, celebrate holidays, and worship as they had in Judah.

1) Reading the Torah in the synagogue and studying it at other times. In those communities where there were zero Torah-scholars, Judaism slowly died out.
2) Keeping the laws and beliefs of the Torah. Those who didn't do this, such as the (later) Hellenizers and Sadducees, went lost.
3) Maintaining vibrant Jewish communities, with communal prayer and study, mutual help, maintaining ties between the various communities, etc.
4) Remembering God's covenant and promise that the Jews and Judaism will never cease.

Why were the accounts of the exodus close to the hearts of Jews during and after the exile?

The accounts of the Exodus are close to the hearts of Jews during and after Exile because in the beginning of Exodus, the Israelites were living as slaves in a foreign land, Egypt. The Jews of the Exile had a similar experience living in Babylon as captive subjects of a mighty empire. Also the people of the Exodus struggled in a frightening and hostile wilderness. Similarly, the exile Jews made a long, painful journey to Babylon, and back again to Judah some 50 years later. Lastly and most important for the Jews was Gods Revelation to their ancestors in the wilderness. Through Moses the people of Israel discovered the identity of their God, and through the Covenant, they found their own identity as people. Similarly, in Babylon, after representing of their sins, the exiles rediscovered their true identity as God's beloved. -- written in out hearts third edition
