Sep 11, 2023 at 11:59 comment added יהושע ק Actually, I think you've gotten to the ikar of the matter- how was Galut Mitsrayim different from the other galuyot? Why were we able to keep our language in Egypt for 210 years without the Torah, but unable to do so in Babel for 70 years with the Torah
Sep 11, 2023 at 11:56 comment added Dov If the second part is problematic I'll keep just the first part that mentions the midrash
Sep 11, 2023 at 11:40 comment added יהושע ק Being led away by the Babylonian army wasn't a forced exile? Fleeing the Romans? I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm just trying to understand this answer
Sep 11, 2023 at 9:49 comment added Dov Yes, but up a point. One could argue that it was an enforced stop due to famine, and then they were thrust into shibud mitzrayim.
