Among the people an ish named Ezra rose in learning and zeal for the Torah.
He gathered writings, instructed households, and strengthened those who desired to return to the Covenant.

“If we carry the same corruption back to Yerushalayim, we shall rebuild walls without rebuilding the people.”
The captives listened, and hope began to take organized form.
