The claim of the Bnei Menashe to be descendants of the tribe of Menashe, exiled from the Land of Israel more than 2,700 years ago by the Assyrian empire, has stirred controversy in Israel over the years.
The Chief Rabbinate initially did not consider the Bnei Menashe to be Jewish, and their immigration was halted at the beginning of the 21st century amid contention. But in 2005, then-Sephardi chief rabbi Shlomo Amar formally recognized the Bnei Menashe as descendants of one of the Ten Lost Tribes, though still requiring them to convert to Judaism as soon as they arrive in Israel.

It is a FACT that many Christian sects believe the British and American people to be descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel. It also is a FACT that the Chief Rabbinate will NEVER acknowledge this.
Those who believe in two covenants, one for Jews and one for Christians, do not live in Israel. They may NEVER live in Israel.
