themselves? What do you think? How has the history of Judaism influenced the Jewish people's understanding of themselves? What do you think are the most important events in their history?
 
Judaism is the longest single history I know of. May be read a book about it? Cahill, Gifts of the Jews, is good.

I think the explusion of Jews from Grenada was a big deal in (is it?) the 14th century.

I think the 3 Jewish wars with Rome, including the Masada one in 66AD were turning points.

The Babylonian enslavement, obviously.

And, the establishment of Israel in 1945 - that's a big deal!

Peace
