Cherokee - one of the lost tribes??

Bukharian Jews are the oldest ethno-religious group of Central Asia, with roots going back for more than 2000 years. Separated from the rest of the world's Jewry they managed to survive in spite of innumerable odds and create a great culture with rich literature and beautiful music.

That's beautiful, vis. Thanks for bringing them up.



Something to add to the collection:

• Bukharan Jews
• History of Bukharian Jews - Beth Gavriel Center
• "Bukharan Jews – History and Cultural Relations
• "Bukharian Jews protect their culture in a N.Y. enclave
• "Looking Out for One's Own Identity: Central Asian Jews in the Wake of Communism

It's rather fascinating to see the history of the Bukharan when considering the ways that those from Central Asia have been treated in Russia....for with immigration concerns, Central Asians have experienced MUCH hardship from other Russians and have been greatly discriminated against in general. Some of this was discussed more in-depth elsewhere, as seen here in #74
