[modificar | modificar fonte]Lor historia ante le 18e seculo es obscur, e le data de lor origin es estimate variamente inter le 8e seculo aEC e le 6e seculo EC.[11] Le proprie tradition del Bene Israel dice que illes veniva del nord e era descendentes de 14 judeos, septe homines e septe feminas, qui superviveva un naufragio.[3][5][12][13] Illes pote ser descendentes de prisioneros de guerra judee del 6e seculo qui era transportate a India como sclavos in un galera roman.[1]
Le Bene-Israel perdeva alcun de lor traditiones judee e le cognoscentia de hebreo, ma manteneva le precaria judee central, le Shema, e practicas judee como le circumcision, alcun del leges basic dietari (Kashrut) e le observation del Shabbat.[1] Plus tarde in lor historia, illes incontrava in le judeos de Cochin,[14] un communitate judee indian parlante malayalam, qui les inseniava plus super le judaismo, e consequentemente illes adoptava practicas judee sephardic,[9][15][16] dum que illes alsi era culturalmente indian.[4][17]
Le prime referentia al Bene Israel pote ser circa 1200 por Maimonides,[3] qui scribeva que "le judeos de India non sape nihil del Torah, e del leges nihil excepte le Shabbat e le circumcision."[18]
J. A. Sartorius, un missionario christian danese in India, scribeva in un epistola in 1738 que ille ha audite que il era judeos in Konkan qui non habeva le Bíblia ni sabeva hebro e cuje sol precaria era le Shema.[18]
Le prime mention del Bene Israel per le judeos de Cochin era in 1768, quando le mercante judee de Cochin Ezekiel Rahabi scribeva a judeos in Amsterdam que alcun Cochinis habeva viagiate a Konkan pro educar le Bene Israel in le detalios del practica judee, e que alcun Bene Israel viagiava a Cochin e era trainate pro inseniar super le judaismo al Bene Israel.[12]
