What date on the timeline marks the begining of the Jewish Diaspora?

1 answer

The Jewish Diaspora is traditionally marked as beginning in the 6th century BCE, particularly with the Babylonian Exile. In 586 BCE, the Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem and deported many Jews to Babylon, which is often considered a significant point of departure that led to the widespread dispersion of Jews outside of their ancestral homeland. However, Jewish diasporas had begun earlier with earlier exiles and migrations, but the Babylonian Exile is a key event that initiated a profound and lasting dispersion.
