Are you
Japanese-Jewish?
Anyone who is an "otaku" about Jewish Japanese people is very rare.
It is more rare to find a person who is Japanese and Jewish- or wants to be.
If you have a story to share or want to make contact with another JJ otaku, email the publisher, Bob Zucker.
While I am not Japanese, I am Jewish and have a strong interest in learning more. I hope to meet others who share similar interests. Visit my home page.

Link between Israel to Japan
 Jewish Japanese and Japanese Jews
brothers and sisters?
There are documented links between Judaism and Japanese people with several cultural similarities.
Some researchers claim of connections that date hundreds and, even thousands of years ago, back to Moses.
A Jewish-Japanese link is found in many parts of Japanese culture. Marriage between men and women of both Nihongo and Judaic cultures is rare, but not unusual.

Dr. Navras Jaat Aafreedi, an Indian historian, says he may have found a genetic link between members of his clan in northern India, the now-Muslim Afridi Pathans, and one of the Ten Lost Tribes. (Submitted by Dr. Aafreedi, posted 11/17/06) http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1162378397742&

Email from a researcher: "I have an interest in the connection between the Japanese word 'heburai' - Hebrew in Japanese, and the name 'herai', from the early Edo period untill 1955 the name of Shingo village in northeast Honshu. I am aware that foreign-borrowed words in Japanese tend to drop vowels; so it is not impossible that 'bu' dropped out of 'heburai', resulting in 'herai'. However, I need to establish a scholarly link that is acceptable to empirical linguistics. This requires the experise of a linguist who is willing to spend some time investigating this possibility. Please write to Dr Bruria Bergman email naniya@bigpond.com

I am interested in the Eiji Kawamorita (1891-1961) who in the 1930's became interested in a Bon dance song 'Naniya Doyara' performed in northeast Honshu. K offered the song a Hebrew interpretation and in the 1950's went on to write extensively on the subject (one title reprinted in Japan in 1991). I would like to find out why he was at all interested in Naniya Doyara and why he thought the song required a new interpretation. Please write to Dr Bruria Bergman naniya@bigpond.com
