The African Jewish Community That Was Told It Didn’t Exist | Unpacked

In Zimbabwe and South Africa, the Lemba have kept Jewish traditions for centuries—observing Shabbat, keeping kosher, and preserving an unbroken lineage. Yet their isolation from the wider Jewish world has left their identity in question. Now, DNA and oral tradition confirm their ancient roots, but recognition remains elusive. Their story challenges what it truly means to belong—and who gets to decide.

Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion. Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between. About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking. #africa #people #story
