For 1800 years after the Giving of the Torah, the Oral Traditions had never been put in writing; and there was even a prohibition to do so (Talmud, Gittin 59). Due to the danger of parts of the halakha (laws) being forgotten, the sages saw no choice but to permit the writing of the Oral Torah; and 1500 years ago, the Talmud and Midrashim were written down.

What change helped judaism sirvive during the diaspora?

Perhaps Judaism's objection to inter-marriage, which usually leaves the Jewish man or woman's offspring not practicing the religion any more.Answer:The prohibition of intermarriage never changed. The change that allowed Judaism to survive was the innovation of writing the Oral Torah. The Talmud had been transmitted from teachers to disciples for 1800 years. After that point (1510 years ago) the Sages of the time realized that the laws and details specified in the Oral Torah might become forgotten during the exile, and they for the first time permitted it to be written.
