Section Info:
Title: History of Jews in Diaspora Topic: Drawing on a wide variety of primary and secondary textual and archeological sources - ranging from letters, scriptures, ceramics, to official documents – we study the ways in which the people of Israel, the Jewish people defined themselves in the end of the second millennium BC. We analyze the Babylonian Exile, which was a period when the people of Israel refashioned its collective and individual identities. We examine the revolution of Bar-Kokhba in AD 132-135, and the dispersion of Jews in the Roman Empire, and in Arabia as well. We study the interaction between the exiled Jewish diaspora communities and their non-Jewish neighbors since antiquity until1948, as well as on changes internal to the Jewish communities. We analyze the ways in which Jewish communities refashioned their collective and individual identities between WWI and 1948, and which led to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
