Diaspora Jews

Diaspora Jews are Jewish communities living outside of the historic Land of Israel. After events like the Babylonian exile and later dispersions, Jewish populations settled across various regions—including Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia—forming diverse cultures and traditions. Despite geographic separation, they maintain religious, cultural, and historical ties to Israel. The diaspora played a crucial role in shaping Jewish life, contributing to global culture, scholarship, and religious practices, and remains essential to understanding Jewish history and identity today.
