Because of the Babylonian Captivity, Babylonia became the most important center of Jewish life during the Exile. The Jewish people survived in Babylon because the Babylonian policy allowed the Jews to settle in towns and villages along the Chebar River, which was an irrigation channel. The Jews were allowed to live together in communities; they were allowed to farm and perform other sorts of labor to earn income. Many Jews eventually became wealthy.

The stresses this placed on the Church were finally resolved in 1414 at the Council of Constance.
