Kabbalah and Cabals

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Dave C said:  There's this controversial story about the wholesale 
conversion to 
Judaism of the Khazars, a tribe in the Caucasus.  It shows up in some 
rather old rabbinical writings, I believe, but isn't very widely 
believed.  The claim is that after conversion, the Khazars spread through 

Europe and were the ancestors of many Ashkenazic Jews.

Check out Milrod Pavic's _Dictionary of the Khazars_, a novel from three 
perspectives about Khazar conversion:  Judaic, Christian, Islamic.
