	The Henna Page - Henna Traditions of Purim in Kurdistan
		Sephardic Jews celebrated a night of the henna as early as 1000 BCE, and the tradition continues in some communities unbroken through the present.
		Kurdish Purim celebrates the beauty of brides, maidens and beautiful young women, paralleling Esther's bridal beautification.
		The Jews of Kurdistan included henna in many of their social and religious celebrations into the early part of the 20th century, and Kurdish Jewish girls hennaed for Purim.

	The Peace Encyclopedia: Jews, Jewish, The Jewish People
		Jew: this is a term derived from a geo-political designation; Jews are identified with the country of Judea and its nation; this indicates ethnic and national identity rather than just belief or practice.
		A sample of Jews subdivided according to the birth-place of their parents or grand-parents have been examined for a large number of genetic markers in the course of a long-term project on the genetics of Jews.
		The Jew saw them all beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind.

	The forced conversion of the Jewish community of Persia and the beginnings of the Kurds
		As indicated in the Talmud, the Jews were given permission by the rabbinic authorities to allow conversion from the local population.
		The illustrious Kurdish royal house of Adiabene, with Arbil as its capital, was converted to Judaism in the course of the 1st century BCE, along with, it appears, a large number of Kurdish citizens in the kingdom (see Irbil/Arbil in Encyclopaedia Judaica).
		Despite this, Jews remained a populous group in Kurdistan until the middle of the present century and the creation of the state of Israel.

	Jewish Genetics, Part 1: Jewish Populations (Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Mizrahim, Yemenite, Ethiopian) DNA
		Although the genetic affinity of Jews to the ancient, Middle Eastern non-Arab populations is greater than to Arabs (as shown in the present study), a substantial portion of Y chromosomes of Jews (70%) and Palestinian Muslim Arabs (50%) belong to the same chromosome pool.
		Most Jews, the challengers maintain, must have arrived in Eastern Europe not from the west and southwest but from the south and east - that is, via northern Italy and the Balkans; Asia Minor and the Greek Byzantine empire; the Volga kingdom of the Khazars...; or a combination of all three.
		Jews were relatively well accepted, and Jewish men appear to have intermarried frequently enough with local non-Jewish women (probably all of whom converted) to create a Jewish population of decidedly mixed genetic origins.

	Welcome to The Tribe, historical timeline, who's who of current cohen-Levi families
		Though some believe they are related to the Ethiopian Jews, the main Lemba origin legend is that they are descendants of the Hebrews who emigrated from Israel to Yemen, and from their legendary vanished city of Sana'a, possibly in Yemen, across the straits to the east coast of Africa to Zimbabwe and South Africa.
		Jews were encouraged to serve as moneylenders, borrowing and lending at outrageous rates.
		Jews were among the cultural leaders and intellectuals of the period.
