Features: During the Great Exodus of the Jews over two thousand years (saying "dispersion" seems too calm, and "wandering" too romantic), their homeland was destroyed, the Temple collapsed, and the land where their ancestors' remains were buried was abandoned. No nation could protect them, not even a shred of glory to look back on. Slavery, expulsion, massacre, compassionate disappearance—the deepest suffering was already complete. Who taught the redemption of this seemingly sinfully burdened people? It was the Talmud—a wisdom law code seemingly regarded as the Bible by the Jews!—rather than anything else, that unleashed the astonishing power of the Jewish nation, led countless Jews from poverty to great wealth, and enabled the Jewish nation, after enduring countless trials, to establish a state after two thousand years and rapidly become strong.
