The aspects of Judaism can be examined through Pre-Diaspora Judaism and Post-Diaspora Judaism, primarily in the three temporal subdivisions labeled the Tribal / Pre-Monarchy

Period, the Divided Monarchy, and the Hasmonean / Maccabean and Roman Era. Among all the time periods where the religion has been split, these three seem to be the most representative of the forces responsible.

As for a common theme seen throughout all Judaists, the area of focus is the place associated with the religion : Jerusalem…a place to call home. No other religion has ever been so attached to its birthplace as Judaism. Perhaps this is because Jews have been casted out and restricted from this place for most of their history. Jerusalem is not onl

(people who can see things rationally, but believe there are more items to consider than this -- ex. the Maccabean family, who became the Hasmonean kings). So right away, it is noticeable that the ideas that the Greeks introduced into Jewish culture have acted as time-bombs of social distinction, and have created yet another major split in the religion.

The Hasmonean / Maccabean and Roman Era, beginning of the Post-Diaspora Judaism

When the violence of the war has subsided, the moderate Hellenizers have

a great deal of disagreement in the Jewish religion. As Solomon was king, people began to grow more and more restless. Some objected to worshiping a human king, while others turned away from the oppression of the poor that was going on. Political conflict in this period led to a

in Jewish history is politically chaotic, leading to high levels of splits and variations in the religion itself. One of the most disruptive types of all wars is a civil war. And this is exactly what occured at the start in the Jewish homeland of Jerusalem. The Jewish civil war was against the extreme Hellenizers (people who tended toward utter reason in their beliefs) and the moderate Hellenizers

y home to Judaism, but to the Muslim and Christian religions as well. Historically this has made it quite a busy place for the various groups. Jerusalem is where the temple of the Jews once stood. The only place on earth where one could leave the limitations of day to day life and get closer to God. In 586 BC when the temple was destroyed, no Jew would have denied Jerusalem as being the geographic center of the religion. From that point on, the Jewish people have migrated around the world, but not one of them forgets the fact that Jerusalem is where it all began. It is truly a sacred place, and helps to define what Judaism means to many people; a common thread to run through all the various splinters of the religion and help hold them together.
