Jews and Judaism sidebar history The Jewish diaspora or simply the Diaspora is the English term used to describe the Galut Yiddish Golus , or exile , of the Jews from the region of the Kingdom of Judah and Roman Judaea and later emigration from wider Eretz Israel . The diaspora is commonly accepted to have begun with the 6th century BCE conquest of the ancient Kingdom of Judah , destruction of the First Temple c. 586 BCE , and expulsion of the population, which is recorded in the Bible . The second major event in the dispersal is popularly thought to be the destruction of the Second Temple and aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt during the Iudaea province Roman occupation of Judea in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, although scholars generally believe that the effect of these events on the dispersal of the Jewish community was much less than their role in later communal narratives would indicate. ref name MYTH cite news url http www.nytimes.com 2009 11 24 books 24jews.html?pagewanted 2 title Book Calls Jewish People an Invention newspaper The New York Times date November 23, 2009 page 2 ref The modern Hebrew term of Tefutzot , scattered , was introduced in the 1930s by the German American Zionist academic de Simon Rawidowicz Simon Rawidowicz , ref Simon Rawidowicz, Benjamin C.
