Michael Freund, founder and chairman of Shavei Israel, an organization that searches for and helps the “Lost Tribes of Israel” return to their homeland, tells about why and how he started this mission and how his relationship with it has changed over time. He also shares his experiences traveling across the world to find lost tribes, and describes what it is like for those who have settled in Israel.
