What were Jews living outside of Judah referred to as?
They were (and are) known as "Diaspora Jews."
If Diaspora is the term used to describe the Jewish dispersion what is the term to describe their return to Israel?
When a Jew moves to Israel, it is said that he/she is making Aliyah. Aliyah means arising, ascending, going up. It is said that moving to Israel is moving to a higher spiritual plane, thus the usage of the term aliyah. Aliyah is also used to refer to someone coming up to read from the Torah. However, Aliyah is not the proper opposite to Diaspora. Aliyah is what an individual does. The opposite of Aliyah is Yeridah, when a single person leaves Israel. The opposite of Diaspora, which is the communal dispersion of the Jewish people, is the communal return of the Jewish people to Israel. This return has not yet happened. There are still more Jews outside of Israel than inside of it. Such a return would likely be called the Geula or Redemption. Another opposite for the Exiling of the Jews (Diaspora) is Kibbutz Galuyot (Ingathering of the Exiles).
Why have Jews spread from Israel?
First, Babylon conquered Israel and took many Jews out of Israel back to Babylon as captives in war. Once there, provided they did not attempt to leave, they were allowed to live as free people under the king. Then, Persia conquered Babylon and King Cyrus of Persia said that many of the Jews could go back to Israel and rebuild the nation. Over the course of the next five centuries, they were conquered by the Greeks, and later by the Romans. In around the year 65 C.E., many Jewish people in Israel rose up in rebellion against the Roman and they were crushed, and the 2nd Temple was later burnt to the ground. The Romans killed many Jews and took even more out as slaves. For three centuries after the Roman conquest, many Jews continued to live in the Holy Land, but the numbers dwindled. While there did remain a continuous presence of Jews in Israel for the last 2000 years, they were a small minority after this point. The answer is A) The defeat and enslavement by the Babylons and B) The defeat and enslavement and forced resettlement (Diaspora) by the Romans.
When did the Jewish diaspora end?
The first Jewish Diaspora was the forcible exile to Babylon in 586 BCE. However, the famous second Jewish Diaspora happened under the Romans from 70 CE to 132 CE. Jewish Zealots had fought the Romans on these two occasions and the Romans had enough of it. The Romans realized that the Jews had a fundamental connection to the land, so separating them from it and from each other would make them more docile. As a result, the Romans evicted the majority of Jews from the province of Syria-Palaestina.
Why is Passover celebrated for 8 days?
The dates and length of Jewish festivals are decided according to the complex Hebrew calendar, which involves both lunar and solar measurements taken in Israel. As in the past getting the relevant information from Israel to the farthest reaches of the world would take far longer than today, Jews in other nations added an extra day to the festivals and holidays to ensure they were celebrating the event on the correct day and, over time, this became a tradition. Today, even though we have very fast worldwide communication networks which would be more than capable of allowing Jews in any country to get the information, festivals are often celebrated for one day more in the Diaspora (Jewish communities outside Israel) than they are in Israel - Passover is one example of this.
When did Jews scattered from Israel?
Most of them were expelled in the year 70 by the Romans. But not all ... there has been a continuous Jewish presence there since more than 1,000 years before that time, including throughout the Diaspora, exiles, dispersions, etc., right up to the time when the modern state of Israel was restored.
What were the problems that existed in forming the state of Israel?
The state of Israel got its independence in 1948. The U.N suggested to split the land for both Jews and Arabs. The Jews agreed but the Arabs didn't. War burst and the Jews won. Further more, Israel is mentioned in the bible many times as the home of Jews so it goes way back to 4,000 years ago.
What middle eastern country speaks Hebrew?
The largest nationality to speak Hebrew as a native language or second language are the Jews, particularly the Jews of Israel. The second largest nationality to speak Hebrew as a native or second language are Arabs (Israeli Arabs make up more than 20% of the population of Israel).
What was the dispersal of the Jews called?
In about 67 CE the Romans put an end to the Jewish revolt that challenged the Roman occupation. They destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem and crushed all resistance. Unlike the Babylonians in the First Destruction, the Romans did not exile the Jews en masse. Tens of thousands, if not more, remained in the Holy Land for several centuries more. However, the Romans did cause some one million deaths among the Jews due to war, privation and persecution. They did carry away myriads of Jews for purposes of slavery. And hundreds of thousands of Jews voluntarily left the land due to the harsh conditions and settled in North Africa, Babylonia, Southern Europe and elsewhere. This is called the Roman Exile or the Diaspora.
Why does Israel have more Jews than the whole continent of Europe?
