"The fate of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel has fascinated Jews and Christians throughout the ages. Hillel Halkin, a writer and translator, has long been intrigued by the old legend that the tribes still exist in distant corners of the earth - a legend that, like nearly all contemporary investigators of the subject, he considered to lack all factual basis.
In 1998, he accompanied a Jerusalem rabbi and dedicated Lost Tribes hunter to China, Thailand, and northeast India in search of traces of the biblical Israelites who disappeared in the eighth century B.C.E. The journey ended among a little-known ethnic group living along the India-Burma border who had themselves been swept in recent years by Lost Tribe fever. Haikin returned twice more to the Indian states of Mizoram and Manipur for a deeper look.
Gradually, despite his initial skepticism, he became convinced that this remote group is - incredible as it may seem - historically linked to the ancient biblical tribe of Manasseh." "Across the Sabbath River is the compulsively readable account of Halkin's experiences in arriving at this conviction."--BOOK JACKET.
