The Babylonian Captivity, beginning in 597 B.C., saw the conquest of Judah and the forced exile of its people to Babylon. The king of Judah appointed from Jerusalem rebelled, leading to Judah's reconquest and the destruction of the temple. The prophet Jeremiah viewed this as a divine punishment but also believed in worshiping God beyond Jerusalem. The exiles maintained their culture and religion through community centers known as synagogues, guided by Rabbis. This period shaped Jewish identity across Ukraine, Germany, Russia, Poland, Italy, Hungary, and back to Jerusalem.
