The exile had brought a significant amount of change to how Judaism was practiced. Before they got exiled by the Babylonians their life revolved around the temple in Jerusalem, which the Babylonians have destroyed. The Hebrews believed that this was an act of god like when they were slaves in Egypt and then freed. They believed that they have to still keep their beliefs till god saves them again. Since they didn’t have a temple to go to where they made animal sacrifices they shifted their minds to the religious side. This is what led to the rise of

I believe that Roosevelt was defining American values that he believed should be humanistic values. I think that Roosevelt was trying to show the people of the United States as well as citizens of foreign countries how we expected them to conduct themselves.
