Exile and Return (pgs. 94-95)
• The Jews call their time in Babylon exile – when
people are forced to live in a foreign land.
• While in exile in Babylon, Jews met each week in a
synagogue or house of worship on the Sabbath, a
day of worship and rest, to worship God.
Why Did Jews Return to Judah?
• The Persians took control of Babylon. Their king
Cyrus, allowed the Jews to return to Judah.
• Persian officials still controlled the Jews in Judah, so
Jews looked to their religion for leadership.
What is in the Hebrew Bible?
• The Hebrew Bible consists of the 5 books of the
Torah and 34 other books that describe Jewish
history.
Jews Look to the Future
• The book of Daniel addresses this plan and reminds
Jews that God will rescue them.
• Daniel lived in Babylon and was an adviser of the
king. He would not worship Babylonian Gods, so
Chaldeans threw him into a lion’s den. God
protected Daniel
The Jews and the Greeks (pgs. 95-96)
• Judah came under the control of Alexander the
Great in 331 B.C. and introduced the Jews to Greek
language and ways.
• The Diaspora (dy*as*pruh) refers to Jews who lived
outside of Judah.
• The word, diaspora, is Greek and means
“scattered.”
Who Were the Maccabees?
• In 168 B.C., a Greek ruler named Antiochus
(an*ty*uh*kuhs) wanted Jews to only worship
Greek gods.
• A priest name Judas Maccabeus (joo*duhs
mak*uh*bee*us) and his followers formed an army
known as the Macabees to fight the Greeks.
• The Macabees drove the Greeks out of Judah and
cleansed their temple. This is now known as
Hanukkah (hah*nuh*kuh)

clothes.

housekeepers.

(muh*sy*uh), or deliverer sent by God to
rescue them from Roman rule.

freedom. And drove them out of Jerusalem in
A.D. 66.

killed many Jews and forced others to leave.
• The Romans also destroyed the temple in
Jerusalem.
• All that remains today is the Western Wall, also
known as the Wailing Wall.
• The Jews revolted again in A.D. 132. When the
Romans regained control they forbade the Jews to
visit Jerusalem and changed it’s name to Palestine.
Jewish Teachers
• Rabbis, teachers of the Torah, became
important leaders.

with a book called the Talmud.
