More Mizo-Kuki Jews to return to Israel
The Telegraph | Aizawl, Nov. 7:
Altogether 275 Bnei Menashe people will be flown out to Israel by Shavei Israel, a Jewish organisation for facilitating the return of people of Jewish origin to that country, within a few weeks. This follows a recently passed resolution in the Knesset, the unicameral legislature of Israel, allowing resumption of migration to Israel of people who are officially accepted as one of the “Ten Lost Tribes of Israel”, a biblical legend.
As about 7,000 Bnei Menashe members are currently lined up to “go home” to “their” country, this team is expected to conduct interviews to choose the first batch. They are likely to visit Manipur first where a large membership lives. Most of the first batch may be from there. Ultimately, they plan to take them all “home” in batches, the sources said.
