I'm no great authority on Jewish history, but I just can't resist asking this. Why should a community of Jews who has been wandering through Europe for the past two thousand years, and whose clothing and appearance are that of Eighteenth Century Polish nobility, feel more confident that they are of true Jewish stock than a community of Jews which apparently has been in the same area, isolated from the rest of the world, since the Bayis Rishon?
