FINDS TRIBEJDFBLAGK JEWS Or. Jacques Faitlovitch Lectures on Them at Temple Israel Last Erf ning. THE LOST TRIBE OF ISRAEL How lie found a tribe of "Meek Jews." or Falanhss. In Abyssinia, who had evidently been driven out of the "Promised Land- with the fall of ths first temple and the Invasion, of the Assyrian J.3H0 years a;o, was told Thurs day evening; at S o'clock at Temple Israel by Ir. Jacques Fattlorltrh. of Parts, a Frem-h-Jewlsh archaeologist, who has dona much scientific work and writing about the nation of Hebrews in Africa. rrle from Paleatlae. "My discovery of the black Jews, who are of pure Jewish blood, and not ne Rroen. but only dark-skinned because of the torrid climate, was only Incidental to my scientific work in Africa," Dr. FaiL'ovItoh anld this morning at Hotel Loyal, where he met Rabbi Cohn. "I had heard rumors of a tribe of Jews In Afrta, but there had been no scientific establishment of the fart of their exist ence. "While In Abyssinia In 1!4. I came upon the tribe, which Is still living quite apart from Mohammtdana and (Tirtstlans there and has preserved Its m. lei character istics, religion and traditions ever since being firiven out of Palestine twrnly-flve centuries ago. I.nst Trlble f Isreat. "They are evidently the storied 'lost tribes' of Israel, direct descendants of the original Israelites of Pales Ine. They have a fairly eomulete history of the Jewish race, up V the time of their mi gration, and Oiey firmly believed when t discovered them that they were the sole survivors of the Hebrew race. They are the nearest approach of any to the Jews of Plhllral times. "I had a hard time convincing them that I was a Jew. Now the other Jews of the world have provided schools and places of worship for them, In order to ad vanoa their civilisation and protect them from missionary efforts of Mohammedans and Christians. Mentally, morally and physically the Falnsha are superior to other tribes In Africa. I have translated tbelr literature Into Hebrew and French and find It contains the same Merles of the creation, the flood and other early history that the Plble does. The Falashas are strict monogsmlsts, although sur rounded by polygamy." Y.W.C. A.
