200 More Return
I have an interest in things like the returning of the Ethiopian Jewery to Israel. As I reported yesterday a number of them (a total of 20,000) are waiting for the chance to return home from exile. But that is not what I wanted to report on today.
200 members of the B'nei Menashe have formerly returned to Judaism by completing the conversion process, and all 200 plan on making aliyah in the near future. If we continue to accept the Rabbinic decision that the Ethiopian Jews are Dan, and that B'nei Menashe are who they say they are, then we have to consider, as the article points out, that the 'Lost' tribes are beginning to return home, and perhaps we need to look at what that means not just to Israel, but to us and our 'family' as a whole.
