Great article. I read this and thought of the religious conflict in India..(Muslims-Hindis) I hope this group stays well. If the Muslims get wind of this they will slaughter them

probable descendants of a small group of hereditary Israelite priests or Cohanim,

How many more tribes are left to find?

I visited the synagogue in Cochin, in Kerala. Amazing place. Took some photographs of the tombstones recovered from the now-destroyed 12th century cemetery.

The roots of the community there stretch, by legend, to the Captivity.

By studying certain genetic markers on the DNA chain, found only in male descendants of Aaron, Moses' elder brother, who founded the line of Jewish priests, the Bene Israel could well claim to be the purest of the pure.

Wow, that's fascinating! Thanks for the ping, Dennis.
