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?
