Lost Tribe Of Israel Returning Home

Hundreds of Jews from a group of thousands in India that believes it is one of the 10 ‘lost tribes’ of Israel has been granted permission to immigrate here next month, fulfilling for many of them a life-long dream of returning to what they consider their homeland. ‘The significance of this should be readily apparent, even to the most hardened of cynics,’ Michael Freund, chairman of Shavei Israel, the organization leading the charge for the return of the tribe said. ‘After all, whoever heard of an ancient lost tribe returning to its ancestral homeland 2,700 years after their deportation? Without exaggerating, it seems fair to say that this is a miracle of biblical proportions,’ Freund said.
