Huh they actually got it back. They even brought back the circumstantial equivalent of Latin (i.e. used in academic pursuits but not a common tongue) as a spoken language.
Are the Jews the only people to do this after so long?

Well I guess it depends how you define it. I feel saying they got it back is a misnomer. Most of those jews have very little relation to the jews of old. The religion isnt the same, they are not really genetic descendents and most of them had very little connection to the land. The only really solid connection is the bible telling them that it is their land.
That being said they have had an impressive history as a foreign invasion. Their organization is superb and they mananged to be militeristic without falling into dictatorships. In my head they are similar to the Teutonic order.
> Are the Jews the only people to do this after so long?
yes, basques, welsh and european minority languages in general had been sending people to Israel to study how they did it

>Most of those jews have very little relation to the jews of old. The religion isnt the same
Well they inherited the tradition. Most of what is Judaism today are the laws and rules enacted by the Sanhedrin (as far into the 4th century AD). They inherited it and moved about.
>they are not really genetic descendents
Most genetic studies tend to point to good genetic diversity through converts, but not anything insane.
>most of them had very little connection to the land.
Probably the biggest issue. The religion and society moved away from the land but now they're back.
Not only Jews were that successful, just look at belgicans.

The 4th century jews was well into the jewish diasporah.
