Tribal Community From Manipur Joins Israel's War With Hamas
35-year-old Manashe, born in a tribal family in Maniur's Churachandpur, embraced Judaism and migrated to Israel. Now, like many other Israeli soldiers, he is fighting the war with Hamas in Gaza. He belongs to a community called Bnae Menashe which has strong roots in northeast India. Over 5,000 Bnae Menashe have tribals migrated to Israel over the last two decades. Their relationship with Israel goes back thousands of years, a bond that stems from shared Jewish history.
