The ten lost tribes were the ten of the Twelve Tribes of Israel that were said to have been deported from the Kingdom of Israel after its conquest by the Neo-Assyrian Empire circa 722 BCE. These are the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Manasseh, and Ephraim.

A.  I relate more to Ethiopia because it is closer to Poland than India, because I have family that comes from Poland.
B. I think that those people are two of the lost tribes of Israel, because if they practiced Judaism for this long, they probably originated from Israel.
C. They might struggle with many things, like Jet lag. But to be serious they might struggle with fitting in in their new environment,
also they might miss India or Ethiopia because Israel is totally different.

I think the lost tribe of dan is the most interesting because there are many Ethiopian Jews and there are holidays that are celebrated by Ethiopian Jews.
I think they are part of the lost tribes because they probably did lots of research and didn't just assume they were.
They might not feel like they completely fit in just because they weren't born in Israel and they are a minority in Judaism.

1) I feel like I don't relate to either because my dad lives in Israel and I still have family living there.
2) I don't necessarily think they are a part of the lost tribes because they don't have any family or prior relation with Israel. I feel like there is no way to know for sure.
3)They might have trouble adjusting to their new lives (finding a home, finding a school, learning a new language). I think we could help them by teaching them Hebrew, teaching them how to navigate their new lives (find everything).

a) I don't connect to these videos at all because I'm a reasonbly well off white boy from NYC so I can't connect to this situation. They had some really nice pictures but overall it was hard to connect with them.
b) Sure, why not. They are because history is weird so they probably are from the lost tribes.
c)They face poverty going to a new country and leaving their homes. They probably had to leave some family behind. We can help them by donating money to some place, charity is always good.

I think it is important to learn about these tribes because it is our history.
I think this are part of the ten lost tribes of Israel because they still celebrate Jewish holidays.
Some struggles are having to go to a new school, missing your friends having to learn the ways of the country.

I relate to Menashe the most because ________

# data[].attributes.body
a. I related to both of them because they were both lost and then they both were found, so I relate to both.

b. I guess so because to me it doesn't really matter if they are or not, but it is more important to me if they believe that it is true, because if they believe it is true, then it can be true.

c. Maybe going in to a new place you don't have the big knowledge because you weren't born there and people have different things that they believe in and you're not used to it, so that can be a struggle.

a. I relate to neither of them because I am an atheist.

b. I don't know because I am not the sharpest pencil.

c. Having to learn the language.
