- Who Were the Krymchaki – A Vanishing Rabbinic Sect (Due date 03/2018).

The author is a direct descendant of a long line of Krymchaki- a Rabbinic Jewish ethnic and linguistic society dating back at least to the time of the Bar Kochba revolution (132–135CE). This rapidly vanishing remnant of the Jewish people settled in Crimea, a peninsula (now part of the Ukraine) bordering on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Jews were brought to the Crimean peninsula by the Greeks to populate the fertile coast of the Black Sea at least two centuries.

B.C.E. Whatever their origins, these Jews together with the later arrivals formed the so-called Krymchaki, the first type of Jews to live in Crimea.
