Last week, 162 members of northeast India’s Bnei Menashe Jewish community arrived in Israel, marking the latest wave of so-called “lost” Jews to settle in the Jewish state.
The newcomers were met by exuberant family members and friends who danced, sang, and waved Israeli flags as they landed at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport in two groups.
The newest aliyah of Bnei Menashe members follows the arrival in Israel in February of 102 Indian Jews.
