Yesterday’s answer:
During
the Exile, Babylonia became a spiritual and intellectual capital of Judahite
life. In their new environment, the people reinterpreted their religion in
light of new realities: exile from their promised land, the demise of their
Davidic rulers, worship without a temple, and eventually religion without
prophets. Over the next few centuries, Judaism was born, with such distinctive
characteristics as rabbis and rabbinical schools, worship in synagogues, and
veneration of the law. The term “Jews” in the modern sense is properly used to
designate the people of Judah from the point of the Exile onwards.
