We Were Never Lost: Uniting Jewish Tribes w/ Rudy Rochman

Mar 12, 2023 | Eli Nash sat down with Rudy Rochman to discuss his documentary series 'We Were Never Lost'. The series aims to reveal the history, experiences, and aspirations of the lost tribes of Israel, including those who have kept their identity but have been forgotten by the Jewish population. The conversation touches on assimilation, crowdfunding, and power dynamics in Nigeria, where Rochman and his team were abducted by armed militants claiming to be the Nigerian FBI. Rochman recounts his team's three-week captivity, their lack of access to food, and the danger faced by his friend with an immune system disorder. Despite the trauma, Rochman views the experience as an opportunity for growth and character-building. The conversation also explores the use of Ayahuasca, a plant medicine for spiritual growth that should be approached with care and intention. Ultimately, the documentary series aims to unite all Jewish tribes and bring them back to mainstream consciousness.
