It preserves the record of peoples who have risen to prominence, fallen, and then been absorbed into the complex mosaics of other civilizations. The Jews, however, are an exception to the usual pattern. They have survived, despite suffering the same sorts of cataclysms that ended the histories of other peoples. 8
Indeed, Jewish history is a repeating pattern of subjugation, migration, and settlement. The first Jewish Diaspora community was settled in 586 B.C.E., when the conquest of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar led to the exile of many Israelites to Babylon. Even after the exiles were permitted to return to their homeland, a sizable number continued to live outside the land of Judah. This Diaspora grew, and by the beginning of the Common Era, there were Jewish communities in almost every corner of the Hellenistic world. The Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. spelled the end of Jewish national autonomy in Israel. Like other defeated peoples, the Jews were dispersed. But throughout centuries of Diaspora life, both Judaism and Jewish national identity survived. A collective Jewish memory of the Land of Israel and the Temple was passed from generation to generation by being incorporated into Jewish liturgy and customs. Beginning in the 19th century, longing for the Land of Israel took modern form in Zionism, a political movement aimed at restoring Jewish self-rule in Palestine. By World War II, Jewish nationalism found itself in conflict with Arab nationalism, which had staked its own claim on Palestine. The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 occurred only after a bloody war between Jews and Arabs, and resulted in thousands of Palestinian Arabs becoming refugees. The conflict has yet to be resolved. Nevertheless, by symbolizing the 20th-century emergence of Jews from powerlessness, Israel continues to play an important role in shaping the identities of many Jews around the world.
