Some thought them to be, but apparently it's not the case.

  • Answer 2:

From time to time throughout history, reports surface as to some far-flung community having its origin in the Lost Tribes of Israel. Some of these claims are more or less within the realm of possibility (such as certain people in Afghanistan), while others are preposterous (such as certain indigenous North Americans). The actual situation, however, is that it is now halakhically impossible to give binding credence to any of these reports, even if they were to be substantiated by DNA analysis. Judaism operates according to tradition; which is why, for example, we don't eat sparrows or bluejays today, even though they're undoubtedly kosher in the technical sense. The tradition from one living sage to another has not come to our generations concerning these birds; so de facto, we can't eat them, despite their meeting the written descriptions of the nature of kosher species. Similarly, as far back as Talmudic times (1500 years ago), the Sages report that the Lost Tribes could no longer be located or identified, and communication with them had ceased totally. So, sensational claims and "proofs" notwithstanding, the identity of the Lost Tribes remains something that we can only pray about and wait for, along with the Future Redemption.

Are Fijians really the lost tribe of israel?

Very unlikely. The only potentially useful test would be DNA analyses. It is far more likely that the current populations of Arabs in Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, are, at least partially, descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel.


Are African Americans the lost tribe of is real?

It is unlikely that African Americans are a lost tribe of Israel. Perhaps some African Americans have ancestry from the middle east. We know, for example, that the Lemba tribe that is dispersed in a large area of Southern Africa has at least some ancestors who were Yemenite Jews, and we know that the Falasha of Ethiopia have traditions that mark them as Jewish. It is a huge leap from the fact that some sub-saharan Africans have Jewish ancestry to the assertion that all sub-saharan Africans are descended from a lost tribe.
