Call it the Diaspora, Galut, exile, dilution, dispersion, assimilation, etc.

Whatever you call it, you should not be picturing a Jewish tsunami that overspreads

the globe like a blanket of volcanic ash.

The total Jewish population everywhere is estimated now to be 0.2% (two tenths of one

percent) of the world's total population, and Israel has now reached the 50% mark of the

world's Jews.

So when you talk about the "spread" of Jewish people around the world, remember

that you're talking about roughly 1 individual out of each 1,000 , and that they reside

in more than 130 different countries ... a rather thin 'spread' worldwide.

According to Jewish tradition how did Jewish ideas spread around the Mediterranean world?

Judaism itself:As the Jewish communities spread and moved. This phenomenon was set in motion by the various expulsions and persecutions, which drove Jewish populations to settle in new places. Jewish influence:As non-Jews came in contact with Jews, there was a degree of influence upon them. Ancient writers speak of large numbers of people in the Mediterranean area who had taken on various Jewish practices. It was these semi-converts who were especially likely to adopt Christianity. As the new religion of Christianity spread, it taught those beliefs which it had adopted directly from Jewish sources, such as the prohibition of infanticide and human sacrifice.
