EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when Jews were granted the decree to return home to Jerusalem by King Cyrus II of Persia, also known as Cambyses or Kurash, in 538 BC. After the Babylonian exile, which lasted over 70 years, the Persian king's edict marked a pivotal turning point in Jewish history. The inscription on the parchment, held by the figure on the right, reads, "Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of the Lord, the God of Israel—he is the God, who is in Jerusalem.''' This photograph print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts the scene of the Jews' joyful return to their homeland, as they set out on their journey back to Jerusalem to begin the reconstruction of the Second Temple. The image captures the sense of hope and renewal that came with this momentous event in Jewish history. The ruins of the First Temple, destroyed by the Babylonians, can be seen in the background, serving as a poignant reminder of the past and the promise of a new beginning. The event is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Jewish people and their unwavering faith in their God, despite the hardships they had faced during their exile. The approval of King Cyrus II to rebuild the temple and return to their homeland was a significant step towards the restoration of Jewish sovereignty and the preservation of their cultural identity. This photograph print offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Jewish and world history, one that continues to resonate with people of all faiths and backgrounds.
