Hebrew in Exile and the Medieval Language

One day, the soldiers of Titus, a Roman emperor, broke into the

Second Temple, destroyed it and burnt it. It was on the ninth of
Av (the year 70 A.D.), some 2,000 years ago.

The destruction of the Temple, the Bar Kochba Revolt, and a

series of harsh wars that befell the people of Israel, destroyed

the land of Judea and brought the tragedy of [the] exile upon the
people of Israel.

The People of Israel went [out] on a long exile, from which it

did not return quickly. The prolonged exile – of hundreds of

years – scattered the people of Israel throughout the whole
world: throughout [in] Asia, throughout [in] Europe, and

throughout [in] North Africa.
