About the so-called Khazar Jews.
It's very hard to believe many Jews would have gone over the Caucasus to go convert a whole tribe.
Maybe their King did(maybe why he left)
Judaism has never been popular, but so was Islam in this region!
The Khazars dissapeared like so many nations did, they probaply went up into the Kazaks.
Like Prawda said most Jews were made slaves, and were brought to Europe, the rest fled to North Africa to end up in Spain and Italy, to go again after new persecutions in those countries to the rest of Europe, and Eastern-Europe.
There is still little known about the early midle-ages.
Don't forget it was the collapse of Rome, THE civilization then!
