What is going on with the Lemba?

I recently learned about the Lemba and how DNA evidence proves they are in fact Jews. I have since been trying to find out what is happening with them. To my understanding a number of them converted to Christianity. I was wondering if anything was being done to reconnect them with their Jewish roots similar to the programs that have attempted to reconnect other black Jews who converted. On that same token I was wondering what was being done to allow those Lemba that want to make aliyah.

I know it is a shot in the dark since I couldn't find the information anywhere else but I figured if anyone site would know it would be this one. I would also like to know if there is anyway I can help the Lemba.

The questions are great. I think we all need to put our heads together and plan to find the Lemba people. I will try to find them and get back with you. I hope other people will try to.

Sorry I'm getting back to you so late with my help. The only thing that I can suggest is looking on the inter net or calling the JCN for info on the Lema. Good luck with your search Evan.

Re: What is going on with the Lemba?

Firstly, the main problem here is the fact they practise xianity. The believe in jesus as the Messiah and have distaneced themselves from Judaism, regardless of what DNA says. That doesn't mean there is no hope but for them to return something needs to be done to remind them about the Jewishness and history just like the Igbo in Nigeria etc...

The same is with the Shona Jews of Zimbabwe etc... There are many such tribes and the greater Jewish community is afraid to get involved at the moment as a lot of politics come into play. Some of them are not sincere and please note, Im not saying they all that way, so their desire to become jewish is not always accepted as honest.

Before things can go further things like whats going on in Nigeria need to take place, re-educating them. Once that is around and the desire to return is sincere then we should help them return and not turn our backs.

Just a question, why is this question asked regarding the Lemba, what about the Jews in Nigeria/Uganda/Ghana etc?

If you want to help, we are currently helping the Ugandans in Putti to return and build up a solid infrustructure.
