Why do you think Alexander
the Great is important to
Jewish history?

-The Judeans submitted peacefully to Alexander as he marched through Palestine on his way to Egypt.

-When Alexander took the coastal road to Egypt, he had to make arrangements to administer the country. It is signi cant that he maintained the religious and political privileges that the Jews had enjoyed under the Persians. Basically, he left the governing system intact and replaced the Persian officials and administrators with his own officials.

-In the centuries after the death of Alexander, when he became “the Great,” the Jews sought to associate themselves with Alexander and his greatness. Jewish sources told of a supposed visit by Alexander to Judea and Jerusalem, and other traditions began to develop and circulate, as well.

-Another celebrated legend involving the Jews and Alexander is preserved by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus.
