Who we are
We are Jews who are Indigenous to Judea and Samaria, Southwest Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. We are MENA Jews that include Mizrahi, Sephardi, and Ashkenazi diaspora ancestries – along with Levantine Jewish families (those families that never left our Land of Israel, despite every attempted ethnic-cleansing by Arabs and Europeans over the last 2,000 years). Our website here, http://www.takemeon.org/dir, is offered to this world to give our extreme Indigenous Judean minority a voice on the social media platforms. Rather than listening to non-Jews and successfully colonized Jews telling our Jewish people’s historical and cultural story, listen to us instead – we MENA Jews by ancestry – who know intimately our Jewish people’s history and culture in the Levant and greater Middle Eastern regions!
