Most Turkish-speaking Anatolians are descendants of Judeo-Christian Hellenist Greek-speaking indigenous Anatolians and certainly not to any great extent genetically descended from Central Asian colonists as per the official, yet patently false Kemalist nationalist narrative of the Republic of Turkey.
Words used in daily prayers are individually chosen in Alevism, something which makes perfect sense as standard rabbinically Jewish prayers were historically devised much later than the Assyrian deportation. Alevism being Judaism is not racism and certainly does accept persons whom Alevi Dedes may deem to be sincere converts. Members of Priestly Judaism may of course also marry each other or rabbinic Jews through a rabbinically Jewish wedding ceremony in Israel or elsewhere in the world. This is similar to the division of ancient Levites into three main groups, the Gershonites, the Kohathites and the Merarites as per the biblical narrative.
The program was titled “What is Bektashism?” and was part of the Church’s initiative to create greater understanding and cooperation among faiths to deal with the issues that concern all living and working in Europe. An Alevi who becomes Muslim leaves Aleviness (Turkish Alevilik). 6. The peoplehood designation Kurd is derived from Gorani (South Zazaki) rather than from the Kurdish language as is often presumed. There is an elaborate numerical system of countdown of days in Anatolia, reminiscent of the numerical naming of weekdays in Hebrew as used in the famous story of creation of the biblical Book of Genesis with Sunday known as Day One (Hebrew Yom Rishon), Monday as Day Two (Hebrew Yom Sheni) and so on in the intermediary days with the Friday known as Day Six (Hebrew Yom Shishi) and Saturday of course known as Shabbat, the Day of Rest. A gentile may also convert into Rabbinic Judaism and subsequently become fully Alevi by marrying an Alevi by birth and participating in Alevi Cem as Alevism of course accepts Jews as Jews, including sincere converts to Rabbinic Judaism. From its beginnings, the Church of Scientology has recognized that freedom of religion is a fundamental human right. Both Alevis and Bektashis and their Crypto-Bektashi Anatolian Muslim neighbors who make up most of the remaining human population of Anatolia write wishes on cloth and tie the cloth onto sacred trees (“wish trees”) historically signifying the tree of life (Hebrew Etz chaim), an ancient Jewish symbol which thus implicitly signifies the deep roots and many branches of the branched-out wider Jewish nation. There are each five overlapping periods of receding degrees of mourning in both Rabbinic Judaism and Anatolian folk culture. It should pointed out that the historically enforced Islamization left almost no Bektashis among Zazas/Kurds. This also signifies the future historical unification of the nation of Israel; the Female Hind (female adult deer) of Naphtali with the Male Lion of Judah as unified through the Dove of Land. This also explains the seeming superficial similarities between Alevi-Bektashi and Islam.
Anatolian folk culture constituted however the lowest, least prestigious level of religious belief in Judeo-Christian Greek civilization of Byzantine Asia Minor. The Crow/Raven and the Dove are mentioned together in the Book of Genesis yet the Crow/Raven is sacred in its semiotic absence and hence not considered as bringing good luck while being present in a pre-Messianic era where esoterically speaking the broader nation of Israel still remains territorially non-united. This is of particularly ancient, even pre-Israelite origin considering that there was a serpent cult in Canaanite religion and this apparently still exists in some form in Yezidism. Marital sexual intercourse and commercial exchange among Alevis is however avoided on Friday and Saturday in apparent esoteric reverence for the Jewish Shabbat. In Anatolian folk culture however, the period of mourning is instead longer if the deceased is a young person. Also, seeding during the old moon is considered as bringing great harvest.
