Shavei video in the news: Bnei Menashe in Israel and India
Video clip of Bnei Menashe visiting the Western Wall for the first time
The Internet has been all abuzz in the past few weeks with video about Shavei Israel. We wanted to share a few of those links with you.
A group of Bnei Menashe who made aliyah earlier this year paid their first visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem last week. This video documents that visit, including emotional interviews with some of the new immigrants and heartfelt song. Watch it here in English and here in Hebrew. The Israeli news site Ynet also wrote about the Bnei Menashe visit to the Kotel – if you can follow Hebrew, it makes fascinating reading here.
During their visit to Jerusalem, the Bnei Menashe sang a special song called Zion a Che Kahi which means “I am going towards Zion” in their native Kuki language. The video has been viewed nearly 60,000 times on Shavei Israel’s Facebook page. You can watch it too.
