I found a lost Jewish tribe in India! 2,000 years ago, a small group of men and women were traveling on a ship from Judea through the Indian Ocean trade routes. The ship got hit by a storm and sank. Only 7 men and 7 women survived. They had no books, no Rabbis - just memory. And they kept the Jewish practices they knew: no working on Saturday, doing circumcisions, and believing in one God. And for 2,000 years, these traditions were kept alive. And then in the 1700's, something unexpected happened. A group of Jews were traveling along the coast in India and met this group of people. They realized that they were Jews. And so they built Synagogues for them, taught them Hebrew, and they learned what had been lost over time. Today, this tribe is called the Bene Israel Jews. 2,000 years ago they washed up on this shore in India. They didn't know where they were or if anyone would come for them. So they stayed. And somehow, all these years later, they were found.
