Babylon and Jerusalem
Summary
The concept of the Diaspora and its complex relationship with the land of Israel is well known, but how did it come about? This lecture tells the story of the Diaspora through Babylon and Jerusalem, two Jewish centres of power that collaborated and competed over hundreds of years, ultimately shaping the version of Judaism still practiced today.
