Beidelberg:
Joseph Eidelberg (יוסף אידלבג) (February 8, 1916 – August 21, 1985) was an Israeli military commander and a plant manager of large Israeli corporations. During his career he developed a hobby of exploring religions’ roots and languages. He became a linguist, speaking 7 languages, an author, and a scholar. His research work focused on the two most puzzling mysteries in the Jewish history. [[Exodos]], the 40 years desert travel of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan, and the [[Ten Lost Tribes of Israel]], which were never found. Eidelberg’s studies present multiple interesting clues, based on high correlation between biblical stories and presently existing sites, as well as similarities of language, culture and religious ritual of African tribes to ancient Jewish languacge and culture, which suggest that Exodos took place through the Northern African desert. Eidelberg was the first historian to present this theory. He also concluded that the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel ended up their exile in Japan. His theory is based on hundreds of [[Japanese]] words, which he found with similar pronunciations, lettering and meaning to ancient [[Hebrew]]. He also discovered similarities between the Japanese culture, rituals and mythology, to similar ancient Hebrew traditions. Eidelberg was the first Historian to come up with the theories of his discoveries. A summary in his memory was written by his friend Colonel (ret.) [[Meir Pa'il]] Ph.D.. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>. Eidelberg presented the details of his theories in three books, which were published in several editions. Two of his books were translated to Japanese, one of which was printed in over 40,000 copies. Eidelberg theories have been referenced in the last half century in related books, magazines, editorials, and television shows.

==Early life==
Eidelberg was born to Haim and Clara in [[Odessa]]. At the age of 7, his family moved to [[Mandatory Palestine]] (now [[Israel]]), where they lived in [[Jerusalem]] and in Haifa. At 22, he went to England to pursue engineering, but shortly after, before World War 2, he returned to Palestine and volunteered as a Special Security Officer (Notrim) for the British army. He later joined the [[Haganah]] and served as the communication officer of Haifa district <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> . In 1943, Eidelberg commanded [[עם לוחם]](Fighting Nation), which was originated by [[Yigal Horwitz]]. He fought in the Israeli Independence war in 1948 and continued serving as a Major in the Israeli Defense Forces for 5 more years [1]. After his discharge from the IDF in 1953, he went to the USA to finish his [[Mechanical Engineering]] studies at Tri State College ([[Trine University]]), [[Angola Indiana]].
==Engineering Management Career==
Before Eidelberg joined the IDF, he moved with his family to [[Natanya]] and worked at Zusmann machine shop company, on a weapon development of rocket launcher for the [[Haganah]]. In 1948, he published a technical book and tables, for metal workers and technicians, under the Hebrew family name Hardin (הרדין), but later decided to maintain his original family name Eidelberg. During his military service in the [[Israeli Defense Forces]] (IDF) (1948-1953) he moved with his family to Holon, and served as the [[Engineering Corps]] Base Commander in Sarafand (Zrifin). He completed a paratroopers training and graduated from the [[Battalion]] Commanders' College of the IDF with [[Meir Pa'il]]. During his military service, he initiated a process of rapid clay housing construction and a pre military vocational training for young adults. Eidelberg completed his Engineering studies in 1955.
From 1955 to 1956, Eidelberg worked as a [[Project Manager]] for Mekorot, in the construction of Haifa Tel Aviv water line, and the construction of [[Ein Harod]] [[Water Reservoir]]. In 1956, he took part in the Sini War, after which he became the Plant Manager of the [[Timna Valley]] Copper Mines, reporting to company’s General Manager Meir Beit-Esh [[מאיר בית-אש]]. In 1958, Eidelberg became the General Manager of the [[Dead Sea Works]] till 1961, reporting to Director General Mordehai Maklef [[מרדכי מקלף]], who was a retired Chief of Staff of the IDF. From 1961 to 1964, he served as the General Manager of Israeli Ship Yard reporting to Corporation Manager Israel Levartovsky. Between 1964 to 1968 he became the Branch Manager of [[Tahal]], [[Iran]], where he started exploring the mystery of the [[Ten Lost Tribes]]. He later became the manager of Tahal branch in [[Ivory Coast]] (1968-1972), where he explored the mystery of Exodus. From the mid-60s until his last days in 1985, Eidelberg continued exploring and authoring his books about Exodos and the Ten Lost Tribes.
== Historian of Ancient Hebrew Mysteries ==
=== Exodus ===
In 1969, while working in the Ivory Coast Eidelberg found that a tribe in [[Mali]], named [[Bambara]], speaks ancient Hebrew and eats Manna daily. His research, which followed, was detailed in his book in Hebrew, “Bambara, A new Approach for solving the puzzle of Exodus” (במברה גישה חדשה לפענוח חידת יציאת מצרים ותעלומת עשרת השבטים), presenting a new approach for solving the puzzle of Exodus and the follow-up mystery of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The first edition of Bambara was published by Eidelberg in 1972 with publishing house Hamatmid. Forty-two years later, in 2014, the second edition of Bambara (במברה) was published by his son with Gefen Publishing House, titled Bambara: In the Footsteps of the Pillar of Fire.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The title change highlights one of Eidelberg’s theories, that [[Mount Sini]] is [[Ami Koussi]], an active volcano in North Africa, which created a Pilar of Fire, (עמוד האש). The [[Pilar of Fire]], according to the Biblical story, led the Israelites, with its fire during the night and its smoke during daylight, to the place where Moses gave them the Ten Commandments from God. A similar theory was presented in 2012 by Avigdor Shachan [[אביגדור_שחן]] in his Hebrew book “This is Sini, The mountain and the desert that the Israelites wanderd through Africa” ( זה סיני! ההר והמדבר שבו נדדו בני ישראל ביבשת אפריקה ) [26]. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The book credits Eidelberg for his related discoveries with the following translated statements.
* ''With Deep Thanks (Translated from Hebrew, Ze Sini, Top of the list on page 15)
''“To the engineer researcher, Joseph Eidelberg, whose Books Bambara and The Japanese and The Ten Lost tribes of Israel, lighten my way for forty years until my writing of this book” ''
* ''Book's Theme dedication to Eidelberg on Top of introduction page 17''
''“There is an old saying which states: whoever follows a road which many went there before, sees what many others already saw. The one who goes in a road that vey few went before, sees what very few saw before. And I followed the footsteps of Joseph Eidelberg, the one and only one that paved the road in which The Israelites who left [[Eagpt]] walked through, more than than three thousand and five hundred years ago. My Book is another layer of this fascinating road” ''
* ''About Eidelberg in the Introduction closure (p.21-23)
''“My way of researching Exodus did not follow the roads of other researches with the exception of one of them, whose way broke through a new road: My buddy and fried , the father of Exodus through African continent, (ret.) Major historian and researcher of religions and ancient languages, engineer Joseph Eidelberg, who knew how to look farther beyond the historian horizon which was written by scholars….” ''
===The Japanese and the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel===
In 1980, after spending a year in a [[Shinto Shrine]], Eidelberg published his second History book “The Japanese and the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel” , by the publisher Zur-Ot. The book expanded his theory of the route, which the exiled Lost Tribes of Israel took from Samaria, though Asia and which ended up, according to his theory, in Japan. The theory also includes additional similarities in traditions, mythology stories, writings, and rituals, as well as hundreds of Japanese words and symbols whose geneses narrated from ancient Hebrew. The book was translated to Japanese by [[Kazuo Nakagawa]] and sold in estimated 40,000 copies. Its 2nd edition was published 24 years later in 2014 by his son with Gefen Publishing House.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>. A similar theory was presented in 2003 by Avigdor Shachan in chapter 14 of his Hebrew book, “Towards the Sambation a Journy following the footsteps of the 10 Tribes” ( אל עבר הסמבטיון מסע בעקבות עשרת השבטים) [25]. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The book was translated to English in 2007 with the Title In the Footsteps of the Lost Ten Tribes.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> . Both of these books by Avigdor Shachan’s have considerable referencing to Eidelberg’s related discoveries.
===The Biblical Hebrew Origin of the Japanese People===
Following the publication of his second book, Eidelberg deepened his research about the relationship between the Japanese and the ancient Hebrew, in his third book, “The Biblical Hebrew Origin of the Japanese People”.[11] In this last book, he tabulated hundreds of words in Japanese with similar sounds and meanings to Hebrew. His research ended shortly before his death in 1985. After his death, the manuscript of the book was organized by his sister and published in 2005 by his son with Gefen Publishing House. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2) </ref> The book was translated to Japanese by Arimasa Kubo In 2012. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Eidelberg theories were sited in other publications which followed. His theory about the Ten Lost tribes of Israel were presented in a series of seven (7) episodes by a Japanese TV broadcasting station.

=== Editorials ===
=== Reader's Opinions ===
For over half a century, Eidelberg's theories received, comments, and reviews from interested readers. Some were fascinated by the depth of his work with comments such as,[17] “Excellent, insightful, fascinating book with an incredible foundation of extensive research. Brilliant.” Or, “Presented facts, particularly linguistic facts that can't be refuted. Wonderful to see how our world really is small.” Or “An extraordinary book. The author spent years of time in Japan to find out Israel's Lost Ten Tribes. Recommended for Israel and Jewish study.” While others disputed some of his Theories, such as “The Japanese are Not Hebrews!” , or “…Only with respect to the historical saga on how the Israelite tribes got from Northern Israel to Japan do I feel competent to comment, and here I have found weaknesses and errors of fact in Eidelberg’s book.”
