Episode notes

Not all the jews wanted to go back. Some were perfectly comfortable in babylon. They had a lot of water there. It was plentiful as far as agriculture and some other things. And maybe this is the beginning of where we get the synagogues and more focus on scripture study because those in babylon, that's what they could develop. This reminds me of something that i appreciated from the manel said, the jewish people had been held captive in babylonia for about 70 years. They had lost jerusalem and the temple, and many had forgotten their commitment to god's law,. but god had not forgotten them.

Do we ever simultaneously rejoice and weep? Dr. Jared Ludlow explores the Jewish people returning to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and rejoicing to have what they had lost, as well as feeling sorrowful for the years of exile and the loss of the glory of Solomon’s temple.
