Yisrael’s Mother Tzipi Yudkin: The grief will never end. I want to return to grieving and eventually find my way back to the routine and the joy for life I once had. We're asking God to resurrect his blood, so to speak, so that he can continue to be and only God can do this, so we're asking Him.
DEBORAH DANAN: Yudkin noted that the phrase could have another meaning: while the middle word, "yikom," is the Hebrew word for "avenge," the particulars of Hebrew grammar mean that it can also reference the term "to rise up": an allusion to the Jewish belief in the resurrection of the dead in Messianic times. The family, members of the Chabad Hasidic movement, had requested that the inscription on Yisrael's gravestone include the three letter abbreviation for the phrase "May God avenge his blood."
AMANDA BORSCHEL~DAN: Much like the ancient Israelites, the Edomite people settled and resettled in the Holy Land during various periods of history. Their kingdom was destroyed by the Babylonians around the 6th century BCE. By the Persian era they resettled in the southern hills of Judea. By the Hellenistic period they were called Idumeans by the Greeks following the conquest of Alexander the Great. They eventually assimilated and became Jews.
AVIVA AND SHMUEL BAR~AM: Resin from the spices was so highly valued that in 26 BCE, Roman emperor Augustus tried to capture South Arabia and wrest control of the spices from its rulers. To that end, he sent an army of 10,000 soldiers, 500 Jews drafted by King Herod, and a thousand Nabateans ~ locals who served as middlemen in the spice trade ~ to help in the conquest. The fact that Judean soldiers accompanied the Roman army into South Arabia is the first indication we have of Jews in Yemen.
Jewish Virtual Library: Simeon was absorbed by Judah.
YANIV POHORYLES: According to Shmuel Avukia of the community of Kokhav Yaakov, one of the organizers of these conferences, the Romani people are the lost descendants of the Israelite tribe of Simeon.
