Document Summary

Exile- the deportation of jewish leadership from jerusalem to mesopotamia by the conquering babylonians in 586 bce. A rupture of local israelite political, ritual, and agricultural institutions, it marks the transitions from israelite religion to judaism. The exile marks the transition from the national cult of an ancient kingdom to the religious heritage of a widely dispersed people. The leaders of the judean society were exiled to babylonia. These catastrophes mark the disruption of many ancient israelite institutions. The heritage was now more than of a subject or minority population than of a national state. Moreover, life was now more urban than agriculturally based laws and rituals needed to be rethought. The exile gave focus and impetus to a number of significant social and religious changes. At some time in the exile, the institution known as the synagogue was born. Even after the ruined temple was rebuilt, congregational life gained in emphasis over temple worship.
