Your emotions are out of place. They are a breakaway branch of Ethiopian Christianity that split off 600-700 years ago. Their beliefs are a mix between Ethiopian Christianity, African animism and the Ethiopian 'Old Testament'. They have not been around for that long. They have zero Israelite ancestry. Why your imagination would create such unfounded nonsense is beyond me, but I suggest you read up on the history.

[@jaymylotto8134]

@Moish Perl This is absolutely not true. Historical research and genetic evidence are in agreement that they are a breakaway branch of Ethiopian Christianity that split off about 600-700 years ago. They formed a makeshift Judaism based on the Ethiopian "Old Testament". They have zero Israelite ancestry. Thers is an academic consensus on this topic.

@@lauras2519 But Jews are an ethnic group and genetic research can help to prove or disprove historical theories. For example, Ashkenazi Jews have an estimated 50% genetic link to the Near East. Ethiopian "Jews" have zero percent connection to the ancient Near East. This proves their claims to be descendants of Jews to be false. They are a cult of Judaizing former Christians, not Jews.

[@jaymylotto8134]

@@lauras2519 That's not entirely accurate. R. Ovadya Yosef declared them to be "Zera Yisrael", IE not Jews but "descendants of Jews". People classified as "Zera Yisrael" get preferential treatment if they wish to convert to Judaism and they were brought to Israel on that basis. However, genetic research has proven him wrong. They are not "Zera Yisrael" and the vast majority refused to convert in any case. Ovadya Yosef himself approved genetic testing for the purpose of establishing paternity, btw.

All you need to do is tell them that their "NT", is NOT scripture that was given to mankind by God, and nowhere do the Hebrew scriptures say that it is! The Hebrew scriptures say NOTHING about anyone called "Jesus" or that anyone needs to "die on a cross for our sins" - this is just NOT what God actually said to us! In fact, the ONLY scriptures God ever gave to mankind are the Hebrew scriptures (Tanach) that He gave to Moses at Mt. Sinai. He specifically told us that those scriptures are ETERNAL (i.e. STILL in effect and binding TODAY - a LIVING document!) and that we are NOT to follow ANY other teaching that what is in those Hebrew scriptures. Christianity IS another teaching, that preaches AGAINST what God said to us at Mt. Sinai, therefore we are NOT to follow what it teaches - God's orders!! God never told us that we need any sort of 'intermediary' between Him and us, and that He wants us to approach Him DIRECTLY - not 'through' some MAN!! It would be VERY beneficial to you to purchase, (if you haven't already) Rabbi Singer's 2-vol. set of books entitled "Let's Get Biblical - Why Doesn't Judaism Believe in the Christian Messiah?". These books are encyclopedic on this subject and will provide you with a TON of information to help you counter anything a Christian may throw at you to get you to convert! I have both books and I REALLY recommend them, and also, if you don't already own one, purchase yourself a Hebrew Bible (says "TANACH" on the cover) so you can see for yourself what God actually said to us at Mt. Sinai. I wish you all the best and may Hashem guide you in dealing with these people who would preach falsehoods to you that God NEVER said to us!

To Rav Tovia: PLEACE consider to organize together with Rabbis of the Beta Yisrael a kind of a show which is in Hebrew and even in amharic (you'll obviosly need a translator). ...Maybe you dont even have to play the main part as an interviewer, BUT you are so experienced in that field, you could be on the advisory board. That would substantially help such an endeavor against the massive assault by missionaries from all spectrums on the Beta Yisrael.

I don't understand the level of fear here, or maybe am missing something here, as a devout Muslim this is perfect opportunity to strongly convey our message to anyone seeking to convert people the best ways possible. I don't think religious. will welcome him.

[@ajarnwordsmith628]

Permit me to state that you are indeed missing something here! That something is the divergent attitude to conversion among the Abrahamic faiths. Our Christian and Muslim cousins are proactive in proselytizing their respective faiths among the non-believers whereas the Jews are not.

The concept of race in America is not always how it’s understood worldwide. If it was, then the Ethiopian Jews may well have converted millennia ago, but alas they didn’t because the intrinsic conceptualization of race is different.

If skin colour is not an issue why are African Jews in Israel being racially discriminated against?

[@npickard4218]

The answer is that they are not being discriminated against. I've seen those reports too and I researched them and found them to be fake news. The sources that claim discrimination tend to be political actors who have an agenda. If you go to Israel and talk to them, they are very happy to live in Israel and many of them are now marrying non-Ethiopian Jews and fully mixing into the population.

[@KelikakuCoutin]

There are many branches among the Children of Israel. Some are Ethiopian Jews, others are Spanish Jews, others are Ashkenazi Jews, Iranian Jews, Greek Jews, and so on. It's self-evident. They are called Ethiopian Jews, by wit of their heritage and their origination point. I hope this, in some small way, clears things up for you. Yes, they are Jews, and we are all Jews. We're Jews first. Even the Torah, even Maimonides, and even Jewish tradition, freely associates us with our community. Going back to the time of Queen Esther, the Jews of Shushan, were known as the Jews of Shushan. There's no issue here. Please do not create issues where none previously existed!

I too, found the captions very difficult to read. The white captions against the white clothes (white shirts) is not conducive to legibility. What I found, that might help, is to click the little "gear" icon on the lower right corner of the video window. There's a setting that can sharpen the resolution. When I adjusted the resolution to a higher setting, the captions were a little easier to read. However the captions should not be white against white, and you've hit on an excellent point. The captions ARE difficult to see, and the settings do not affect their size, nor their legibility. All we can do is squint and try to change the video window to a higher resolution.

שלום עליכם السلام عليكم When Quran said that : لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ Translate : You have your way, and I have my Way. My view is : So if you are jews, then do your jews way (halakhah for jews). If you are christian, then do your christian way. If you are muslim, then do your islam way (syariah law for muslim). We as a religious people should respect other religions no matter what religions they believed. But we should not "convert" or "impose" our religion to other religions, because it is their belived faith. It is cruelest if someone impose or convert their religion to our religion and said that their religion is right one than our religion that we have believed already. Hopefully people faith will make tolerance of humanity in our beloved earth. May God bless us. Thank you.
