abstract
| - The Return to Zion (Hebrew: שיבת ציון, Shivat Tzion, or שבי ציון, Shavei Tzion, lit. Zion Returnees) is a term that refers to the event in which the Jews returned to the Land of Israel from the Babylonian exile following the decree by the Persian king Cyrus the Great, the conqueror of the Babylonian empire in 538 BC, also known as Cyrus's Declaration. The term was first coined, after the Destruction of the Second Temple (mentioned in the Song of Degrees), and afterwards was attributed to the event of the return of the Jews from the Babylonian exile, after the destruction of the first temple, to the Land of Israel following the decree of Cyrus the Great.
