LETTER TO INTERIOR MINISTER

To,

Meir Sheetrit

Hon'ble Interior Minister of Israel

Respected Sir,

I, on behalf of Bnei Menashe and in personal, would like to express few opinions. We the Bnei Menashe claim o be one of the lost tribe backs around 1978, when Rav Eliyahu Avichail found us out. I do appreciate the reason behind the decision made by you to slam automatic citizenship of Jews in Israel. This should be done to prevent anti-social element and for the security of Jewish people in the future.

However, sir, I request you to review your decision before you actually finalise it. We, especially Bnei Menashe are orthodox contrast to some whose grandfather-jews-Russian, and do not want to be an innocent victim over which the so call grandson-jew-russian have committed. I request you to review your decision to change the Law of Return. You can however do in selective way. We come to Israel under strict orthodox law.

Sir, We are not coming to Israel to make money nor do we come to fulfil a desire for higher standard of living or gain economic prosperity. We do know we are are from the third world, however that does not mean we are begger here. To be honest we have lands, farms, building, cars etc, and everything what a person need to enjoy a life, holding high status, officers, we did not have to worry for our economic status here in India, rather, we left all that in love for Israel. We come to Israel where we have to start a new life, a life of a full fledged Jews. We in general are religious minded, "Better to live like a pauper in Israel where we can observe Jewish laws than live like a King in (in strage land) where we cannot serve G-d with our hearts" We left everything we had and come to Israel empty handed anticipating a warm welcome from our Jewish brethen, however it is the opposit.

Respected sir, please do not close the door for us and for the whole Jewry. May be G-d has given you an opportunity to do the0 "greatest mitzvah of all time". I request you to investigate, we are orthodox in general and will continue living, we serve in the army, we have several Rabbis, non of the Bnei Menashe in Israel involved in life threatening activities. We are praying daily to be there in the Holyland to serve our G-d with all our hearts, yearning for Zion. We all are comming under Jewish orthodox law. We are praying everyday pouring our hearts to G-d for more than 25 year since, waiting to come to holyland and observe te laws.

If you actually come and see how we take pain not to discreet the laws of Moses, you will come to know, who we are.Sir, Time come and go, but we will continue what we did, may be G-d has given you a chance to caused the exiled to return back home. Let you be the first to acknowlge the "Return of Lost Tribe" and change the history of Israel forever - the greatest Mitsvah of all time.

Hoping you to accept my humble request. Anticipating your positive response

Yonathan Haokip (Menashe)

Pray for Massiach Ben Joseph

Request to Jewish World
Yonathan Haokip

Jewish brethen, let us request Meir Sheetrit, Interior Minister of Israel not to change law of return, for all the Jewish around the world and Bnei Menashe and Ethiopian Jews in particular. To give automatic citizenship to every Jew. That there will be a smooth ingathering of the exiled and to every Jew who wants to settled in Israel.


They love Israel with their hearts, and they have the rights to return to their ancestral homeland. They are the son of Abraham.


They are back! The Menashe son of Joseph, son of Jacob is back!, Ye children of Israel, help your brethen, who longs and cry to return to his forefather's land. Who take pain not to discreet the law of Moses. Honest, shy, religious and amazing tribe of Israel, will one day save Israel. Messiach the son of Joseph has come, give way, help them who have been lost for 3000 years. How would you let them sing the Lord's song in a strange land.


This is only the beginning, there are 9-10 more Tribes of Israel yet to be discovered and yet to come to their Home land. Do you really think about this? that G-d will distroy (G-d forbid) all the 10 Tribes? He will not, as we call the "Lost Tribe" they are only lost and will be found one day as it is promised.


Many organization and leaders who wants to participate in gathering exiled tribes, worth mentioned are Rabbi Eliyahu Avichail - Chairperson of Amishav (father of Bnei Menashe) who found the Bnei Menashe and led all Bnei Menashe now living in Israel with the help of Michael Freund - chairman of Shavei Israel and Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, founder of IFCJ, who paid and wish to pay for the cost, and the Jewish Agency as well, and many other Rabbis, social workers and philanthropist and journalist around the world. They visit and see with their own eyes the lives of Bnei Menashe. They genuinely felt and proved that the Menashe son of Joseph is Alive! They readily agree to serve the lost tribe, why Sheetrit does not even bothered to to asky them why, how or where about of Bnei Menashe.


We request to all our Jewish brethen to request Sheetrit not to change law of return and allow the Bnei Menashe and Ethiopian Jews to return back to their ancestral homeland.


Enlightened us!


Please politely request Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit at: mshitrit@knesset.gov.il.
