The article addresses narratives that tell of a member of the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel who comes to the rescue of a Jewish community. The tales were documented at the Israel Folktale Archives, in the second half of the twentieth century, and were told by informants from Morocco and Greece. While it is probably impossible to trace the exact routes of these “cultural possessions”, around and across the Mediterranean, the texts nevertheless provide a glimpse into the ways in which a network of Jewish communities shared a meta-narrative while adapting it to their own regional contexts. Although these tales are quintessentially diasporic, they also provided a platform for negotiating post-exilic identities in the new Israeli national context.

侨民与怀旧：在地中海旅行的犹太故事

这篇文章讲述了以色列 10 个失落部落的一名成员前来营救一个犹太社区的故事。这些故事在 20 世纪下半叶被以色列民间故事档案馆记录下来，并由来自摩洛哥和希腊的线人讲述。虽然可能无法追踪这些“文化财产”在地中海周围和穿越的确切路线，但这些文本仍然提供了对犹太社区网络共享元叙事的方式的一瞥，同时使其适应自己的区域背景。尽管这些故事典型地是散居国外的，但它们也为在新的以色列民族背景下谈判流亡后的身份提供了一个平台。
