Text is in Hebrew and English. Issued in conjunction with a 2015 exhibition "inspired by the extraordinary Al-Yahuda archive, presenting the earliest evidence of the Judean exiles as they rebuilt their lives in their 'new Jerusalem' in Babylonia. This previously unpublished archive sheds light on one of the most pivotal chapters in the history of the Jewish people. As the dramatic story unfolds, beginning with the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar II, ultimately leading to the destruction of the First Temple and the exile of the Judeans to Babylonia, we understand these events from an entirely new perspective. The challenge of every museum devoted to history is to innovatively present their story so that it speaks to contemporary audiences. To that end, we have enhanced the exhibition with extensive multi-media, including interactive information stations and original animations that illustrate the narrative of this compelling story: the story of the resilience of the Jewish people."
