Transcription: Sixty-five years passed. The Jews had a temple in Jerusalem, yes, but very little beyond that. The holy city was sparsely occupied. Most Jews had settled in the outlying villages and towns rather than inside its crumbling walls. Indeed, with all the intermarriage and mixing with foreigners, the entire community seemed on the verge of losing its unique identity. The Jews' cultural and religious heritage was slipping away.
