King Cyrus was the one who proclaimed that the Jews could now return to Israel (Judea) from their Babylonian exile. Certainly there must have been an upsurge in Thanksgiving to God, and a surge in the study of the laws that would once again be accessible, such as ritual purity.

However, Jews "look to their religion" every day of every year. It is a command to study and keep the Torah all the time (Deuteronomy ch.6), and that is what Jews have always done.
