They don't recognise the authority of common jew in Turkey.
They have been in İstanbul since Byzantine times
They use word Tengri (old Turkish word for god, today we use tanrı)
The name of their religion chef is Hazan
They have similar rituals with Islam(e.g Wudu, Prostration)

I've heard India had a Jewish community but i don't know much about them. Can you tell me more please Oxydracae?

There were Jewish merchants in India 2500 years ago? Their seafaring skills must have rivaled the Phoenicians

Originally posted by Khazar Prince I think I'm about the most stereotypical of the Khazars there is. BTW. We are distant relatives of Scotts/Irish aka the Celts. the sepparation of our tribes happened about 2,000 years ago. Celts are believed to be also a Turkic people from Southern Europe, and a lot of us do look similar to them in our features.

the events in the old testament actually happened in central asia, where is now northern iran, east iran, afghanisthan, pakistan, northern india and so on. not in the middle east as people think.  the canaan and philistine are mongoloid people. the name cina is not derived from chin dynasty but from one of canaan sons, sini. their place was called sina. this name had been written in sanskrit texts like mahabarata long time before the establishment of chin dynasty.  the people of central kingdom never call themselves cina until now. and they have never been mongoloid people. they call themselves tionghua/cunghua and call their tiongkok/cungkuok. the last han dynasty was ming. tionghua/han people are erupoid but some are mixed race from syela one of yehuda's sons from his canaan wife. tionghua/han people are yehuda from other branch as written in tawarikh.  han people called philistine donghu/dongyi/tungus means pigs and canaans as dogs. the origin of prohibition of pork is because the mongoids sacrifife pigs for theirrituals. they worship dragon and consider themselves as dragon.s decendants. the israelites settled in central asia more than 2000 bc. before ancient parthian people arrived in that region.   the last han dynasty was ming, it was destroyed by mongoloid people and most of them butchered. the remnants of han people fled to the south. the royals accompanied by residents of the great city also accompnied by decendants of harun, fled to indonesian island. due to condition they hve forgotten their roots. in indonesia they suffer really harsh condition.  indonesia is part of edom/esau/seir mountain. edom/esau is yakup's brother. edom became puru tribes they are the one who wrote vedic. edom is india now and all area influenced by it.

Actually there is an Irish luliby that talks about the Celts coming from Southern Europe. BTW. The Hunns where Khazars come from had many different groups in it, and Most Aryan groups came from Caucus Mountain region a long time ago. The Celts, Udmurt and Khazars are only removed from each other about 2,000 years. Hence why we look a lot like each other. The irish look more like us then they do with the Anglo-Saxons.

europe is babel and europeans are kasdim people. this happened longtime before the influx of nordick people into central europe. the old testament/tanakh has secret information, known as sod in hebrew. the israelites settled in central asia maybe more than4000years ago before old parthian came to that area.  harun decendants in han was known as fang shih. han people are yehuda/judah from other branch.  the last han people dynasty was ming. most of the people killed the rest took refugee in south.
