There is a cultural context, I just forgot to add it here. Some similarities between the Pashtun and jewish customs; ''After the slaughtering of an animal, Pashtuns rub the blood on their doors. This was done by the people of Israel on Pesah, before the exodus form Egypt (Exodus 12).'' ''Lighting candles in cemeteries. Jews do this too for the benefit of the soul of the dead.'' ''Pashto Lullabies have words similar to the names of God in Hebrew - Eloah, and to the word Haleluyah.'' ''Pashtuns shake their bodies while praying. Jews do the same thing.'' ''In some Pashtuns weddings, the bride breaks a glass and sometimes the groom does it (in particular, I heard it is done by Pashtuns in Kandagar). In Jews' weddings the groom breaks it'' ''In weddings, Pashtuns take the groom over the shoulders and dance with him. Jews do the same thing.'' ''Pashtuns also make sure that until the burial, the body is not left alone. Jews do that too.'' ''Both Pashtuns and Jews put stones on graves, but this custom might be common to more nations.'' ''Pashtuns pay attention not to get a hair cut during the night. Following the Kabala (the books of Rabbie Yisshak Luriya), Jews do that too.'' ''Attan, the national dance of Pashtuns, has some similarities (especially with the movement of the legs) to Hora and Hasidic dancing of Jews.'' ''Some Pashtuns are praying towards west. If one looks at a map, he can notice that Macca is south-west from Afghanistan, but the holy land, and specifically Jerusalem, is west. Jews also pray towards Jerusalem (Talmud). We can't be sure about this one, because the west direction might have been chosen as the direction of prayer because of Macca, not paying enough attention that it is south-west, but there might be something here.'' ''No peeing towards West, which is the direction of Jerusalem from Afghanistan. This is too a law from the oral Tora (written in the Talmud). The same analysis for the custom of praying towards west applies here too.'' More examples: https://archive.ph/jOVI2
