In this episode of Hebrew Voices #151, Royal Attire 1: Lost Tribes and Magical Names, Nehemia talks about an 18th century Karaite letter to the king of Sweden with Dr. Gabriel Wasserman. They discuss how the Jewish concept of “peoplehood” contrasts with modern ethnic nationalism, how tax persecution led European Karaites to deny their Jewish heritage, and the theory that Karaites are the Ten Lost Tribes.

I look forward to reading your comments!

BaL’Shem ? Magic? There was a false accusation against Yeshu’a Ben ‘El ‘Elyon that it was by magic that the people were healed, and one person referred to my desire to apply the healing made possible at the cross as magic. Only by denial [rejection] of Yeshu’a being Yehovah Go’alkha Q’dosh Yisra’el [Yesha’yahu 48: 17] could such a statement be made.

Greetings, I have heard that All Jews are Israelites, But not that not all Israelites are Jews? But that Israelites are pedominantly lost 10 tribes,and Jews are predominantly Juda, Benjamin and Levi? and that they were loyal to Reheboam?? What is your understanding of this?

Important: Nehemia, your guest spoke of a book written in Arabic, but using Hebrew letters. As I begin to learn Biblical Hebrew, by first learning Modern Hebrew, I was told the reason for the difference in pronunciation is 50,000 men from Europe returning to Israel that refused to learn the unfamiliar sounds that yet remain in Arabic. My question is: Was I wrong for assuming Arabic and Hebrew being different languages in script only? I have been believing that at the time of the writing of the Scriptures, all the sons of Abraham spoke the same language.
