Why do you consider it true? What is it about this research that captivates you? "Captivate" is an interesting word choice. It's been shown repeatedly that the conclusions presented about the Yadava being jewish are ... far below what many/most would consider credible. Why do you consider it credible?
If they are false words, should they be articulated and promoted?
I remember you, friend. Is this light within you encouraging you to promote and articulate the reimagined reduced story of the Yadavas?
Maybe this? I recall somewhere reading in this thread or another that some/many Hindu believe that Moses was Krishna? Is it perhaps that you agree with some of the other ideas that come from Hinduism, and if this Moses=Krisha is true, then that helps to convince you of other parts of Hinduism being true?
I still don't understand why this particular story about Moses=Krishna, and the Jews=Yadavas is so important to you. You haven't explained it. You only said it has captivated you. Why?
Regarding the shechina, yes, everything is flowing from the the
vessel which is sometimes refered to as "shechina". Everything. Both good and evil. Truth and delusion. All of it is flowing through this vessel. Please remember, light can be both illuminating and
blinding. Captivating is not always a good thing. It's actually very very bad if one literally cannot look away and gain some perspective.
Certainly. However, hopefully you will return the favor and answer my questions too. Fair is fair.

There are many teachings about the letter Hei. There are many teachings about why it is being added to Abram to make it into Abraham.
Since you are drawn to the form yud-dalet, then I will share that the Hei is often considered the "Hand" literally "yud-dalet" = "Yad" = Hand. Hei is the 5th letter of the alphabet. Look at your hand, hopefully you are counting to 5. The number 5 is important because it represents strict justice. God's mighty hand. There's 5 attributes of justice. Dan, the judge, is the 5th child. There's many of these connections. But, and this is very-very important, there's more than strict justice, there's two hands. Both can help, both can harm, they need to work together. But yud-dalet is not just "hand" because it is 5 fingers. yud-dalet if it is added up with gematria it is 14. Now look at your hand and count up the segments. Each of the bones of the fingers, guess how many? 14. Keep these numbers in mind, 5 fingers on one hand, 14 segments of those fingers. And, the mispar-katan of 14 = 5 1+4=5.
In the story, Abram is accepting God's law and is executing it onto his own flesh. The, Hei, the hand of God, is being placed onto him in a permanent irrevesible manner. So God is placing the letter Hei into his name, an eternal remembrance. This makes sense. Abram is accepting his role in God's divine plan with his own hands, and as an eternal remembrance, God's hand is being placed into his name, forvever. But there is another "Hand", please let's not forget SaraH, who's name was previously Sarai. As a pair and a
partnership THEY together produced the Jewish nation.
Now it is complete, 2 hands working together. Count them up. 10 fingers. But don't stop there. Count all of the segments too. 28 segments. The heavens and the earth are being created in Gen 1 using 10 statements and 28 letters working together as a
team. On the surface it might seem like creation is happening by some some combination of different forces, but Judaism teaches that there is a beautiful and intricate
series of partnerships all of which is
under the complete authority of only 1 divine power.
Yes, it's true that there appears to be a plurality of powers and Abraham realized there is only 1. But that realization includes
a realization of the partnerships of the plurality
which is happening on the surface. Abram is realizing the teamwork and harmony which are all under the direction of this 1 divine power cannot be denied. Denying these partnerships, would be denying the 1 divine power itself. Once Abram had realized that these partnerships were all completely 100% orchestrated by this 1 divine power, he made a choice to include himself and partner himself with this 1 divine power. He is removing his foreskin by his own hand, and the hand of God is descending on him, AND on his wife, both of them so they can work as a team. All of this is reflecting and reinforcing this realization of a divine partnership which is all under the aabsolute authority of 1 and only 1 divine power.
That's the door. It's the realization of the divine partnerships which are happening on the surface of everything. The door is what's happeing on the surface. Walking through the door is different. Knocking down the door would be denying that these partnerships exist on the surface and are indeed part of the divine plan and divine providence.
Many see the door, walk through it ( they might call it "lifting the veil" ), and then never return or deny that the door ever existed in the first place even though... they walked right through it to get to the other-side. It's like climbing to the roof with ladder, kicking the ladder away from the roof, and imagining/declaring/proclaiming that they flew up there like a bird.
Abram did NOT do that. That would be denying the Torah, more-or-less by rewriting it or claiming it is irrelevant. And that's how one knows if a person is *actually* a Jew even if they were not born from a Jewish womb.
A Jew is a person whose lineage traces directly back to the Torah that was given at Mt. Sinai. That's it. There's 2 ways that God has designated for determining this lineage.
If a soul is delivered from a Jewish womb, or an individual
will not let anything stop them from converting per Jewish Law.
It has nothing to do with light in them, or a voice that they listen to. We are instructed NOT to listen to voices of light. We received a Torah in magnificent detail. That is what we listen to. That is what makes a person a Jew. It is a direct connection to that Torah. The Torah is many things to many people. It is a living Torah. Most don't understand what that means. It means there is an unbreakable undeniable partnership between the Torah and the individual. Denying it hurts them. For some the Torah contains stories that describe what they SHOULD NOT to do. For some the Torah contains of stories of what they SHOULD DO. For some it contains the secrets of the universe. For me it contains the path to peace.
That is the answer to "What exactly is a Jew". It is an unbreakable undeniable lineage to the Torah given at Sinai.
