TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY JUSTINE GERARDY
A local leader of the Lemba people, wearing a prayer shawl, chronicles the lineage and migration of the tribe on January 28, 2012 in Gutu, 250 kms southeast of the capital Harare in Zimbabwe. Yarmulkes bob as voices rise into a sacred song carried from ancient Judea to the scenic fields of a far-flung southern African village that is home to a "lost tribe" of Israel. The verses were brought in a DNA-proven journey to Zimbabwe where the Lemba live in Africanized pockets of Jewish traditions that are still passed down thousands of years after their ancestors left the Middle East. Tucked away deep in the countryside, the Lemba's strict social rules have more in common with norms in Tel Aviv than Harare: no pork is eaten, meat is ritually slaughtered, and all males are circumcized.
