Ted re: No wonder I didn't know about the Khazars......they didn't teach legends at my middle school. <g> so you knew then that short of small number of people, really small, they were never converted to Judaism. And If I recall it correctly, they eventually became eithe Christens or Muslim, surprised? After giving it some thought I realized it is more likely than not that Khazars Jews were never absorbed by East European Jews at all. There is a part of russian population, kazaks, that are traditionally anti-semitic. There is an interesting story how they come to exist. In few remote areas jews established independent small communities that were independent of nobility. The time of origin is somewhere around the time when Khazar state was destroyed. All of the kind of outlaws were joining those communities. Eventually larger number of outlaws absorbed few jews founders. They still carry some features that came from the southern regions where Khazars used to live. Even the names are similar - khazars and kazaks. So it is likely that while moving north they were not absorbed by local jews but rather became kazaks who are not jewish at all. Any other theories that I can destroy while I am at it <ggggg> -Albert, the last jewish khazar
