(Bless YHVH the blessed One; Blessed is YHVH,
the blessed One for all eternity. Blessed are you, YHVH, our Elohim, King of
the Universe, you have selected us from among all the peoples, and have given
us your Torah. Blessed are you, YHVH, giver of the Torah. Ameyn.)
Jer 23:7 “Therefore, see, the days are
coming,” declares יהוה, “when they shall say no more, ‘As יהוה lives who
brought up the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim,’
Jer 23:8 but, ‘As יהוה lives who
brought up and led the seed of the house of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of the
north and from all the lands where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell on
their own soil.”
Isa 27:12 And in that day it shall be
that יהוה threshes, from the channel of the River to the wadi of
Mitsrayim. And you shall be gathered one by one,a O children of Yisra’ěl.
Footnote: a Jer_3:14-15.
Isa 27:13 And in that day it shall be
that a great shophar is blown, and those who were perishing in the land of
Ashshur and the outcasts in the land of Mitsrayim shall come, and shall worship
יהוה on the set-apart mountain, in Yerushalayim.
The so
called “lost tribes of Yisrael’’ have never been lost because YHVH knows where every
one of them have always been. They are alive and have assimilated into all the
nations and through them blessing has flowed into all the nations.

‘’At a groundbreaking conference experts recently gathered in Jerusalem to discuss the status of Pashtun, a tribal nation of tens of millions of Afghani and Pakistani Muslims who believe they are descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The experts discussed how reconnecting Israel to the Pashtun will have enormous consequences, most notably as their prophesied return.
“From their side, every Pashtun knows their roots are in Israel,” Nadav Sofy, spokesman for The Association of the Bani Israel of Afghanistan told Breaking Israel News. “At this point, we are just trying to raise this awareness among the Jews and to build bridges.”
The Pashtun, an Iranic ethnic group of 50 million Muslims living, refer to themselves as the “Bani Israel,” very similar phonetically to the Hebrew term for the “children of Israel,” Bnei Yisrael.
“The Pashtun have an intricate and strong tribal system and are meticulous about family genealogy (Shijra), but within this tribal framework is a strong oral tradition that they are descended from the lost Ten Tribes of Israel,” Sofy explained to Breaking Israel News.
“Many Pashtun have family traditions identifying with specific tribes. Those from the tribe of Yusufzai, for example, believe they are descended from Joseph, Lewani from Levi, Rebbani from Reuven, Afridi from Ephraim, Gaghai from Gad, and Benyamin from Benjamin.”
Sofy described a surprisingly long list of customs among the Pashtun, which are also observed by Jews. Pashtun men wear four-cornered fringed garments that are similar, though not completely identical to, Jewish prayer shawls.
The Pashtun are Muslims and therefore, observe the Sabbath on Friday. Nevertheless, many of the Pashtun light Sabbath candles in their homes on Friday evening like Jewish world at large, which celebrates the Sabbath from Friday evening until Saturday evening.
Many of the Pashtun wed under a cloth canopy as is customary for Jews. However, while the groom traditionally smashes a glass cup in a Jewish wedding in memory of Temple’s destruction, at a Pashtun wedding, the bride breaks the glass.’’
