Question

What color was the original israelites?

Answer

Hello & Greetings

According to our tradition, the skin color of the people of Israel is average, neither the darkest nor the lightest.

As it is written in the Mishnah in Negeim, [the time of writing the Mishnah is – about two thousand years ago].

The reason for this is because the people of Israel settled in the Land of Israel, which is located in the east of the world, and averages between Europe, which is located in the north of the world, and Africa, which is in the south of the world.

Welcome

Rabbi David Ohayon

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
