    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.

    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.

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