How did Jewish history make the Jews a unique people?

In: Judaism [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

All nations of people have unique experiences and so all peoples are in some ways unique. The exile to Babylon certainly did not make the Jewish people especially unique, but the permission to return was probably unique in history. Only some of their contemporaries, also exiled by the Babylonians, were ever afforded this chance.

So the Return from the Babylonian Exile was the one great event in Jewish history that made them truly unique.
