Observe Anniversary
of Babylonian Exile
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion drew
a parallel between the declara-
tion by the Persian King Cyrus
permitting the Babylonian Jews
to return to Palestine in the
sixth century B.C.E. and the
Balfour Declaration recognizing
a Jewish national home in Pal-
estine in 1917.
Addressing a convention of
the Israel Bible Research So-
ciety held at Lydda to mark the
2,500th anniversary of the re-
turn of the- Jews from Baby-
lonian exile, Ben-Gurion said
that in both cases—the Cyrus
decree and the Balfour declara-
tion—it was not until Jewish
strength came into being that
full independence was achieved.
In the case of the Cyrus
decree, he declared, full Jewish
independence came four cen-
turies later with the victories
of the Maccabees. Similarly, the
Balfour Declaration was fol-
lowed by full Jewish indepen-
dence with the establishment of
the State of Israel and the suc-
cesses of the Israel Army.
Leading scholars addressed
the convention on various as-
pects of the Cyrus decree and
its effect on Jewish history.
Similar meetings will be held
in other parts of the country,
especially in centers of settle-
ment by Persian Jews.
