Answer:
1. Jewish people relied on the leadership of Cyrus the Great to support free worship and traditional practices.
2. Jewish people have retained their cultural identity despite being scattered throughout the world.
Step-by-step explanation:
Babylonian captivity is the event in which Jews were exiled to Babylon under the domination of Nebuchadnezzar, who oppressed and did not allow the practice of Jewish religion and culture. However, when Cyrus II assumed the leadership of Babylon, he allowed the Jews to return to the territories in Judah, Jerusalem, rebuild their temples and carry out their cultural and religious practices. The Jews were very grateful and it is possible to see Cyrus being quoted even in the Holy Bible and Torah, as someone whom God has blessed.
The Jewish Diaspora is the historic event where, little by little, Jews forcibly abandoned their homeland and ended up spreading across the world, without owning their own territory. Although scattered, the Jewish people kept their culture, their concepts and their religious practice, hoping to someday return home.
