Product Description
In this compelling program from A&E , embark on a globe-spanning search for the fabled Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and discover extraordinary new evidence surrounding a mystery which has tantalized the world for thousands of years. When it was conquered by the mighty Assyrian Empire in approximately 722 B.C., ten of the twelve tribes of Israel reportedly vanished into the mists of history. Pursuing clues across time and space from the Middle East to India, Afghanistan, and even the Native American territories, historians attempt to separate myth from reality. What do these new archaeological discoveries say about the Lost Tribes? Can the lineage of these tribes be traced across a span of thousands of years? And will their prophesied return to Israel mark the beginning of Armageddon? Join the adventure of discovery in this eye-opening and thought-provoking QUEST FOR THE LOST TRIBES.

The story of the Pashtan of Afghanistan, of the Beta Israel, the Lemba, the KaiFong Jews of China are reasearch done long ago by others with better credentials then him.
When will people recognize that his job is to put the cameras in, read a script and file it with his company and collect his money.
He is the Jewish Ron Wyatt.
 Jewish Lost Tribes were never lost June 16, 2008
Rev. E. Antonio Hernandez
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Simcha Jacobovici, a brilliant, sandpapery, pushy film documentarist, went out in the late 1980's to find the Lost Tribes of Israel. He was the man to do it: he was instrumental in reducing the number of the Lost from ten to nine, by documenting the "plight" of Beta Israel, the Ethiopian Jews. Thanks to Jacobovici, the entirety of the Tribe was taken to Israel.
Here, Jacobovici takes us deftly and expertly from one location to another, a real-life Indiana Jones, questing not for artifacts... but real people. We find him interviewing Taliban organizers back in the day when no one knew who they were. In this film they claim they are of Jewish descent. We find Jacobovici chasing around Afghanistan, looking at Buddhist stone tablets written in Aramaic. We see him chatting with all manner of people, all over the world, who somehow know they are, not Jews, but Israelites.
We see people we never knew existed, and we thrill to the narrative of their voyages of self-discovery. They are Jews, and there is even an Indiana Jones-like rabbi, Eliyahu Avichail, right out there with Jacobovici, assisting these lost tribes to return to Judaism. Several of the groups, originally filmed in their home countries such as Burma and India, are later filmed living happily in Israel.
The only annoying tendency is Jacobovici's excessive presence and narration-- jobs he can easily give to others. It is also distracting to move from his adventures to ridiculously sloppy cuts of various lectures he is giving on the subject in different places. (In one such shot, Eli Wiesel is in the audience listening intently to Jacobovici talk about Jewish prophecy.)
Anyone interested in Jewish culture, prophecy, anthropology or just plain fun documentaries: GET THIS.
 Very interesting theory - 'if true' July 7, 2007
Josephus (Knoxville, TN United States)
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
If you are interested in the future of Israel and that of the Jewish people; you will find this DVD `very' interesting. Both Jew (Simcha Jacobovici; the director is Jewish) and Christian can see the evidence of `possible' prophecy being fulfilled in our lifetime; that is `if' what Mr. Jacobovici says is true. Even the state of Israel believes that some of the lost tribes (the most famous of that being Dan - found in of all places Uganda) having already come back; Also Manasseh came back in 2007 (being found in of all places (northeast India).
Jacobovici travels to many remote areas to search for missing links to the 10 Lost Tribes - if nothing else this is a good travel log film. As for me (I'm an evangelical Christian) I think Mr. Jacobovici's hypothesis is fairly solid although not as of yet proven. To bad that Mr. Jacobovici lent his name to the "Tomb of Jesus" debacle - which at best is a theory with even less evidence to back it up than the "Quest for the ten lost tribes."
