But why do you not accept your other jewish brothers ? I am Ukrainian catholic and I am trying to understand Jews and Karaites as same ?

@@vadymmironenko7054 Let me explain it to you like this. A Catholic and a Baptist Christian believe 99% of the same thing, right? But you will never hear a baptist call a catholic his brother. What may seem like a small difference, is in fact HUGE to them. The Karaites reject the oral law/talmud... and talmudic judaism IS modern judaism so anythign else is gonna be called heretical by them. Look at tha Karas kind of like the protestant reformers, they reject all commentaries on the scriptures and take only the scriptures. What a christian would call "sola scriptura" Scriptures alone

@@jonathansoko1085 But, isn't karaite Judaism the real Judaism ? I am not Jewish, I am Byzantine Catholic and in Lviv we have a few Karaite jews here and they tell me they are not like the Jews in rest of Ukraine. But, why does Talmud say bad things about us non-jews ?

@@vadymmironenko7054 I am also a byzantine catholic. they sure do claim that they practice it, but lots of groups make that claim, like the modern samaritain isrealites, look them up too. At the end of hte day it doesnt matter, Christ fulfillled the law and there is no function of "judaism" as it was, in our world today. The Catholic Church (the only church) is the natural progression of scripture and "religion" from the bible, aka judaism. Alot of our practices, icons, even the structure of our churches are based in biblical "judaism". We are the product of Christ coming, fulfilling the law thus birthing his church. Natural evolution. Karite jews do not do sacrifices (even tho animal sacrifice has no power anymore either so its irrelevant), thats what biblical jews did, so im not sure how failtful they are. But again, it doesnt matter since "judaism" today has no authority and their rituals have no power.

@@jonathansoko1085 I agree. Where you from ? I am from Lviv, Ukraine where here our main faith is Byzantine Catholic, some call us Orthodox Christians.. Ukraine mostly is Orthodox nation, but in West Ukraine we are Byzantine Catholics. Yes, I know Judaism today is not important, as Christ fulfilled everything.

Khazaria

2:50 This music is intriguing, anyone know it's name?

Do not refer to the language the people speak. For instance, Caucasian Jews speak the Tats language (the Farsi dialect) but they are not Persians. We are Turkic spoken but not Turks. We are Jews, not Rabbinical Jews. The scoundrels pretending to be Turks are just afraid of antisemitism, but real Karaites consider themselves as Jews. We have such last names as Kohen, Levi. So, how can we be the lost tribe with such last names? BTW, all the European Jews (Karaites and Rabbanites) have some small percentage of Turkic blood due to the Khazars, but still consider themselves as Jews.

@@yelenalipskaya1353 \ personally I have no issue with Semitizim or else.. I don't judge people of what they inherit but with what they possess of human values.. Judeism is a religion but hardly a race.. or are afraid you will loose the benefits if you claim otherwise.. if you a have a DNA test you will have an idea of which race you are descenant of. I'm originally form North of Caucasia, almost of the shore of İtil (Volga), still speak the Kipchak dialect.. I am aware that we are descendants of ''Turkic'' race, others can claim what suits themselves, just because many Turks converted to Islam, does not make them different to us.

@@jivanselbi3657 DNA of Karaite Jews shows their close relation to other Jews.

Commentary that is not true to the straightforward meaning is erroneous at best and fraudulent at worst. This is precisely what Rabbinical Judaism is -- intentional fraud and deceit for the most part.

They are from Khazaria

Before the times of Judges, every Jew was a Karaite Jew.

Every normal Karaite Jew prays in Hebrew.

@@yelenalipskaya1353 @8:20 actually he prays in some version of turkish, and I can barely understand him.. Definitely not ottoman turkish. I guess it is crimean tatar dialect...As for "ottoman soldiery", karaites are not very much connected to ottoman empire. AFAIK, they are a crimean people and connected to crimean tatars.. There is a karaite sinagogue in Istanbul, around hasköy district...

@@sahhaf1234 Only Lithuanian Karaite Jews including the Polish ones (just several families remain in Poland) pray in Karaite language, nevertheless, all others, including the Crimean ones pray in Hebrew as they supposed to do. Only them who are afraid of antisemites proclaimed themselves as separate folk, but all others including Turkish ones consider themselves as a part of Jewish people, which is true.

Samaritan religion flourished with many people partaking, unfortunately their population did not bounce back after their revolt against the romans. The Jews regrouped their numbers after their revolt but the remaining samaritans assimilated into Palestinian and Syrian Islam

​@@SammytheawesomeILikePotatoes The chief Samaritan scholar, Binyamim Sedaqa (known on FB as "Ben Sedaka"), argues the Samaritans numbered at their demographic peak no more than 1.5 million in total, on the eve of their first anti-Byzantine revolt in 484.

@@ZviJ1 keep in mind world populations at the time, 1.5 million was a much bigger number at the time than now. If they continued growing from 1.5mil 1500 years ago then their numbers would be significant in the modern day

@@SammytheawesomeILikePotatoes In AD 484 there were at least 3 times more Jews worldwide. If we begin the "what if" game, I can launch speculations on what if the Bar-Kokhvah Revolt succeeded.

BenkethePirate They didn't ban your native language, your heritage, your culture.İf Ottomans did those things like other empires,you must speak turkish. Look at the native Americans,Australians and they lost everything.

@BenkethePirate It is not true.. Most of Turks don't support ottoman ideology but you are uneducated. Bte armenian genodice is a big lie.

@BenkethePirate I don't interest what cruiel Hitler said. 'armenian genodice' is an imperialist lie... That's it

@BenkethePirate I don't support ottomans.. I am a republican but you don't know anything about this topic. Armenian genodice was a imperialist lie.. It was a project of sevr treatment.. you mean armenians trying to get independence and forming milita with russian support and started cutting local Turks and then relocated?

@יעקב יעקב You are just ignorant person. It was never happened. Go and read Bernard Lewis

When i watch a documentary and it mentions a personality that i do not readily know about, i normally stop and do a precursor reading on him/her. It really helps. Just some advice.

No this group started later and for different reasons.

you don't belong

You must be dumb then

Frankism didn’t exist until the 1600s Karaites started to organize in response to the growing influence of pharisaic Judaism in the 600s-700s. Frankists came out of Sabbateans as Jacob Frank claimed to be the reincarnation of Shabbtai Tzvi, much of Hasidic and Kabbalistic practices find its origins in the writings of followers of Shabbtai Tzvi aka “crypto-Sabbateans” even many of those close to the Arizal were sabbateans, Rabbi Yonatan Eibeschutz was definitely a Sabbatean his son was openly a Sabbatean. Rabbi Jacob Emden fought against it but the heavily. But the Karaites utterly rejected Kabbalistic mysticism and hated Sabbateans and Frankists claiming that they were satanists long before anyone else did.

Do Karaites believe in Yeshua as Messiah?

@Narayana 69 so basically they are pre-Talmudic Jews and Levites?

@Narayana 69 thank you that was insightful... good to have an educated voice in the crowd to clear up any questions.

Do Christians derive some perverse fun from assuming the Qaraite Jews view JC/Yeshua as the/a Messia? In this age sufficient information about this is readily available on the internet to find.

@@braggsean1026 There is no messiah

Khazars are Turco Mongolian(Altai) group.(Turkic gene tribe)Khazars are Turco Mongolians(Altai)that converted to Judaism in mid 7th century.

It means read

Readers, actually.

No it doesn't, not in Hebrew. קרא (Qara) means "to read" . קראית (Qaraite) means "people who read" basically. Also, there's no evidence that the entirety of the Khazar Empire converted to Judaism.

Leonardo DiPartlow It doesn't mean Black. At all.
