Best Answer

The Romans never barred the Jews from Judea, which they had renamed Palestine: they barred the Jews from Jerusalem only. Some Jews have continued to live in Israel/Palestine without interruption, in larger or smaller numbers throughout the recent millenia.

However, the possibility of a large-scale Jewish return to Palestine/Israel never came to fruition until the last 135 years, mainly because of poverty, the dangers of travel, the hostility of the Ottomans and others, and the barrenness of the land.

Poverty: most of the Jews were not well-to-do in their places of exile; but the poverty in Palestine was much worse.

The dangers of travel: crossing the Mediterranean was fraught with more than one kind of danger; loss of ships was not uncommon. But overland travel was even more risky for Jews, whom everyone felt free to pillage.

Barrenness: until the draining of swamps and desert cultivation got underway with modern technology, much of Palestine was too arid or too wet for crops.

What major occupations did the Jews adopt when they left Palestine in 65 bc?

Jews did not leave Palestine in 65 BCE. They were forcibly exiled over a century later in 70 CE.When they were exiled, they took on an incredible number of occupations. In most European countries, they were banned from a number of those occupations (especially artisanry). This resulted in European Jews primarily becoming lawyers, bankers, and doctors, since these were the professions not barred to them. However, in countries like Yemen where these prohibitions never occurred, Jews were dominant in jewelry creation.
