The mystery of the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel has captivated the imagination of societies around the world for centuries.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

I am an Indian Jew myself✡️. I belong to Bene Israel tribe. I love Israel 🇮🇱 but I will never leave my India 🇮🇳. Few years ago when my family decided to move to Israel to live more Jewish life. Our Hindu neighbours came to our home and some of them started crying. They got very sad. Honestly Hindus are a very simple and emotional community. My family finally changed the decision of moving to Israel. We Jews never faced any discrimination or persecution in India because of only Hindus. They treat us like their own family members. India is a Hindu majority country that's why small minorities like us Jews & Zoroastrians never faced discrimination. Being a Jew, if Israel🇮🇱 is in my heart then India🇮🇳 runs through my vein ♥️. Jay Hind🇮🇳 Am Yisrael Chai🇮🇱.

In both tribes there are a mix of religions (including everything from Hindu, Christian, Islam, Shamanism, Judaism). It not necessarily a religious war but a war for resources and territory. That said, majority of meitis are Hindu and majority of Kuki is Christian. So it can be said, Jews were not primary targets in this. Still horrible though either way.

Yes and he brought you back to the land NOT because of your obedience or because you have done well, but because of HIS names sake Ezekiel 36. He has brought you back into the land unbelieving but he will one day breath life into your bones, replace your heart of stone with a heart of flesh Jeremiah 31:33. Then you will look upon him whom you have pierced and cry like one cries for their first born Zechariah 12:10. I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense; in their affliction they will seek me Hosea 5:15. They will then ask him, where did you get these wounds in your hands. And he will say in the house of my friends Zechariah 13:6. In the new testament Jesus said before he was betrayed to be condemned to die in Matthew 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! 38. See, your house is left to you desolate. 39. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ Baruch ha'ba b'shem Adonai!!

@@Bruised.reed.not.broken Israel doesn't need your preaching...Gentile. The Lord has always taken care of Israel, way before any gentile was allowed to be close to the Lord. Worry about properly understanding the scriptures, instead of just babbling about without any understanding. Don't forget that Saul of Tarsus, an alleged Apostle to the Gentiles was a Jew. He was a Jew, of the tribe of Benjamin. He was not a Gentile, God didn't choose any Gentile to preach to the Gentiles, he chose a Jew. So know your role, and worry about your own personal salvation. God will always keep and protect Israel without your help, Gentile.

The social scientist Lev Grinberg commented that "right wing Jewish groups wanted such conversions of distant people to boost the population in areas disputed by the Palestinians." This is politically motivated- these people were Christian- they’ve been Christian for generations. The movement began in 1951, when a tribal leader reported having a dream that his people's ancient homeland was Israel; some tribal members began embracing the idea that they were Jews. Before the movement's start, the community was largely a Christian one. DNA testing doesn’t exclude the possibility they could be *extremely* distantly related but just look at the Wikipedia page! “researchers found no genetic evidence of Middle Eastern ancestry for the Mizo-Chin-Kuki men.” All of this stinks of Israeli settler propaganda. (Coming from an American Jewish perspective)

The Bible clearly demonstrates that the 10 tribes of the North weren’t fully lost, many people from each tribe settled in Jerusalem during the war with Assyria and the archaeology in Jerusalem verifies that there was indeed a sudden population boom and refugee crisis in Jerusalem during the reign of Hezekiah…. Hence there are no “Ten lost tribes”, but there are indeed a massive number of Jews from those ten tribes that were displaced centuries earlier than the main Jewish diaspora in 70AD

Religious Jewish communities around the world is what brings up the question... Jewish converts are much more rare than people claim it to be... The thing is... Only ten tribes were lost.

Some claim that Samaritans are from the tribe of Ephraim and Manasseh but this is arguable...

Amazing the blatant misinformation that a simple search clears up. 1. The “beni menashe” started out in the 1950’s as a Jewish messianic (christian) group and learned all they did about jewish practice from books in the 1960’s. Literally the group began because one man said in a dream God told him so. They have is no history before that point. 2. The group was named the “beni menashe” by rabbi Eliyahu Avichai, the leader of a group that explicitly looks for these so called lost tribes. 3. Dna testing has at best been in-conclusive at best and at worst shown there is no middle eastern substrate to the "beni menashe". Incredibly dishonest.

The bible surprisingly mentions where the tribes were exiled to. 2 Kings 17:6 "In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the Israelites to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River and in the towns of the Medes." Melakhim Bet: 17-6 in the Tanakh בִּשְׁנַ֨ת הַתְּשִׁיעִ֜ית לְהוֹשֵׁ֗עַ לָכַ֚ד מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר֙ אֶת־שֹׁ֣מְר֔וֹן וַיֶּ֥גֶל אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אַשּׁ֑וּרָה וַיּ֨שֶׁב אוֹתָ֜ם בַּחְלַ֧ח וּבְחָב֛וֹר נְהַ֥ר גּוֹזָ֖ן וְעָרֵ֥י מָדָֽי:

Do you know about the Cananaya Christian’s of Kerala, south India? They do not marry with us and claim to be Jews in Mesopotamia before they came to India as Christians to evangelize us but not to intermingle with locals. For them to go back to Israel, should they be converted back to Judaism?

There were 2 kingdoms, but the 12 tribes are a literary motif. There are no lost tribes just lost individuals. Torah wasnt even finished being compiled until 4th century bce. Meaning, centuries after Assyria sacked Samaria. They might have been "lost", but it almoat certainly happened after the babylonian exile and absolutely wasnt from a specific "tribe". Theres zero evidence suggesting yizrealites were broken into 12 tribes, but substantial evidence they were from 50+ different peoplegroups. Not 12 sons of a man , a "mixed multitude" who created a unifying mythology, applying the likely GREEK 12 tribe motif when Alexander showed. Yea, that late. Chronicles is interesting. It might better represent the divirsity among the "yizrealites", when it discusses davids soldiers, chr1. Like chapter 9 to12 i think. Sucks they are getting crap for being different.

Bnei Menashe, their paternal yDNA's are not indigenous to Middle East. It is O-M175 mainly East Asian Paternal Lines. (Chinese etc..,) No other Jewish populations came from O haplotype. Possibilities converted. Therefore 5,000 in Israel and 5,000 in India today. Shavei Israel's Rabbi Michael Freund who helped Bnei Menashe. 07:07

It is a scam to get better standard of living. If kuki are bnei menashe tribe then mizo and chin who are larger kindered groups naturally comes under it. They were animistic, head hunters and without script and culture that has no resemblance to jew community. It is an effort to better their living condition and Israel too benefits from it by settling them in west bank. By this definition, majority of tribals in northeast, north myanmar and yunan in china comes under the group, which is unscientific. DNA test will easily clear this nonsense or make it as it is and say they are not bnei menashe but converts.
