DVD Review: An Intriguing Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
Simcha Jacobovici takes us on a fascinating journey along the most treacherous road on the planet to uncover remnants of Jewish tribes that many historians, both Jewish and non-Jewish, had thought have completely assimilated into their surrounding cultures. The Northern Kingdom of Israel had been destroyed by the Assyrians ca. 722 BCE and the people from those tribes were dispersed throughout Asia; i.e., the tribes settled along the Silk Road from what is now the Afghanistan and Pakistan border to the eastern border between India and Burma. The exile of these tribes is captured on Assyrian stone reliefs. What Jacobovici discovers is astonishing. I was fascinated that the physical features of these widely dispersed people is identical to the features of the population among whom they dwell, whether they be Indian, Arab, Chinese (or in the case of the Ethiopian Jews, apparently descended from the tribe of Dan, African). Jacobovici's first stop is in Manipur, India. He meets with Indians who claim descent from the tribe of Menasseh and who are persecuted by their neighbors. The Menasseh, however, greatly admire the Israelis, and have acquired a sense of pride and a willingness to actively fight their enemies in self-defense. Many have undergone conversion and are now Orthodox Jews. Some of them have made Aliyah to Israel. Jacobovici then travels back along the Silk Road and meets with descendants of the tribes of Issachar and Naphthali who still observe ancient Jewish practices in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Continuing his journey further to the most dangerous region, he learns that the Pathan (or Pashtun) Muslim tribes that live along the Afghanistan/Pakistan border are outwardly strict and zealous Muslims (the treatment of Muslim men toward their women is very disturbing) but still observe many Jewish rituals, such as wearing tallesim (prayer shawls) and lighting oil lamps (not Shabbat candles) before sundown on Fridays. Moses is a revered figure among them. He finds Pathan sub-tribes with names such as "Rubeni", "Gadi", "Simoni" and "Ephremi". Returning to India and the city of Mumbai (formerly Bombay), he discovers remnants of the tribe of Zevulun. The only tribe Jacobovici cannot locate is Asher. The question Jacobovici raises is whether all of these dispersed peoples will return to the land of Israel at some point and thus usher in the Messianic age, in accordance with statements of various Jewish prophets. According to Biblical prophecy, the Messiah is supposed to be an offshoot from the seed of King David. I wouldn't worry about it. The Talmud says that if a man is planting a tree and someone comes up to him and announces, "The Messiah is here!", the man should just continue planting the tree. So to all who have read my review, just keep your day job. :-)
Description of Quest For The Lost Tribes
In this compelling program from A&EŽ, embark on a globe-spanning search for the fabled Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and discover extraordinary new evidence surrounding a mystery which has tantalized the world for thousands of years. When it was conquered by the mighty Assyrian Empire in approximately 722 B.C., ten of the twelve tribes of Israel reportedly vanished into the mists of history. Pursuing clues across time and space from the Middle East to India, Afghanistan, and even the Native American territories, historians attempt to separate myth from reality. What do these new archaeological discoveries say about the Lost Tribes? Can the lineage of these tribes be traced across a span of thousands of years? And will their prophesied return to Israel mark the beginning of Armageddon? Join the adventure of discovery in this eye-opening and thought-provoking QUEST FOR THE LOST TRIBES.Bestsellers in DVD
