feb 7, 584 BC - The Jews in Babylon were allowed to return to
the Land of Israel,due to Cyrus's decree.
Initially, around 50,000 Jews made aliyah to the
land of Israel following the decree of Cyrus as
described in Ezra, whereas most remained in
Babylon.
Later, an unknown number of exiles returned
from Babylon with Ezra himself. The return of
the deportees to Judah during the next 110
years is known as the return to Zion,
an event that Jews ever since have been
inspired by.
