How were the hebrews able to maintain their faith in exile?

Answer 1

According to Experts, the Hebrews established a sacred place to worship God while in exile. Though the palace they created was not refined, they believed God was with them and held on to the faith that God would deliver them into the Promised Land.

Answer 2

Ancient Hebrews really didn't travel outside of Israel in any significant way. It wasn't until after the Romans expelled the Jews from Israel in the year 70 that they travelled to all parts of the world.

Answer 3

After the ancient Hebrews settled in the land of Israel, they did not travel from place to place because their religion focused on the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

After the destruction of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70, Judaism focused exclusively on prayer, study, and deeds of kindness, which could be done anywhere.

Answer:

The Hebrews were able to maintain their religion if and when they traveled because the Torah and the Talmud (the Oral Traditions) are portable.

Answer 4

1) Reading the Torah in the synagogue and studying it at other times.2) Keeping the laws and beliefs of the Torah. Those who didn't do this, such as the Hellenizers and Sadducees, went lost.

3) Maintaining vibrant Jewish communities, with communal prayer and study, mutual help, maintaining ties between the various communities, etc.

4) Remembering God's covenant and promise that the Jews and Judaism will never cease.
