Rabbi Altaf on Jesus and the Israelites

This is well worth watching! That's Part 1, in which Rabbi Simon Altaf discusses the origin of the Israelites. He talks of Africa, not Europe or Asia and points out the bias of European rabbis against the Kushites. He refers to literature of white European rabbis such as this:  Rabbi Hirsch on the Nations.  There always seems to be a racist element when interpreting Genesis.  This is evident in the writings of young earth creationists such as Terry Mortenson.

In Part 2, he speaks about Jesus' skin tone and His Nilotic heritage. Rabbi Simon recognizes Yeshua or Yahushua as Messiah, the Christ.

Dear Alice,

Thank you for posting this. There are many wonderful stories of the remnants of the 10 lost tribes of Israel - all compelling in my view and worthy of consideration.

Rabbi Simcha Pearlmutter tells us that the Hebrew sages teach that the Orthodox Jewish tradition of purchasing the male first born with 30 shekels is in remembrance of Yeshua Ha Ben.

(What were we thinking?)

Imagine that!
