| | Diaspora (Greek for 'dispersion'): indication for the Jews living outside the land of Israel. | | | Their roots can be found in the Diaspora, in a time before the rabbinical Judaism existed. | | | The Diaspora grew large after 70, when the Romans destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem and deported many Jews to Syria and Italy (more). |

| | from jesus to christ: a portrait of jesus' world: the jewish diaspora |
| | This is what we call the Diaspora, that is, the dispersion of Jewish population throughout the Empire, and we know that there are major Jewish communities in most of the large cities of the Empire, all the way from the Persian Gulf on the east to Spain on the west. | | | It's clear, then, that the Diaspora communities formed the Jewish network which early Christians as Jews were able to use for their own purposes. | | | The normal language for Jews in the Diaspora was Greek. |

| | Diaspora on Encyclopedia.com |
| | The Jewish population of Central and Eastern Europe, until World War II the largest in the world, was decimated in the Holocaust. | | | The diaspora became a permanent feature of Jewish life; by AD 70 Jewish communities existed in Babylonia, Syria, Egypt, Cyrene, Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome. | | | Despite the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, the vast majority of the Jewish people remains in the diaspora, notably in North America, Russia, and Ukraine. |

| | Diaspora |
| | This was the Diaspora, a very long period of time (135 CE to 1948) in which Jews were tiny minority communities in an at-best indifferent and all too often an actively hostile world. | | | They are unusual among Diaspora Jewish communities for their historically martial, feuding society. | | | This last is unlikely, since they appear to have been settled in the area before the rise or conversion of Khazaria, but they most likely were allied with or subject to the Khazars and probably accepted refugees during that empire's collapse. |

| | ...that word 'Diaspora' |
| | The seminal article ‘Mobilized and Proletarian Diasporas’ by John Armstrong in 1976 investigates in a general perspective migrant groups with regard to their socio-economic position and the range of tolerance or repression they faced in multiethnic states. | | | This qualification also applies to Ages’ The Diaspora Dimension which, despite its first chapter being titled ‘The Theory of Diaspora’, remains confined to the study of Judaism. | | | The same applies to the study of diaspora: up to now, the Jewish diaspora has been studied almost exclusively by scholars of Judaism. |

| | Diaspora |
| | Originally, the term Diaspora (capitalized) was used to refer specifically to the populations of Jews exiled from Judea in 586 BC by the Babylonians, and 135 A.D. by the Romans. | | | The Jewish diaspora[?] in modern use, refers to Jews living outside of the Jewish state of Israel. | | | This term is used interchangeably to refer to the historical movements of the dispersed ethnic population, the cultural development of that population, or the population itself. |

| | It is time for Greece and the leadership of the Greek diasporic communities to begin focusing on the different definitions of Greekness that are characterized by “hybridization” and “intercultural encounters.” It is also time to begin supporting the scholarly and systematic examination of these processes in the Greek diaspora. | | | Nevertheless, despite assertions that the center should and is willing to depart from an approach that views diasporic communities as identical and fixed historical and cultural entities within which Greekness remains a constant, Greece continues to maintain the same attitudes in its engagement with the diaspora. | | | Niotis’s notion of the Greek diaspora is of a coherent community held together by a common language and culture, the consciousness and identity of which are formulated and settled by the “natural” center of Greekness, Greece. |

| | By extension, the word--still usually capitalized--can refer to the communities of Jews living outside of Palestine or modern Israel; to the place of exile (the countries outside of Israel where Jews live); or to the state of mind that results from living in exile. | | | Diaspora formally and usually refers to the dispersion of the Jews to countries outside of Palestine after the Babylonian captivity. | | | Thus the word can mean 'any group migration or flight from a country or region; dispersion' (such as "the diaspora of blacks to the urban north") or 'any group that has been dispersed outside of its traditional homeland' ("the African diaspora") and hence 'the place where such a group lives'. |
