‚After 27 centuries of exile,‘ 102 Indian Bnei Menashe head to Israel – Members of ‘lost tribe,’ to arrive Tuesday and Thursday, will join community in Nazareth Illit | The Times of Israel

JTA — One hundred and two members of the Jewish community in India, who trace their heritage to one of Israel’s lost tribes, are moving to Israel this week.
 The immigrants, who hail from the northeastern Indian state of Mizoram — home to the second largest concentration of the country’s Bnei Menashe community, as they are called — will arrive in Israel on Tuesday and Thursday. The move is being facilitated by Shavei Israel, a nonprofit that seeks to connect “lost” and “hidden” Jews to the Jewish state.
