The Jewish Diaspora refers to the dispersion of Jewish people outside their ancestral homeland of Israel. This phenomenon began in ancient times, particularly after the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE and continued through various historical events, including the Roman conquest of Jerusalem in 70 CE. As a result, Jewish communities established themselves in many parts of the world, including Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Throughout history, the Jewish Diaspora has led to the development of diverse cultures and traditions within the Jewish community. Despite being spread across different countries, these communities often maintain a connection to their shared heritage, language, and religious practices, such as Judaism. The Diaspora has significantly influenced global culture, economics, and politics.
