After the destruction of the Second Temple, the Jewish community in Babylonia became the main centre of Jewish life. For over one thousand years, it led the entire Jewish Diaspora. The spiritual flame of the Jewish nation was kept burning by means of the large yeshiva academies of Nehardea, Sura and Pumbedita. The exhibition displays facts about King Jehoiachin and his sons and the prophet Ezekiel during the duration of their stay in Babylonia.
