- Bnei_Menashe abstract "The Bnei Menashe (Hebrew: בני מנשה, "Sons of Menasseh") are a group of indigenous people from India's North-Eastern border states of Manipur and Mizoram who claim descent from one of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Since the late 20th century, they have been studying and converting to Judaism from Christianity, which most of their ancestors had adopted in the nineteenth century. In January 2013, the 2000th Bnei Menashe immigrant arrived in Israel, and 5,000-7200 in India are working on formal conversion and hope to emigrate.The Bnei Menashe are made up of the Mizo, Kuki and Chin peoples, who all speak Tibeto-Burman languages, and whose ancestors migrated into North-East India from Burma beginning 6,000 years ago. They are called Chin in Burma. Prior to their conversion to Christianity by Baptist missionaries in the 19th century, the Chin, Kuki, and Mizo followed animism and practiced ritual headhunting.They have come to believe that the legendary Kuki-Mizo ancestor Manmasi was the Hebrew Menasseh, son of Joseph. The Judaic group was named Bnei Menashe by Rabbi Eliyahu Avichail, founder of Amishav, dedicated to finding the Lost Tribes and facilitating aliyah, who investigated their claims in the 1980s.In the late 20th century, many of the Bnei Menashe started studying normative Judaism and hundreds went to Israel, some completing conversions there. Critics thought their being settled in the unstable Judea, Samaria and Gaza Strip was part of a recruiting campaign to help increase Israel's population; others said the people were economic migrants, and not true Jews.[citation needed] In 2005 the Chief Rabbi accepted them as Jews due to their devotion, but still required formal ritual conversion. Later that year, Israel began to refuse to issue the people visas after India objected to Israeli teams entering the northeast states to perform mass conversions and arrange aliyah. As of 2010, about 7200 Bnei Menashe are expected to go to Nepal to complete their conversions while abroad. Israel will then assist those who want to resettle as Jews.".
