12.14.2022 - By Nehemia Gordon
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!
