HURRY AND ANSWER Which best explains an effect of the Diaspora on Jewish people? They did not keep their religious identity. They used traditions to help them identify as a community. They did not develop a sense of shared history. They transitioned to a new religious identity.

the best answer to this question would be answer choice B) They used traditions to help identify as a community

Explanation:

" 1. The destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, and the inability to get to Jerusalem freely, made animal sacrifice impossible. Animal sacrifice was the main way in which Jews could communicate with God and atone for sin. Without physical sacrifice, other ways had to emerge to draw closer to God, and prayer and deeds of lovingkindness were elevated to be the primary ways to connect to God.

2. With the lack of a geographic center, the religion had to focus on a portable icon. Thus, the Torah became the object which could be transported, and reproduced and which represented the symbol of God throughout the world.

3. The destruction of the Temple meant that the priests no longer had a leadership role (let alone any role at all). The rabbis - as teachers - became community leaders.

4. With the dispersion of the Jewish population, different traditions emerged from diverse geographic locations. No central leader unified Judaism; only the Torah and, later, the Talmud, unified the religion.

5. Almost 2/3 of the world's Jewish population were killed by the Romans, and the dispersion of the Jews who remained meant that Jews would be the minority in virtually every place they lived for the next 2000 years.

6. Exile from Israel - except for small communities allowed to remain (e.g. Yavneh) - meant that Israel became more symbolic than real for most Jews. Return to Israel became a focus for the concept of the Messiah.

7. Settlement as a minority throughout the world meant that Jewish law had to be reconciled with the local laws.

8. Geographic dispersion implied that the concept of God, and access to God, could no longer be centralized. A broader concept of God was embraced.

9. A common language (Hebrew, and later Yiddish) enabled Jews to fill particular niches in a dispersed environment."

These are a few additional ways the Diaspora affected the Jews
