This post was split off from the thread about the 10 tribes. Since Jews are not part of the 10 tribes this would be a derailment of that thread. So I have given this question it's own thread for debate.

And, to expand the question a little - how can we be certain that the Jews who claim descent from one particular patriarch haven't adopted him as their father?

Shalom Arlev,

Would you care to expand upon your question a bit? Are you speaking of father Abraham, Isaac, Jacob or Judah, Benyamin and Levi? And what do you mean by adopted him?
