From what I understand, they are the offspring (3rd generation) of KIDNAPPED Kurdish Jewish women forced to marry Kurdish MUSLIMS. They'd been raised as Muslims for 3 generations. I remember reports of them praying as MUSLIMS in the Absorption Center in Mevasereth Tziyon. I also remember the EXCITEMENT of some Kurdish Jews on the radio, thinking it to be a MIRACLE that those lost Jews had returned. I understand that the vast majority returned to Kurdistan & now mix some Hebrew & Jewish customs in their daily life. I remember one such family that had arrived in Israel as new immigrants IMMEDIATELY book tickets to Holland, never even leaving Ben Gurion Airport. Everyone gets a chance to return, sooner or later, even generations later!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477462776044974575noreply@blogger.com
