1. What Does Diaspora Mean?
Diaspora is an excluded group that has been banned from their home country. An excluded group.
2. Why do Diasporas occur in general? Why the Hebrew diaspora?
The Jewish diaspora is a result of the expulsion of the Jewish people out of their land, migrations from there, and religious conversion to Judaism. The diaspora is commonly accepted to have begun with the 8th-6th century BCE conquests of the ancient Jewish kingdoms, destruction of the First Temple, and expulsion of the enslaved Jewish population, and is also associated with the destruction of theSecond Temple and aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt, during the Roman occupation of Judea in the 1st and 2nd Century CE.
The defeat of the Great Jewish Revolt in the year 70 CE and of Bar Kokhba's revolt in 135 CE against the Roman Empire notably contributed to the numbers and geography of the diaspora, as many Jews were scattered after losing their state Judea or were sold into slavery throughout the empire.
