From pp.66-69 “Jews, God and History” by Max I. Dimont
(After the first movement back to Judah/Jerusalem) Jerusalem became prosperous again. The population grew agriculture and commerce flourished, and the increased tribute Cyrus had foreseen flowed into is coffers.
But in Palestine, the Jewish leaders were worried. The country, to all intents and purposes, was still a satellite nation. Any day a ruler could ascend the throne of Persia who might not have the tolerant attitude of Cyrus. The threat of expulsion or abrogation of religious liberties might one day hang over their heads. What additional measures could Jewish leaders take to prevent the ethnic extinction of the Jews in such an eventuality” The problem they felt, was no longer how to survive as individual Jews, but how to survive as a recognizable Jewish people. Could a feeling of Jewishness be embedded even deeper in the Jewish soul than the Prophets had thrust it? Could such a feeling be driven into the unconscious so deeply as to become a part of the total personality” (Note: This is exactly what Fard did with the so-called American Negro and the NOI)
