Blog # 5 - Seleucids arrive in Judea

Dear Diary,
We now have a new leader in town! They call themselves the Seleucids and they are great people! When they first came into Judea, we helped them get on their feet and gave them food and shelter and we also joined their army when they went to battle. They did not forget this and soon decided to return the favor. They have agreed to repopulate Judea and help rebuild our destroyed Temple! They also decided not to make us pay taxes and let us worship freely. I see the relationship between the Jews and the Seleucids to be a very promising one where we can maintain a good relationship with one another for years to come.
