Chemistry can be defined as the study of matter and how that matter undergoes change. That is a pretty boring definition that leaves out all the fun and excitement that comes with studying chemistry.

SuperSpeed: Game of Champ Readers! Improving student reading speed, of all serious educational problems, is one of the easiest to solve.

Lost Tribes of Israel | The Lemba Back to Build a Family Tree Tudor Parfitt, the protagonist of the NOVA documentary "Lost Tribes of Israel," made a journey through southern Africa to study the unusual traditions of a black African tribe called the Lemba. This Bantu-speaking group claimed Jewish ancestry and observed many Semitic traditions such as kosher-like dietary restrictions and slaughter practices, male circumcision rites, strict rules against intermarriage, and Semitic-sounding clan names. Parfitt spent many months with the Lemba, meeting their tribal and religious leaders and observing some of their most sacred rituals. A few years after his travels, Parfitt teamed up with a group from The Center for Genetic Anthropology at University College London to look for a genetic counterpart to the Lemba's oral tradition of Jewish descent.

Lemba people The Lemba or wa-Remba (their preferred name is Mwenye)[1] are a southern African ethnic group found in Zimbabwe and South Africa, and with smaller, little-known branches in Mozambique and Malawi. According to Tudor Parfitt, Professor of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, in 2002 they numbered an estimated 50,000.[2] Since the late twentieth century, there has been increased media and scholarly attention to the people's claims of partial common descent to the Jewish people.[3][4][5][dead link] They speak the Bantu languages spoken by their geographic neighbours and resemble them physically, but they have some religious practices and beliefs similar to those in Judaism and Islam, which they say were transmitted orally.[6] Today, many Lemba are Christians (including Messianic Jews) or Muslims, while maintaining several Jewish practices.
