Nearly 250 B'nei Menashe Members from Northeast India Resettle in Israel

Nearly 250 members of the B'nei Menashe community from Manipur and Mizoram recently arrived in Israel under Operation Wings of Dawn, a government initiative to resettle thousands by 2030. The B'nei Menashe, numbering 7,000 to 10,000 in northeast India, identify as descendants of the biblical tribe of Manasseh. Their adoption of Judaism, involving Hebrew study and religious observance, has evolved over decades, though they are not automatically recognized as Jewish under Israeli law.
