Did you know there are Jews in Zimbabwe? Learn about the Lemba community

Anthropologist Malka Shabtay and Dr. Rabson Wuriga, a professor and a leader of the Lemba Jewish community, join Emily Frances in studio to discuss the Lemba community in Zimbabwe.
Dr. Wuriga shares the Jewish customs and the ancient history of the Lemba people, a diaspora community that traveled from Jerusalem to Yemen and ultimately ended up in Zimbabwe. He's also written a book about the customs and traditions of the Lemba Jews.

    We so called Dinka (we call ourselves Monyjang meaning men of men, Lords of Men, or Masters of Humanity) and brothers so called Nuer (Naath) are Hebrews. Our cultural and religious practices are pure Hebrew. Two British anthropologists did a cultural study on us, and were surprised that our culture and religion resembles the ancient Hebrews. According to our oral history our fathers came from Judea and were exiled into Egypt and then exiled into Northern Sudan (land of Cush) and during the Middle Ages they were exiled into Southern Sudan where we now rule ourselves after thousands years of hell: read Isaiah 11:11, Isaiah 18, Zephaniah 3:10, and Amos 9:7 all speaks about us and other Hebrew tribes in East Africa.

    @@nippypinto E.E. Evans Pritchard a British anthropologist, author of 'Nuer Religion', after he thoroughly studied our culture and religion, us the so called Nuer (Naath) and Dinka (Monyjang), declared: I am, of course, well aware that Nuer religion is very unlike what we know in general about Negro religions. One cannot even say that it is a typical Nilotic religion. It is certainly very unlike the religion of the Anuak, of the Luo of Kenya, of the Acholi, of the Alur, or of the Shilluk. Indeed, only the religion of the Dinka can be said to have strongly marked affinities with it, and it can be further said that in some respects the religions of these two peoples resemble less other Negro religions than some of the historic religions. They have features which bring to mind the Hebrews of the Old Testament. Professor C. G. Seligman clearly sensed this, as his account of the Dinka and Nuer shows; and Miss Ray Huffman, an American Presbyterian missionary who spent many years among the Nuer, remarks that 'the missionary feels as if he were living in Old Testament times, and in a way this is true' (p. vii). And read, Divinity and Experience the Religion of the Dinka by Godfrey Lienhardt. These anthropology books proves beyond any doubt that we are Hebrews, descendants of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.

    That is incorrect. There isn't a term called Israelite in the Ancient text. And Judism is the practice of the discipline of war under Judas Maccabeus. This is all BS. I should know. I'm an ordained Rabbi, I have 2 PhDs on in Divinity and Metaphysics. And I'm an expert instruction in Yiddish (so called modern herbrew) and the original (Lashawam-Quadash) and Assyrian Hebrew (paleo/phoenician). The boat story comes from the origin of the peoples in Guatemala who are of the house and decent of the real Israel (Yasharahlah). This man is a straight up liar.

    The Lembas are not Israelite nor Jewish. Those who have converted to Judaism in recent years are gerim and hence Jewish, but nevertheless, they're not of lost Israelites. It's time to stop pandering to fabricated legendary myths and group delusions that were installed in them by evangelical missionaries a century ago. Some are partially descendants of Yemeni Arab men who were present in the region and were practicing folk Islam before they were evangelized into Christianity, which explains why they don't eat pork.Most are christians and some are Muslim, a few have converted to one of the branches of Judaism that are not necessarily accepted by Orthodox authorities. Wearing a modern taalit acquired from Ashkenazi Jews or drawing a star of david doesn't prove anything.
