Types of Jewish Identities • FamilySearch

6/13/2023 Thank you for this article. I learned about the Knowles Collection today!

Very good information, thank you. To be clear, are you saying that Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, and Crypto-Jews are rooted only to the tribe of Judah?

Thank you,

I'm wondering why melanated people are always ignored in these Jewish articles. Especially since this was created by the LDS. In scripture, which has the best and most accurate genealogies, did Solomon's beloved not say "I am black but lovely" ? The line of Dawid was a melanated people. So was Samson. Somehow "Jew" which has always been short for Judah in my entire lifetime up until recently when the "internet" decided to begin saying that is not true, have turned all of the tribe of Judah into Europeans. Refusing to go no further south in Africa than the farthest northern countries. Still showing images of these people who are certainly brown, as European looking people. Yet the Ethiopians who by the time this article was written, was well known to be "of Judah" but are totally skipped over by the writers and presenters of this article.

I am also wondering where is any evidence that Jews came to America in the 1400's before colonization, and settled in the SW part of The United States or in the SW part of The America's. Keeping in mind that these people are and have been portrayed as looking European. It seems no one can get the origin story accurate from one article to the next, but let us stick to Germany as an origin, since Ashkenazi supposedly means "Germany" in Hebrew. There are many problems with this statement since the writer decided to say Germany has an original Hebrew word for it but I digress. The problem still exists in that the original Germans (not including slaves from Africa) still appear European.

Dates, times, places, language, and people just do not add up in this article, as well as articles about the people in The U.S.A. who declare themselves Jews or the people in Israel who claim the name Jew or Israel. Why would a people come to America, all the way over to the Pacific side of America where there is no one but American Indians, get baptized as Catholics, but practice Judaism and not keep the heritage alive as they did so very carefully in scripture, but chose instead to wipe out genealogy by not telling their children? This one act all by itself is NOT what Hebrews or true kings and princes of Judah would have ever done, no matter what the cost. Scripture is evidence of this. Being cut away from the tribe was a threat hard to bear in scripture but today, we see a people that claim to be Israel who seem to have no issues with denying who they claim to be.

Here is a thought the world seems to be afraid to think, let alone speak. Could those who can so easily deny who they are supposed to be, actually be imposters? Rev 2:9 and 3:9
