As a Jewish Ethiopian I am happy to see that our story has been shared more and more on TH-cam in recent years 😍😁 Peace and love to all minorities and everyone else, be proud of yourself ☮️ ❤️
I've been wanting to ask a Jewish Ethiopian if they have ever heard of or ever read the Book of Mormon? I think it is a history of a tribe of Beta Israel. The book describes a prophet who leaves Jerusalem around 600 BC. The church that published the book claims the prophet sailed to America but I think the narrative in the book describes Ethiopia.
@@redfightblue heard about the book but did not read. correct me if I'm wrong, But as far as I know Ethiopia has nothing to do with the narrative in the story
@@DIOBrando-ry1cy You are mostly correct, let me explain. The LDS church published the book in 1830. They say it is the story of Jews who left Jerusalem around 600 BC. They were fleeing the Babylonian Exile. Then they sailed to America and the rest of the events in the book take place in pre-Columbia America. This has lead to all LDS trying to figure out exactly where the events took place. There is plenty of geography in the book that should be able to be identified however the members of the LDS church remain confused and conflicted. Half think it took place in Mexico and half think it took place in USA. Scholars have stated the book is fiction because it speaks of items that are not found in pre-Columbian America. Things like steel, wheat, horses, elephants, cement etc. I believe the book took place in Ethiopia. All the problems with the anachronisms and geography can be explained if the events took place in Ethiopia and is the account of a tribe of Beta Israel. I'm wondering if any Ethiopians have ever read the book and realized it is the history of their people. That would confirm my theory. For example, the book repeatedly refers to a major river that flows North. The civilization revolves around the headwaters of this river. The LDS members try and say it is the Mississippi in USA but that river obviously flows South. I think it's obvious the river is the Nile and the headwaters are in Ethiopia. Other clues are the land is green and lush and the land to the North is dry and desolate without trees and the buildings are made of cement. This is clearly referring to Ethiopia and Egypt. Another major geographical landmark is a "narrow neck of land". This narrow neck seems to divide the world in two with one major land mass to the North and one major land mass to the South. The LDS are looking for this in Mexico or USA but I think it's obviously the Isthmus of Suez. Anyway, if I'm correct, the book would have great historical value to Ethiopians.
Lol so much whitewashing of history and racism. . No mention of the sterilisation of Ethiopians or the fact that Israel was VERY reluctant to take them and it took pressure from US and UN. And rabbis in New York protested.
I understand the pain of associating yourself with people who don't really want you. People must relax and return to YAHOVAH our Creator and seek HIS ways rather than subjecting their children to racism. Watch and Learn how Kongo, Swaziland, South Africa and Zimbabwe will be accepted as the Land of the Saints. What will happen then to you children that identity themselves with the word Jewish? The tribes are identified by their father's Clans. Let me highlight this . I am a South African that has a Surname or a clan name that clearly discribes me as a Descendant of Gatsheni that appears as Gashana in Ethopian map. We've got the accurate lineage of Gatsheni imbedded in our history. We don't use words like Israel but N'guni which translates to Saints. We are able to identify 7 tribes of through these clan names and their Kings. Gad went out of Canaan voluntarily and he has Kings of his tribe and the tribes of Benjamin, Naftali,Juda,Dani, Reuben and Levi. Ethopian Jewish people should not try hard to convince anyone about their identity because as the Bible says the Nguni tribes will be found doing their ancient thing of slaughtering animals and now having faith in Msindisi (Messiah). The nations are going to put on shame when they realize how have they been doing boasting themselves wrongly thinking that they are N'guni (Saints) whereas they are not.
I'm Jewish (half Ashkenazi and half Yemeni) from Israel, My father was a soldier that took part in the Solomon oroperation! Very very proud to say so😁😁😁
Thank you so much as a Jewish Ethiopian who was born in Israel and my whole family was born in Ethiopia. I just watched a video of someone wondering about Ethiopian Jews and what their origin is. And it was hard for me to explain in English ! so I shared this excellent video that sums it all up into a nice, short video !! ~
I've always wanted to ask an Ethiopian jew if this is true that you believe in the book of Enoch? Do you have a different Bible than the other Jews? I'm doing some research that's why I'm asking.
@@natnathan9656 No, they do NOT have a 'different Bible'. ALL Jews have the EXACT SAME Bible (TORAH) regardless of what diaspora nation they lived in the last thousand or 2 years. The Ethiopians are EXACTLY the same as we are, just darker skinned because they lived in Africa for a long time..
Wonderful video! My husband is Israeli, and he always glows about the Ethiopians he was in the army with; how patriotic they are, how dedicated to Israel; what wonderful people and friends they are. It makes me cry to see the news footage of the people coming off the planes and kissing the ground having arrived in Israel. As an American, I can hardly imagine the harrowing lives they had trying to escape persecution. There are some very good movies that tell the story and help us to understand and empathize. I’m so proud that they have found a home in Israel. Our people are beautifully diverse!
Because, back in Ethiopia they always consider Israel, specifically Jerusalem as their sole home country. When there is news about Israel being under attack, all of them including my classmates get prepared to go on foot and defend Israel. In deep rural mountainous Ethiopia, all of them do have David's star sign on the tip of their rural houses and also have israel's flag on animals skin. Now almost all are in Israel. All of these Bete Israelitis used to live deep inside mountains of Ethiopia.
A lot of Jews in the Arabian peninsula converted to Islam or married into Muslim families…it wouldn’t surprise me if most Arabs have some Jewish ancestry !
Can I ask you if it is true that beta israel believe in the book of Enoch? Is it in your Bible? Do you have an English translation of the Ethiopian jewish Bible? I'm very interested in your history because I'm doing some research. I'm looking for a list of all the books of the Ethiopian jewish canon. I hope you will answer me.
@@natnathan9656 you're confusing Ethiopian Jews with Ethiopian Church, which indeed has the book of Enoch in their Bible. But Ethiopian Jews like all other Jews practice Judaism, and share the same "Jewish Bible", the Tanach. It doesn't contain the book of Enoch, as it's not recognized as authentic by the Jewish scholars and rabbis.
Kudos sis, as an ethiopian jewish i was waiting to see if you will make the mistakes most people make but you were perfect 👌 0 mistakes, loved the video and the thorough research keep it up ❤❤❤
I live in US I’m Ethiopian and my mom’s and her family are Jewish I just don’t like the ignorance towards Ethiopian in Israel but still have the blood and I’m happy
Sister, come HOME to Israel. Don't believe the lies of the Jew hating media that want to divide all Jews so they can hurt us. There are Ethiopian Jews who marry Israeli Jews from different backgrounds, Ethiopians in the Police, Army, Knesset etc. Ethiopians are the newest immigrants, but they are quickly becoming more Israeli every day and mixing in beautifully. You and your family belong here with all the Jews of Israel who will love and protect you. Start studying Hebrew (if you don't already know it) and come HOME!
@Birhano the "Ashkenazim" are not 'mad' about it, they LOVE their Ethiopian, Yemen, Morrocan, French, South American etc etc brothers and sisters. Jews on not judged on where they lived in the exile, but on their commitment to Torah. No one can divide us.
@@lelo4275 Make Aliyah and i will meet you at the airport and buy you a falafel and fruit juice sister : ) Don't believe all the lies and anti-Israel/anti-Jewish comments - the Jews in Israel love our Ethiopian sisters and brothers and want you HOME with us!
Jews, from any tribe, from any racial, ethnic or national background, are my cousins from the dozens. Most Jews I know feel this way. This was a wonderful video. Thank you, mishpucha. All the best.
But you hate non jews like Palestinians. Also Ethiopians got sterilised that was conveniently left out. And the Israel was very reluctant to take them and it took pressure from US and UN. And New York rabbis protested
Well said, our Ethiopian brothers and sisters are among the greatest contributions to our society here in Israel. They are very humble and strong and it is my hope that there will be a lot more injera in Israel!
People can change identity religion to immigrate. Documents are easily made Jewish people are not dumb. Many brown Indians are questionably jews. Some Indians acquire Portuguese passports and get out of the country showing Portuguese ancestry. Sickeningly sick. Seen muslims converting to Chritianity for German citizenship. Jewish are originally strictly Caucasian . They are more interested in settling In Israel for jobs and income than following Judaism
@@AC-ny1di I don’t religiously practice Judaisms hell I don’t give a shii about religion, my blood is from Abyssinia, lion of Judah and I was born and raised in California, American.I didn’t even know there were Ethiopians in Israel until about 2011 lol We didn’t ask y’all to come assist us, your government and high rabbis declared us to be related, I’m a Nega. I always had similar features to that of Shia Buff, Adam Sandler’s, my boy Corey Matthews, it’s in the Curly fros and the Noses 👃🏽lol
yes, they maybe all that, but they are not jews, the jews are semitic people from the line of shem and the ethiopians are hamitic people from ham/hamites. the jew(ish) people converted to a religion,, it is impossible to convert to another nationality. the jew(ish) people stole the nationality of gods true chosen people. where are the other 11 tribes.
Since you are an Ethiopian jew, can you tell me whether it's true or not that Ethiopian jews believe in the book of Enoch? I'm asking you this because I'm doing some research. I know that the overwhelming majority of Jews reject that book. Is this also the case for you? (Ethiopian Jews)
Thank you so much for this! I'm blessed to live in a majority Ethiopian neighborhood, and they are the most beautiful, graceful, and friendly people I've ever met. Most definitely a wonderful addition to Israel!
Hmm if only you were as nice to the non jews like the Palestinians. Also this video whitewashes the racism no mention of the sterilisation of Ethiopians at all
Junder R If you want to refer to history, please check that battle of Adwa, where Ethiopians won the battle against Italy and chased them up to Eritrea in 1896. I didn’t say Ethiopia was not colonized. The Italians later comeback to make up for their defeat and colonized Ethiopian for 5 years, but even that was difficult time for them and they were forcefully removed from the country at the end.
Junder R true Ethiopia was colonised by the Italians who took down Haille Selassie and exiled his family ... Haille Selassie sold out his own people and tribe the habesha... habesha are not the majority in Ethiopia but a minority tribe... the Oromo are the true Ethiopian people ... there is always an issue when a minority people rule the majority tribes
I remember the group of rescued Ethiopian Jews my kibbutz helped to integrate. It was fascinating as this was the first time I came in contact with black people. As a child it was weird coming in contact with children looking so different and speaking another language, but somehow we got along just fine. It is still a precious memory. I was proud of my country that they were saved from hunger and war.
What’s so fascinating about it ? Is it because they’re black people. I come from the region and the same villages. There was nothing so fascinating from the rest of the inhabitants. They were member of Tewahdo church and Muslim. None of them practiced Judaism - all these conversion started during haileselasie and communist period when the starvation affected the region then they started to cross the border to Sudan en route to occupied territory. Moreover, there were few educated Ethiopian who were used as cadre by the Zionist state to recruit these desperate people as ቤተ ኢስራኤል to as slave and cheap labor:
@@robrobyadolisrobrobyadolis3563 I wonder where you get this information. You sure are deluded. We Ethiopians know the true history of the Bete Israel or the Falashas. We have history on them. I hope that lie you told dies with you before it infect anyone else.
Thank you for your take on Ethiopian Jews. It is a community dear to my heart even before I stayed in Ethiopian Jewish villages in 1972 that no long exist and remained friends with those I met after there long struggle to reach the Land of Israel. You do have one fact wrong. The term Falasha (stranger in Amharic) was the generally used Ethiopian term used to refer to Ethiopian Jews for the last millennia. Because it is a derogatory term, the Ethiopian Jews do not use it but call themselves Beta Yisrael (House of Israel) and Jews around the world have learned years ago to avoid that term and they simply refer to these people as Ethiopian Jews. The term Falasha has nothing to do with the Falash Mura who are people who converted to Christianity during the last several hundred years and now wish to be included among Ethiopian Jews allowed to immigrate to Israel. Some of them want to reconvert to Judaism and some wish to remain Christians. The Israeli government has begun allowing small numbers of them at a time to immigrate to Israel. Most live in squalid conditions in camps around around Adis Abeba, the capital of Ethiopia. The subject of bringing the Falash Mura to Israel is debated within the Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel. There are family ties to many of them countered by feelings of betrayal to people who struggled for so many centuries to maintain their unique Ethiopian Jewish culture and faith.
You are wrong I personally know Ethiopian Jews who are still in Ethiopia. They hide the fact that they are jewsew and live amongst other Ethiopians. They only tell their heritage to their children And the fun fact is they may merry in to other non jews Ethiopian but still maintain the their jews heritage. They have family registration culture where there are elders mainly prists to register new family members and They go all around Ethiopia to do it. That's why these days the neghboring gondar people also do the same.
@@temesgentsion7113 It is true that they call themselves Jews but it has a different definition from the term Jew in Israel and Ethiopian Jewry in the country. Ethiopians in Israel adopted Orthodox Judaism & its rabbinic laws
@@aliner1546 rather than Jews accepting the orthodox culture it's orthodox it self that built it's foundation in Ethiopian Jews culture. Think of most of Ethiopia as a Jew nation you can't expect them to not incorporate and give the Jew religion in Ethiopia an Ethiopian definition and cultural incorporation.
@@temesgentsion7113 : are you telling a fairytale here . Where in Ethiopia are these located at - please don’t tell me Gonder or Gogam ? Most of these were pagan to begin with then they began converting to Christianity and Islam. None of these people practiced Judaism. Btw, even your Elias name is misleading.
I heard they came during a long Famine in Egypt. In norther Somalia we have a clan that is clan called ibirr they iron worker, shoe maker and barbershop We the rest with the arabs roots we don’t And they very oppressed
@@hsyytt1816 why are you trying to make racism in a country that you probably don’t live in a big deal. I don’t think there’s a lot of racism against Ethiopians now. But people love making problems out of nothing. P.s. I don’t think it’s racism. More like colorism. They’re just as much Jewish as other Israelis
Shalom to you! The Ethiopian Jew and Beta - Isreal communities have overcome so much ♥ The story of their Aliyah to Isreal is epic story. The sheer chutzpah on Isreal's art is amazing too! The Red Sea Diving Resort was besed on the Mossad agents smuggling Ethiopian Jews out of Sudan!
@@gregking2571 maybe because "white" Jews (both Ashkenazi and Shephardi) are like 50% of the Israeli population. If you count Mizrahi Jews as "white", it's like 80%. What do you expect?
Shalom my friend, I admire you and enjoy your videos. In my case I am not Israeli neither Jewish, I am Hispanic American and I love Israel. Shalom and Am Yisrael Chai.

@יובל מוזס That's true. Although, a non-Jew who feels that connection has to go through a proper conversion according to Jewish Law. Or are you saying anyone can just decide to be a Jew whenever they feel like it?
ALL the info makes me think about the te. Lost tribes of Israel who was captured by the Assirians and info that I studied tells me many left Assirie and went wesrword to western Europe... I am white South African lady.. MY forefathers came to SA for sake of their Christian belief and farming abilities... JUST MAYBE... many of our forefathers from our Afrikaans, nation could be part of the ten lost tribes.. as nobody knows what happened to them. I have a inborn simpathy for the Jews.. and pray for them every night... Just maybe I'm a descendant of one of the tribes Does anybody have valuable information about the ten tribes, for me please. God bless

Too bad no one is talking about their history as both fierce protectors of the Semien kingdom and productive citizens of the Ethiopian empire. It's a shame that after all the persecution they met at the hands of the Christians for being Jews they are still not Jewish enough for this country.
Jewish ppl have to make sure no one fucks with them so they need evidence they’re in fact jewish anyone can say they are to be part of isreal. Y’all really not smart
@@chavy8442 hellooo...one things for sure the AskeNazis areNOT jewish they are russian..these are the real remnant..the real jews the real Israelistes and i cant wait for them to take power so we can have peace!!
@@chavy8442 Revelation 2:9, KJV: "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." ... They say they are Jews, but they are not, because their synagogue belongs to Satan."
It is a delicate situation in modern times. The idea of race, is a modern concept too. The main difference is the cultural one. The Jews from Ethiopia will identify themselves as being Ethiopians, or Abbysinians, they have been for far too long outside the main Jewish sphere. It will take years and years of integration into the Jewish culture and identity, but mainly, their understanding and capability of learning how to be an Israeli. This could go two ways: complete assimilation by the Israeli way of life, or segregation which means Ethiopians will remain the black jews from the Horn of Africa, an African enclave within the Israeli state, which would be a shame, yet it is feasible. The ethnicity has a strong say here, but I'm sure the democratic and resilient state of Israel will be able to integrate these people too, however through a long and not always smooth process. I do hope that the Ethiopian Jews, now proud citizens or residents of Israel will make an effort to understand the complexity and beauty of being a rightful and proud Israeli citizen. I would be forever grateful for the great effort that Israel and the people of Israel have produced. Pls people, don't take it for granted, wherever you've come from!!!
The most prominent Eithopian Jewish woman I know is at the Ministry of Scientific Cultural Affairs at the embassy in Beijing her name is Bosmat Baruch and I think she is one of the most beautiful people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is a star among the Jewish people, or should be. Every time I see her in the news, I smile because she brought me friendship, humor, warmth, and happiness. I'll never forget her and in Israel, she should be a star.

Falasha means cut off broken off. Stranger is not quite right. They were called broken off because they did not convert from judaism to christianity like the rest of Ethiopia. Ethiopia use to be a Jewish country overall hence lalibela the new israel.
Not all of Ethiopia was jewish before christianity. I think you are thinking of axumites who followed a pagan religion before christianity came. There were very few jewish people in axum. Most Ethiopian Jewish people today are converts that migrated from current day sudan and central africa based on DNA testing. Most of the descendants of the jewish migrants are actually orthodox Christians now and belong to the three of the relatively new semetic group in Ethiopia.
@@axumitedessalegn3549 you are wrong Ther was relatively larg groups of jews in aksum the reson for that is becuse they influnce the language and religion of pre-chritianty aksum until today. Dna evidence of several peopole can't prove ethnic origin of hundred tousands of peopoles
Thanks for the well-made video! I was curious because I recently heard about the tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia about the Hydro dam project and Israel was mentioned, so I wanted to learn more. Great explanation, with humor and good production. The three of your have great screen chemistry together.
As an Israeli Jew And I have to add though I’m not an Ethiopian I grow up with them and they are the most loving people and no doubt in my mind they are Jews! Also they are great contribution to Israeli society in many levels ❤️

Love you Chloe. Ethiopian Jews are called Israeli Jews of Ethiopian decent, unlike here in the USA where the media divides everyone as hyphenated Americans. All Israel is one Big family regardless of skin color etc.
I am Jewish, and I remember those airlifts. Never felt prouder to be Jewish in my life. Also never felt more scared for total strangers in my life! We all have to help others. The abandoned puppy at the supermarket to the human being. We all just HAVE to help.
As you mentioned being disconnected during the changes of practice in Judaism, there are 2 large Jewish tribes in Africa, astonishingly their practices are identical to the 2nd temple (bait sheni) era.
Thank you for sharing this story! I pray that Beta Israel's culture stays alive, as their practice of a non-rabbinical Judaism that predates the 2nd Temple is extremely special.
In the 1980s and 1990s, I was active in American and Canadians in Israel. One day, the phone rang. A high ranking officer in the army identified himself and told me to get over to a hotel in the town I was living in at once. I knew something was up and was kind of afraid to go, but I did. When I got to the hotel, heavy military security checked me. I was allowed in. When I entered the lobby, I could not believe what I saw. There were tall, skinny Black people wearing gauze garments with Stars of David embroidered on them. I said Shalom to them. The all answered in unison. And so the process of absorbing these new, amazing arrivals in Israel began.
I wanted so much to learn about Judaism from the time of the First Temple from them, but the rabbinical authorities stepped in immediately and humiliated them and forced them to convert to their Babylonian heresies. Our PM, who was trained by American "intelligence", hastened to institute a program of divide and conquer along with his fear mongering because that is the only way the governments know how to maintain control. The press began to report incidents of discrimination that likely never occurred. Israelis were delighted and fascinated by the Ethiopian Jews who arrived here. By reporting about discrimination, the press planted the evil seeds of discrimination. Many fell for the ploy. But many realized it was the press trying to engineer our opinions and didn't fall for the evil ruse. Israelis love the Ethiopian Jews. The gov't has their own designs that don't reflect the will of the Jewish People.
Being Jewish is a Religious Identity before anything else. Unlike ethnic identity or any other religious identity for that matter, Jewish identity can change voluntarily anywhere along your life's journey. Let this explanation be received with Light.
This topic of "Jewry" is correct in that this is a collection of information but be mindful of the differences in Judaism, and Jewish. There is a distinct and different history for both, great information overall...
All but 4,000 or so Ethiopian Jews live in Israel. Israel spent a great deal of effort to bring them there. Approximately 130,000 Ethiopian Jews now live in Israel.
Thank you for this very nice, easy to follow, and succinct presentation about the Ethiopian Jews. There are other groups in Africa with ties to Jewish tradition and identity. Maybe an episode on some of them?
My family was forced to changed to Christianity and recently I found out I was an Ethiopian Jew, I am so happy!

I’m so proud that they have found a home in Israel. Our people are beautifully diverse!
Because, back in Ethiopia they always consider Israel, specifically Jerusalem as their sole home country. When there is news about Israel being under attack, all of them including my classmates get prepared to go on foot and defend Israel. In deep rural mountainous Ethiopia, all of them do have David's star sign on the tip of their rural houses and also have israel's flag on animals skin. Now almost all are in Israel. All of these Bete Israelitis used to live deep inside mountains of Ethiopia.

I encourage you to look at Ethiopian history. The first African country that won a war against the Europeans.
Junder R If you want to refer to history, please check that battle of Adwa, where Ethiopians won the battle against Italy and chased them up to Eritrea in 1896. I didn’t say Ethiopia was not colonized. The Italians later comeback to make up for their defeat and colonized Ethiopian for 5 years, but even that was difficult time for them and they were forcefully removed from the country at the end.
Junder R true Ethiopia was colonised by the Italians who took down Haille Selassie and exiled his family ... Haille Selassie sold out his own people and tribe the habesha... habesha are not the majority in Ethiopia but a minority tribe... the Oromo are the true Ethiopian people ... there is always an issue when a minority people rule the majority tribes
Junder R it is not stop saying babyish things .
@Junder R why tell nonesense! how do you colonise yourself? is there a difference between the two.?
What about Hannibal , he was from Carthage ( Tunisia) and defeated the Romans 216 BC
I remember the group of rescued Ethiopian Jews my kibbutz helped to integrate. It was fascinating as this was the first time I came in contact with black people. As a child it was weird coming in contact with children looking so different and speaking another language, but somehow we got along just fine. It is still a precious memory. I was proud of my country that they were saved from hunger and war.
I love this whole series on Israel. Incredibly fascinating.
What’s so fascinating about it ? Is it because they’re black people. I come from the region and the same villages. There was nothing so fascinating from the rest of the inhabitants. They were member of Tewahdo church and Muslim. None of them practiced Judaism - all these conversion started during haileselasie and communist period when the starvation affected the region then they started to cross the border to Sudan en route to occupied territory. Moreover, there were few educated Ethiopian who were used as cadre by the Zionist state to recruit these desperate people as ቤተ ኢስራኤል to as slave and cheap labor:

@Kawhoot @111P

Shame on you.
Thank you for your take on Ethiopian Jews. It is a community dear to my heart even before I stayed in Ethiopian Jewish villages in 1972 that no long exist and remained friends with those I met after there long struggle to reach the Land of Israel. You do have one fact wrong. The term Falasha (stranger in Amharic) was the generally used Ethiopian term used to refer to Ethiopian Jews for the last millennia. Because it is a derogatory term, the Ethiopian Jews do not use it but call themselves Beta Yisrael (House of Israel) and Jews around the world have learned years ago to avoid that term and they simply refer to these people as Ethiopian Jews. The term Falasha has nothing to do with the Falash Mura who are people who converted to Christianity during the last several hundred years and now wish to be included among Ethiopian Jews allowed to immigrate to Israel. Some of them want to reconvert to Judaism and some wish to remain Christians. The Israeli government has begun allowing small numbers of them at a time to immigrate to Israel. Most live in squalid conditions in camps around around Adis Abeba, the capital of Ethiopia. The subject of bringing the Falash Mura to Israel is debated within the Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel. There are family ties to many of them countered by feelings of betrayal to people who struggled for so many centuries to maintain their unique Ethiopian Jewish culture and faith.
You are wrong I personally know Ethiopian Jews who are still in Ethiopia. They hide the fact that they are jewsew and live amongst other Ethiopians. They only tell their heritage to their children And the fun fact is they may merry in to other non jews Ethiopian but still maintain the their jews heritage. They have family registration culture where there are elders mainly prists to register new family members and They go all around Ethiopia to do it. That's why these days the neghboring gondar people also do the same.
@@temesgentsion7113
It is true that they call themselves Jews but it has a different definition from the term Jew in Israel and Ethiopian Jewry in the country. Ethiopians in Israel adopted Orthodox Judaism & its rabbinic laws

It is a delicate situation in modern times. The idea of race, is a modern concept too. The main difference is the cultural one. The Jews from Ethiopia will identify themselves as being Ethiopians, or Abbysinians, they have been for far too long outside the main Jewish sphere.
It will take years and years of integration into the Jewish culture and identity, but mainly, their understanding and capability of learning how to be an Israeli.
This could go two ways: complete assimilation by the Israeli way of life, or segregation which means Ethiopians will remain the black jews from the Horn of Africa, an African enclave within the Israeli state, which would be a shame, yet it is feasible.
The ethnicity has a strong say here, but I'm sure the democratic and resilient state of Israel will be able to integrate these people too, however through a long and not always smooth process.
I do hope that the Ethiopian Jews, now proud citizens or residents of Israel will make an effort to understand the complexity and beauty of being a rightful and proud Israeli citizen. I would be forever grateful for the great effort that Israel and the people of Israel have produced. Pls people, don't take it for granted, wherever you've come from!!!

And we black
In the 1980s and 1990s, I was active in American and Canadians in Israel. One day, the phone rang. A high ranking officer in the army identified himself and told me to get over to a hotel in the town I was living in at once. I knew something was up and was kind of afraid to go, but I did.
When I got to the hotel, heavy military security checked me. I was allowed in.
When I entered the lobby, I could not believe what I saw. There were tall, skinny Black people wearing gauze garments with Stars of David embroidered on them.
I said Shalom to them. The all answered in unison.
And so the process of absorbing these new, amazing arrivals in Israel began.
I wanted so much to learn about Judaism from the time of the First Temple from them, but the rabbinical authorities stepped in immediately and humiliated them and forced them to convert to their Babylonian heresies.
Our PM, who was trained by American "intelligence", hastened to institute a program of divide and conquer along with his fear mongering because that is the only way the governments know how to maintain control. The press began to report incidents of discrimination that likely never occurred. Israelis were delighted and fascinated by the Ethiopian Jews who arrived here. By reporting about discrimination, the press planted the evil seeds of discrimination. Many fell for the ploy. But many realized it was the press trying to engineer our opinions and didn't fall for the evil ruse.

This topic of "Jewry" is correct in that this is a collection of information but be mindful of the differences in Judaism, and Jewish. There is a distinct and different history for both, great information overall...
What is your point? Is it to cause unrest, division, racism? Are you well informed enough to explain the differences between Judaism and being Jewish?
The European jews do not want Ethiopians to outnumber them and they have been doing a lot of depopulating.
All but 4,000 or so Ethiopian Jews live in Israel. Israel spent a great deal of effort to bring them there. Approximately 130,000 Ethiopian Jews now live in Israel.
You're actually making a false statement. Quite false. What is your goal in doing this??
@@Hi-xu9xn Are they in Israel or in Ethiopia?
@@Hi-xu9xn there aren't even 70 million Christians in Ethiopia.
@@Hi-xu9xn Ethiopian people do not have significant amounts of Jewish DNA. Even Ethiopian Jews have almost none.
Excellent presentation. Keep it up!
I’m Ashkenazi and I loved this! In the US there isn’t a lot of info about this. So thanks for putting it out there
Thank you for this very nice, easy to follow, and succinct presentation about the Ethiopian Jews. There are other groups in Africa with ties to Jewish tradition and identity. Maybe an episode on some of them?
Great idea for future videos, thank you!
Im Sephardic through my father line but through Gedmatch. I have a match for Ethiopian Jew
Great video, great info. Thanks!
