About the Course

The destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and the Babylonian Exile were a great catastrophe in the history of the Jewish Nation. What really happened during that dark, fateful age, and how did new opportunities arise from the ashes? This course will temporarily close for enrollment from March 1st, 2022 to August 31st, 2022. During this time, the course will be closed for new enrolments. All of the course materials will continue to be able available to previously enrolled learners; however, the course staff will not provide support in the Discussion Forums during this period. Best, The Tel Aviv University Team...

A sumarized but complete and deep study of the geopolitical situations Judah had to face from the 7th to the 5th century BC. A very interesting and revealing course from the beginning until the end.

The course was well presented and went in depth into the issues surrounding the kingdom of Judah and the city of Jerusalem during a tumultuous time in the 7th and 6th centuries BC.

Hands down the best course I have so far completed on Coursera, teacher's dedication to the subject, amount of knowledge shared with learners, multiple interviews and content presented in a very digestible manner make this course truly amazing.

Excellent professor, with information presented very clearly. Makes a compelling case for understanding the Babylonian period as a time of continuity for certain areas of Judah, rather than a time of an emptying of the land due to exile.

A very interesting course that was very well taught. Taking this course really helped dispel some of my wrong beliefs about this period in Jewish History.

Facinating study of a period that was relatively unknown. The information and insight gained makes the reading of the Biblical books more understandable.
