Jewish men married European women a thousand years ago to create the Ashkenazi and Sephardi a long time ago. No one complains. But when Jewish men married with Ethiopians, and Ethiopian Jews were created, people question the validity of their Jewish identity? Like, cmon now.
You must be real dumb to think that this happened a thousand years ago. It's been happening since the birth of humans. Judaism is NOT a race, it's a religion.
+cadr003 That is not really true. Genetic studies have shown that ashkenazi jews belong to one ethnicity regardless where they came from, meaning that they mainly married each other, and did not really mix
Kerem KORUR I am hungarian and we have a big jewish community, and I saw a lot of interviews with a hungarian genetics expert, who talked a lot about how was it possible that the jews did not suffer any major genetic defects despite they married almost sorely to other jews for centuries, meanwhile the gypsies did the same, but the oppossite results occoured.
I am far from an expert but in Ethiopia in some cases the Jewish religion is mixed up with other religions . They were persecuted and adopted other religions in part. Christians tried converting some. Over the hundreds of years you can imagine the dilution. In some cases there are no Rabbis . Thats why there were questions. I also think in some cases not all There DNA matches other Jews. Just on a side note I don't think there is an example of a country accepting as large of a minority as Israel.
ethiopian jews had different culture and religion rules than the western jews. ethiopian used to believe that the "beit ha mikdash" the holiest place for jews is still exist (which is not), therefore they were following religious rules that used to be part of when beit ha mikdash was part of the religion. as well as many rules that been add like marry to only one woman and so on. the rabbies had some hard time dealing with those issues and very minority was thinking that ethiopian are not jews anymore and need to convert their way of praying etc

I'm a Christian Ethiopian and I must say that I find it funny that some Israelis have this doubt about Ethiopian Jews. So it's fine to be blond, blue-eyed Jew but somehow, being dark-skin doesn't fit the Jewish profile.. as if Moses and co looked like Britney Spears back in the days LOL. Parts of central and northern Ethiopia speak languages with Semitic roots (Amharic, Tingrinya, Guraginga etc) and they have a long cultural and religious connection with the "holy land". Ethiopian Jews are in fact just Ethiopians from Amhara region, who believed in God when Europeans and others had their "ancient Gods" and never converted to Christianity when the majority did so. Are there scammers that lied to have a chance to flee to Israel (people always try to go where the grass is greener right), absolutely, but to deny an entire group of people with a long history is just ridiculous. Personally, I'm saddened by the fact that Ethiopian Jews left for Israel. They are a crucial part of our long history and it would be nice if they still were part of our multicultural society. But I also understand why they did so, because my parents fled to Sweden during that same time. Ethiopia was under a brutal communist regime, not leaving when if you were given a chance would be a foolish thing to do. Anyways, love and respect to all.
I totally totally agree with you! Honestly, I question the Ashkenazim since most of them believe in conversion. I don't know of any Ethiopian Jew, Sephardim, or Mizrahi Jew that believe in this conversion mess. Modern Judaism is pure European roots. So question the German Jew not the Ethiopian Jew!
The problem was *only* with the *phalashmura* tribe. Not all the others. In the end, after *research* , they all considered as *jews*. It's nothing about color.
Though I haven't met any Ethiopian jews mostly because I grew up in a predominantly Muslim parts of the country(somali region) but there is a city called Welleqa and its residents are predominantly jews. They call them selfs the 12 tribes of juda so they are very much as Jewish as anybody else.
sssssss6361 I don't know much about Judaism at all, so I don't know if it is against Jewish religion to be a homosexual. Therefore can one really say they are a true believer and follower of Judaism when they practice homosexuality.
It's literally the opposite of what happened. Rabbi Ovadia Yoseph which is Mizrachy said they should be considered Jews and his opinion was accepted not only throughout the vast majority of the political parties but also through the vast majority of the people in Israel
I love the opening question and how it was asked as if the original Jews had blonde hair and blue eyes…

Why not? Mediterranean people are often blonde, there are plenty of blonde Greeks and Italians and even Berbers. Same neighborhood. There are no black people living on the coast of Mediterranean.
@ just because they live there now doesn’t mean they are the original people of the region. There’s plenty of black people and white people living in the Americas but we all know they didn’t originate there.
Mwafrika Mkenya what historical cite, objects, books, archeological evidence or anything do you have in Sudan that backs up your claim? For example from things mentioned in the bible like the ark of the covenant which currently exists in Ethiopia , Nile river, Queen Makeda(Sheba) and so many things and if you ask for archeological evidences like the rock-hewn churches that are built thousands years ago and where people still practice their religion(Orthodox Christian) in them using the ancient language which is Ge’ez... who speaks Ge’ez in Sudan?lol...thousands of books, figures and scripts...i mean the book of enoch which is one of the oldest book was written in Ge’ez(ETHIOPIAN)
Ethiopian though here does not refer to the people of Modern Ethiopia but a generic African. We don't really know who Moses married other than she was black.
Moses was black himself. How is it hard to understand that he was of a certain tribe ethnically and married an African woman from again another tribe who was not Hebrew. Moses sister protested not that she was BLACK but that she was of another tribe other then the chosen people. Is it so hard to believe that a black man from one tribe might be attracted to a woman of another tribe????

If you ever looked at Ethiopian writing.. It looks just like Hebrew writing and the Ethiopian language has many spoken words that are similar to Hebrew... So it's given that Ethiopia has a strong Jewish lineage !
that comment tells me u have no idea how old Ethiopia is.. Let's put it this way..Egypt is 6,000yrs old. 3,000 yrs older than Greek.. *AND ETHIOPIA is found in Egypt's early texts AND Ethiopia is also mentioned in the Bible 41 times!*
John Doe what does that have to do with anything? Bring from s Christian environment doesn't make you a Christian. I'm African culturally, raised in American Christianity. Does that make me a Christian? No.
That's because Geez (Ethiopian Jewish language), Amharic (Ethiopian national language) and Tigrinya are all Semetic languages. The argument against Ethiopian Jews is that their traditions predate a lot of modern Jewish tenets, and as such, are not "kosher".
Kevin does: The Ethiopian alphabet or writing is remotely close to Hebrew. It is true some of the Amharic words are Arabic but for the most part is Kushetic or Nubian .
Skin adapts vary quickly. Interbreeding is also vary common everywhere, just because they have dark skin, does not mean they not no descended from Semitic peoples.
Greentea Yum as already stated, that theory is kind of shaky. But, in any event, why would that matter, if at all? They are jews now, so I don't see the big deal. How funny, christian liturgy, wonder if it's the same that exacerbated antisemitism to the point of an holocaust.
Ariel Correa Need more proof that white people can't be true Hebrews? scripture tells us that the Hebrews had black hair and that if even one hair turns yellow & thin, that it is the sign of a bad thing. So if the Hebrews had yellow hair, how in the world could the high priest examine their head for yellow hairs to see if they're sick? If the Hebrews woke up with yellow hair, they would have freaked out because they would have thought that they had some kind of illness. Scripture says that if a Hebrew was found with just "one thin yellow hair" it was bad but if the hair was black, then they are 'clean'. So if one thin yellow hair is bad, you can certainly believe that they didn't have a full head of yellow thin hair. see Leviticus 13:30. Yellow (blonde) thin haired (white)people are not Hebrews. Also, everyone knows that the Hebrews originate from a tropical area. White skinned people don't come from hot regions. Moses and the rest of the Hebrews certainly didn't need sunblock all those years walking around in the desert. They had melanin in their skin to protect them. A natural sunblock that causes the skin to be brown. My Messiah also don't need sunblock to protect his skin. Israel now has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world because the white people that moved there are converts, who don't originate from the land. A true indigenous people would not have this problem in their own native land. Do alligators have a drowning problem in the swamp? Does polar bears have a cold problem in the artic? Do camels have a problem living in the desert? All of these animals do just fine in their natural habitat. And if you are true natives to that land, you should have no problem going outside without getting skin burns and skin cancer, and you shouldn't have to need a bottle of sunblock just to enjoy the outdoors but even that isn't enough to slow down the sky high skin cancer rate in Israel.The bible says that Moses and paul were mistaken for Egyptians. What did the ancient Egyptians look like before Arabs conquered the land? They're black. Google it. Also, the book of Daniel (kjv) clearly states that the Messiah had hair like pure wool and mentions nothing about hair color. Just "pure wool"(Daniel 7:9). What does wooly haired people look like?
Greentea Yum sigh, I will repeat what I said: why would it matter? They're jews now. And hebrews were olive-skinned. That makes more sense. Furthermore, the theory is that ashkenazi and such have zero connection to semitic people which I find implausible
The Ashkenzai people are probably connected to other semitic people. Don't forget that Esau and Ishmael was also semitic, children of Abraham. And we know that Esau (Edom) converted to Judaism and started falsely declaring that they were Jews in 110 BC, so I don't question if some of them have some semitic blood in them considering those facts, but they aren't Jacob's (Israel's) children. The very fact that they're over there in the Holy land is because they're riding the wave, claiming that they are "the chosen people of Jacob". So don't say it doesn't really matter if they're converts after all. They got a whole country by claiming that they're the DNA of a family that they don't even belong to. Isaiah 44:4- Others will say, 'I am a descendant of Jacob.' Some will write the LORD's name on their hands and will TAKE the name of Israel as their own"
Although I am a Somali Muslim, this video has made me very concerned for the well-being of my Ethiopian brothers and sisters in Israel. For a European Ashkenazi to question the legitimacy of the Ethiopian’s Jewish heritage is nothing but ironic and also puzzling. I hope things get better for my Habesha brothers and sisters, in Israel and the Horn of Africa. 💕🇸🇴🇪🇹🇪🇷
You have nothing to worry about Ethiopians in Israel! They are doing much better in Israel than in Ethiopia, that's for sure... Thanks for your concern though!
Who exactly questioned it? all the Ashkenazi said they are Jews without a doubt.... also all the Mizrachy people except one... what the hell are you even talking about...
@@awaf12 ......To be honest, Eritrean Somalian Ethiopians & Sudanese are brothers & sisters. Religion doesn't divide us, but only western government.

So Jews originated in an African country having all its traditions and cultures derived from dark skinned African and Iranian (Babylonian) cultures. And now, blonde and blue eyed Jews are asking if Ethiopians are genetically linked to Jews. Should not this question be asked to blonde or white Jews? Compare the Jews with the Samaritans and Palestinians there
It's been done. With regards to the Palestinians, on study showed that they are the blood brothers of Jews, Syrians and Lebanese while another showed kinship with Arabians - so I'll assume it's somewhere inbetween. Studies have shown a clear connection between Jews and Samaritans - we are almost identical (at least paternally anyway). Interestingly, if you search 'nMonte' on Google, the first website that comes up (should be Eupedia) shows the genetic results of Ashkenazi Jews when using reference populations such as Samaritans and Israeli Arabs. Ashkenazi sample scored 33% Samaritan, 15% Israeli Arab, 30% Tuscan..
@@sunnyedaize1262 I am being sarcastic. There are only Jews who say they are Jews but they are not. Jews were once Gods chosen people but when they rejected Christ they lost that blessing. Jews were scattered and their true history lost when The Roman's destroyed Jerusalem and with it the fulfillment of Gods warnings.
There is no doubt in my mind that I (an Ashkenazi Jew) and the Ethiopian Jews have the same ancestors. DNA tests have linked Ashkenazim, Mizrahim, and Sephardim to other groups in Africa like the Lemba as well. The Diaspora scattered us across the globe, and we were forced to assimilate wherever we landed, which is why we are so racially diverse, but regardless, we are all part of the Jewish people.
Then you are the only people in the entire world who are "so racially diverse", but are nonetheless a single "ethnic group". You can't tell Ethiopian Jews apart from other Ethiopians in the area of their origin, just like you can't tell the "newly-discovered Lemba African Jews" apart from other non-Lemba Africans in their area of origin. Yet, we are supposed to believe that all Jews are "genetically closer to other Jews elsewhere in the world, than they are to the peoples and tribes from whom they can't be told apart.
Am Ethiopian- Christian and it's a lil surprising for me to see some people doubt - even ask a question. I mean, frankly if you come to Ethiopia, it's the ordinary old old old oriental Christians that speak of the felashas as original Jews. Even we, Ethiopian Christians believe that we are Christian converts from Jew in 3rd 4th centuries. Legend has it that there've been Ethiopian Jews since the time of King Solomon in Israel. And even as Christians roughly since 333AD, Ethiopian kings also claimed Solomonic generic root up until the last Emperor of the Solomonic dynasty - Haileselassie I was deposed in 1974. That's 3000 years on the nick.
+Troll God am telling you that these people are originally from the 12 tribes of Israel. This makes them of the house of Israel, at least. I mean only if Jew is from Juda, then it's possible that some of them may be.
+Addis Bonger interesting to hear the view of a christian Ethiopian on the matter, thanks . anyway some doubt, because many people, not just from Ethiopia want to immigrate to Israel and they pretend to be jews, it definitely happened with the 2nd wave of immigration from Russia to Israel and some think it might have happened with the 2nd wave of immigration from Ethiopia.

I'm not Jewish, but i think if the argument is based on looks and color, then i think Ashkenazi Jews as well as European/ Russian Jews are the least people to be considered as Jews. In fact many dispute that European Jews are actually real Jews by blood and genes; in fact some see these white blonde Europeans as only mere converts to Judaism. The real Jews are those who come from the middle east and morocco like Jews from Yemen, Iran, Iraq etc, these folks did not mix with non Jews at all.
Well the funny thing is Jews who grew up in Morocco who are sephardi like half my family are very genetically similar to Ashkenazi jews who were deported to eastern europe... so your argument is nonsense.

I love all these obscenely racist comments by "anti-Zionists." Of course Ethiopian Jews are Jews just like Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrakhi, Yemenite, and other smaller groups are Jewish. All modern Jews are genetically mixed with people (whether European, East African, Arabian, Persian, Mesopotamian, Berber, etc) so the idea that appearance alone could determine whether someone is a Jew (as in descended from ancient Jews) is absurd and racist. I also like how people seem to think that because some Ashkenazi Jews have "white" skin means that all are blonde with blue eyes, and thus no different from Europeans. There have been COUNTLESS genetic studies by ACTUAL scientists showing that Ashkenazi (who are almost identical to Sephardim) are descended from Judean men who married European (mostly southern European) women 1000-2000 years ago. Even the most pathetic attempts to "prove" the Khazar theory have concluded that Ashkenazim are a "mosaic of Near Eastern, European, Caucasus people." This also of course ignores the fact that many Ashkenazim are indistinguishable from your typical non-Arabian indigenous Levantine groups, and that many Mizrakhi and Sephardi Jews are "white" as are many Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians. You racists are so pathetic you just make things up and repeat lies that are easily refutable. You have zero integrity and should be ashamed of yourselves. If you believe in any sort of divine judgment, be sure that you will be judged for you blatant lies and incitement of hate.
Wow great argument! The only "bs, propaganda and ignorance" in my comment is based on actual science and history. Meanwhile, "anti-Zionist" rhetoric is literally just made up and regurgitated by intellectually-inept, uneducated, hateful bigots who always blame everyone else for their fuck ups.

@@trebol9947 Ashkenai derives from the villages along the Silk Road in Turkey by the name of Eshkena Ishkena and Ashena.

Ashkenazi use the Babylonian Talmud which was written near that area. Language, Talmud source, genetics and village names all confirm where Ashkenazi really came from.

1. Are you talking about Ethiopian Jews? Because they don’t see themselves as part of the Ethiopian nation but as part of the nation of Israel 2. Have you listened to what they said in the video because they overwhelmingly agreed that Ethiopian Jews are Jews and even said it as if it obvious, because it is obvious. I know many Ethiopian Jews here in Israel and trust me they’re very accepted.
@Saif Center No mate, we are a native people from Judea with our own genetic make up for the most park. Ashkenazim are not "European". They were deported there rather. Yes, some converted from the native population but the majority of jews: Ashkenazim, Sepharad, Mizrachim, etc. are descendants of the ancient Israelites and the Judeans. As are the tribe of Dan like Beta Israelis etc. Hence Ashkenazi and Sephardic jews are more similar to each other than they are to their local non-jewish neighbours, something that should be impossible given how long they been separated.
This is so interesting to me tbh. My family fled Portugal to then Dutch Brazil, then fled to Barbados, and now we’re in America, and the majority of us are mixed from all over the place. All of us in my family have different religions, different apparent races, we are still descended from our Sephardi ancestors and my grandmother and mother still made sure to make sure she had fish in a crock pot on Friday to eat on Saturday. I think the issue isn’t so much who’s a real Jew and who isn’t, it’s who looks and acts like the traditionally accepted narrative.
I am a Russian Israeli and it's good to feel kinship with you. It's almost like being invited to your Shabbat, fish and all. Or inviting you to ours. Would be nice.
Wow, finally the guy from the first interview mentioned my country Malaysia! That's so touching. Also because they're very opened and welcoming! He's right, if Muslims and Christians can come in different shades and colours, why not Jews.
Because being Jewish is arguably tied to an ethnicity where Islam and Christendom are not. Ethiopian Jews have Israelite DNA and upheld Jewish traditions that is why they are considered Jews within the Jewish community.
Yes. My mother is a genealogist so I have to hear about different genetic groups all of the time. Ethiopians generally are a mixture of different genetic groups, hebrew, black, and arab. So YES they absolutely do have genetic ties to all of the rest of us. There's your educated response. :)
This is beautiful. Of course most of the people you asked were tan Jews. It would have been interesting to hear what the lighter skinned Jews would say. I think it is incredibly stupid that some Ashkenazi Jews feel superiority because of skin color when they know it is because they married with Europeans. That is like Europeans having babies with native Americans until they are all blonde and blue eyed and raising them in the tribe and then turning around and saying that the dark skinned natives are not as native. At that point they are no longer genetically native Americans anymore no matter if their kids were raised in the legal tribe. Totally stupid and backwards. As a Sephardi Jew I have not wanted to go there because I hate racism and their has been a racist portrayal shown but this has made me think that maybe I do want to visit. Thank you.
Sorry, but what the heck?? Has an Ashkenazi Jew ever told you they are superior, or are you just making this stuff up? I am a Russian Israeli and I used to live in Beer Sheva and I dread the Moroccan Jews to this day, because of how they treated us back then. They treated us like dogs. "Stinky Russians, go back to Russia, no one wanted you here, you are all thieves and prostitutes". I know three people who killed themselves in their first year in Israel because of the harassment by Moroccans. Also, it was mostly rape, not marriage. Your ancestors were raped by Arabs, ours, by Europeans. Which is why you are darker skinned than our shared ancestors, and we are lighter skinned. Nothing to be proud of in either case. Anyway, how can you make this stuff up under this video, which has pretty much proven you wrong?
The tan jews are getting their ideology from the European jews. In Europe there’s this unspoken arrogance whether spoken or not, since colonialism, that the lighter the shade the better the person.
Sexual violence around the time of the Roman expulsion of the Jews is probably where most of their European dna comes from. Not from marriage thouyif course that happened too.
A lot of Israelis have tannned skin with Middle Eastern roots, the stereotype of white Jews in Israel is not as common as you think. That’s morris to be found in orthodox communities which the presenter did ask one of.
This will surprise the doubters. I am an Eritrean, from the Orthodox Christian. During a once a year annual celebration in every village, town or churches in cities the priests would extract the Tabot (the tablet that contain the 10 commandments that God gave to Moses) from Beit Meqdess (ቤት መቕደስ) fully covered is carried by a decon in the front, the procession walk around the church continues by the priests followed by the believers. This is done to remind the believers that they are ruled by God’s laws. I believe that ancient Judaic tradition is still practiced by the Christians. You want more surprise you should look into the linguistics Geeze, Tigrinya Tigre languages. Don’t forget humans have feet and a long time to walk the small world.
I have worked with ethiopians in israel for some years and have even learnt their language a bit. I am not a historian but from what i heard, one of King Solomon's wives was Bat Sheva, which was an Ethiopian queen. Besides,if u ask the ethiopian jews from the countryside of Ethiopia, they will tell you that their ancestors have learnt and taught the Torah ORALLY for generations... definately that means something. There are even cases of rolls of the Megilat Esther being found in China by archeologists and according to some remainings,there were tribes in Asia which would keep Shabbat and some more Jewish traditions in the past. So the question is: why not?
I’m Ethiopian I have never been in isreal but I remember when I was a kid I remember we had a mezuzah by the gate and when I asked my grandmother what that was she said it will protect the house and years later she passed away and I moved to USA and mate some friends from Israel and one I went to one of my Israeli house I so the mezuzah for the first time in years and I knew what it was but I asked him and he actually told me that was mezuzah to protect the house from evil and I thought it was cool to have something similar culture but know I noticed a lots of things are very similar like with Jewish culture I cannot say we are not related if any Ethiopian if you read this comment outside Israel and if you know any Israel talk to them about there culture stuff like that you will find truly they have so many common things like pork is forbidden like Ethiopians and some ASHKENAZYS thinks they are the better Jewish nah Ethiopian Jews are to loyal tribe in the house of David the Ethiopian Israeli will rule Israel to the right direction you just have to wait and see. Shalom to the ppl in Israel.
What a question all Jews are connected to each other no matter what color , it does not matter where in the world they come from. We are part of each other. We are all one .
It really sad that the Israelites doubt the Ethiopian Jewish. Not only they suffered in their countryand kept their heritage but also they are sought by other Jewish as well. It's really sticking to hear. Our family were forced to convertto Christianity and they suffering because they still practices their ancestors lifestyle….No one will know unless being in their shoes.
Ethiopian Jews are Jews, but they are not descendants of the Israelites. The other diaspora Jewish communities all share much DNA in common, whey from Morocco, Brazil, Poland or Iraq. The Ethiopian Jews have the same DNA as the Ethiopian non-Jews! They are Jews by choice, they are a convert population.
I really find your videos interesting and informative. I like to hear thoughts from Israeli's especially the younger up and coming generation and their thoughts. They come across as intelligent, fair,open minded people. Continue your great work, Corey. : )
Here age isn't the x factor. The x factor is sect of Judaism. If you ask ultra orthodox Jews the question, you're naturally going to get an ultra orthodox answer. The fact that they're are more non orthodox Jews than orthodox Jews in Israel speaks column on this subject. This video is a valuable sample into the general dynamics of that.
No!They weren't blue blond haired and with blue eyes. They looked like Ofra Haza. Khazars and Askhenazi aren't Jews by blood,they are Turks who converted to Judaism,before their conversion they had their own religion. They aren't like Mizrahi Jews or Ethiopian Jews who are Jews by blood. It is like Eskimos converted to Judaism and then they would "return" to land of Israel,because they converted to Judaism,thinking they are Jews,while infact they were never Jews.

they weren't black they were brown isrealites maybe some they were exiled and intermarried which is why jews look different today long as the mothers jewish they are a jew!
When Moses escaped Egypt the first time he went to Ethiopia to find refuge. His new Ethiopian wife's father Jethro (the chief of the tribe) taught Moses all about the Ten Commandments and then Moses returned to Egypt and told the Jewish race about the Ten Commandments after which they all left Egypt. Ethiopians are the first Jews.
I find it fascinating that so many Jews seem to be unaware of the fact that conversion to Judaism, and joining the Israelite nation was not only permitted, but encouraged in the Torah when dealing with the regulation for owning and freeing slaves several millennia ago. Joining the nation of Israel is nothing new, as this practice is almost as old as the religion itself, and is ascribed in the Bible. The Canaanite slaves that were not Israelite could convert and receive better treatment from their Jewish masters. Jewish history in Ethiopia is not as shaky as European Jewish history when it comes to the "original bloodline" of the Israelite Nation. What I mean by that is mass conversion to Judaism is very well documented in the Caucasus region. The political elite of the Khazarian Empire Converted to Judaism and encouraged many peasants to do the same. Their is a very high possibility that the son of King Solomon and Queen Sheba started a dynasty that ruled Ethiopia for almost three thousand years. Their is evidence that the Ark of the Covenant is also in Ethiopia. Jewish history with what lie south of the land of Cush (Ethiopia) is documented for over 3,000 years in the Bible alone. Most Ethiopians also speak a Semitic language, this is significant, given that Jews are considered a Semitic people. It might also be worth noting that only Aramaic fragments of the Book of Enoch exist, but the whole book is intact in the now dead Geez Language. The Book of Enoch is referenced in the New Testament, But is only considered scripture to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. I find this very odd myself.
When you just witnessed an Ethiopian Jew in Israel eloquently stating that in his life experience 99.9% of the Israelis he lives with are NOT racist and welcoming these people from Africa ( indeed, Israel airlifted tens of thousands of them , risking Israeli lives) and you still state that Israelis are therefore racist, you suffer from serious Jew hatred.
@@z-4926 NONSENSE. Just the other day, another couple of thousand Ethiopians were flown in to Israel to give them a new chance for a better life in safety, abundant in chances part of a civilized First World nation. Most Ethiopians in Israel would not live their country for any reason. All Ethiopians are dark skinned. FACT
Every prophet and leader... there is one example I can think of which is Moses. Most other wifes of prophets & leaders are either not mentioned at all are or certainly their skin color is not mentioned. Still I believe 100% that Ethiopian Jews are 100% Jews, but there is no need for this inaccuracy. Ashkenazi are Jews as well, and there are dozens of genetic studies that prove that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews#Genetic_origins
I am an Ethiopian Judeo Christian and grew up believing all ancient Israelites like Abraham, Isac Jakob; Mosses; Ezra; Dawit--- having same color like Ethiopian Am-haras. I now find it interesting to know that probably our Biblical Israeli fathers/mothers were like us and also like Arabs and even white. Any way color is not that important as far as we all believe in God and do good. May God Bless us all !!
***** Dear Sean, Thank you for your reply. I am working on Amharic learning book, and it will have at least a page showing the strong relation between many words of Hebrew and Amharic. Am Israel Chai
Don't even doubt it!!!! Abraham had an Ethiopian maternal linage, via his ancestor the mother of Pleg (Jubilees 8:7) and the land of Ethiopia was given to Abraham's heritage land as promised to God (Isaiah 43:3). Indeed Ethiopia is the very first country to be mentioned in the Bible. Modern Genetics pointed out Ethiopian Semites carry 33% J1c3 (the Cohen Y DNA) and 23.5% E-M34 (the Levi Y DNA of Mosses). We also have the living Ark of Covenant. We expected the Jewish Messiah Jesus like the Palestine, long before the Birth of Christ. Biblically, no nation is as blessed as we are!!!! I know the fake Jews get upset if I write more facts!!! We are the only survivers of ancient Jews!!!!
Tadasse: I won’t comment about your Judeo Christian upbringing, it is all fairytale to me. as an Half Amhara and Yemenite and Shia Muslim myself I find your claim bogus. I have much respect for my Tewahdo Christian countrymen . No need to renounce your blackness our kushetic family tree. Color does matter.
@@markosalemu than how do you explain the existence of all Jewish monuments in Israel that are over 3,000 years old like the Dead Sea scrolls, the temple mountain, the yricho and Ichar villages, the mezada archeological excavations and more.... 😅 you're wrong, Jews came from the middle east-Asia, which is nowadays Israel, they are drawn by assyrians as tanned (black obelisk) the black Jews today are most honourably, the sons and daughters of the biggest prophet of all, prophet moses, that married zepora that is discribed as a beautiful black woman, the one that saved and helped moses as he run from Egypt.
@@markosalemu by the way, Palestine is a Roman name that came from the Hebrew word "plistim" that describes "polshim" meaning "invaders." you just called the holy land "land of Palestinians"= land of invaders in Hebrew, are you joking?
"Do you believe 3000 years ago they were Jewish?" What does this even mean? 3000 years ago none of them existed. And how would anybody know what their ancestors 3000 years ago were doing.
Good to see true Israeli like you...defending Israel from both extreme racial attacks...the Ashkenazim side and the Ethiopian side. I think both groups are victims of racial attack...though Ethiopians can't afford to carry more. I suggest you work more to keep them in love, without discrimination. They are the only Jews who kept the very old biblical traditions. If you don't, we will be forced to take our Jews back home with better economic and cultural liberty. We need them!
The Jews that went there mixed with the locals over time and part of their DNA is with those Ethiopian Jews. There's also those black Africans that claim Jewish descent. They did their DNA and found the males particularly had something in common with the Jewish cohanim (cohen) priests. A Jew can be born a Jew and a Jew can convert. Exodus, Leviticus, Yevemot and Gittin in the Talmud, Mishna Yevamot all talk about how foreigners can convert and even that they have the same law for both the foreigner and Jew in the land.
The Lemba people of Ethiopia DNA proved they are Jews, you can be from all over from Russia to Iraq From Brazil to Tunisia but not from the same continent as Moses and Abraham even though all those North African Arabs are accepted? Lol.
Can you make a video of asking non Ashkenazim if they think Ashkenazim are Jewish? Can you ask if Ashkenazim are from 2000 yrs ago or are they Khazar converts as it is documented in The Kitab al Khazar; that the Sephardic taught them how to be and that in Germany they also sent for Sephardic teachers in the past hundred years. Can you ask them about Christian identity and British Isrealism. Can you ask them about the Canaanites and Phoenicians and Germanic peoples.Can you ask them about the Jews in India and what happened when the other Jews arrived. Can you ask them if they think everybody has forgotten the truth?
No he cannot ask about all the bullshit theories you see on antisemitic channels. He asked this one because it's backed by genetic studies that ethiopian don't share the same DNA as all the other jews but share the same DNA with ethiopian non-jews. All the other groups of jews, including ashkenazis, are genetically closer to one another than they are to any non-jewish group.
3:47 What a marvelous example of a human being and Israeli Ethiopian you got there. For most of us white Israelis there is no doubt that they are a very welcomed part of us.
Anyone who does not except another solely based on the person's race is a shitty human being. I don't care what country you're from or what you believe. As an Israeli I will say the Ethiopians live here they work here they speak the language they serve in the army etc etc and they are just as Israeli as anyone else. Sometimes even more so.
I don't even understand this question. After over 2000 years in the Diaspora for many of us (2700 for the Ethiopians), of course we would have become lighter or darker depending upon the indigenous peoples we were among and the conditions of the lands we lived in. After 2000+ years of course there are blond Jews and Black Jews. As for the Falash Mura: I'm not sure where their loyalties lie. Those where were converted by force and never bought into Christianity are, of course still Jewish. But I suspect there are died in the wool convinced Christians among them too and they work hand in hand with missionaries. Their primary target is Ethiopian Jews. But I trust the Ethiopian Jews to know how to handle that.
As a West African and devout follower of Traditional African religion, I don't understand why any African or Black person would want to be Jewish or follow any of the Abrahamic religions. However, Black African/Ethopian Jewery is more credible and makes more sense than European Jew. Genetic evidence have shown that a Black tribe in Africa has the ancient and rare paternal priestly class Jewish genes that you will not see in European Jews. A documentary was even made about this..
If was not for old Russian trouble maker , zionsit Jews crazy lived in Uganda project in east Africa controlled of British and by idea of depress mentally ill Herzl, father of Zionism , not like today, live in poor Palestinian homeland
How do you get from Falasha Jews from Ethiopia who are black and who originally came from Israel 3000 plus years ago and have maintained their traditions to Europeans looking jews who were put there by the British in 1948?🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm an atheist Jewish Israeli. I'm an atheist because I never believed in any god, but I'm still Jewish ethnically and culturally. It puts me with a great group of people like Einstein, Spinoza, Freud, Carl Sagan, Woody Allen, and almost every Jewish noble prize winner. This is not uncommon, something like half of the Jews in Israel are secular and about 20% are atheists/agnostics. When you hear that Israel is a "Jewish state" or the "home of the Jewish people" it doesn't mean the Jewishness as religious belief, it means Jewishness as an ethnicity, as a group of people with shared history culture and values.
InDeoRideo Are atheists and non-believers treated differently in Israel? What do Rabbis think about them? As a devoted Muslima I admit that unfortunately most Muslim countries reject or even kill people who have different ideologies.
Cansu We are not treated differently, and we are the majority in Israel. I for one do not believe in god. One can be secular or religious, no one really cares what you do and practice as long as you don't hurt anybody else in the country. As far as I know there are different rabbis with different views, most of them don't condemn the secular and respect their point of view even if they don't agree with them. But there are extremists everywhere.. lately there are problems between the Arab Christians and the Arab Muslims in Israel. Some of the Israeli Arabs (mostly christian) i know feel more Israeli then Palestinian and want to serve the country and be in the IDF. The Muslim Arabs see them as enemies because of that. I will not lie, there's alot of tension lately in Israel be it religious tension or national tension. Anyhow.. If you are not radical Islamist that want to kill all the kufars you are more then welcome and no one will really care what you do, you can say what ever you want and do what ever yout want according the law. But, people mostly wont like it if you say something they dont like but no one will really hurt you because of your beliefs. Mostly will get mad at you but it's not different than any other western country.
Tomer Rubin Thank you for the reply :) If it's true what you say - and I do believe you - the Arab countries could learn a lesson from Israel and how it developed so fast. But still, according to your description Israel is still not as tolerant as other Western countries. Here in Germany no one cares what you believe in or even what you say about other religions. Same with all the other European states. But I'm sure Israel is just about to be like that very soon.
Cansu no we don't treat different. Actually many of the israelis are not religous, before i joined the army i have never knew a religous jew. All my friend are secular and my dad is an athiest. I dislike the ultra orthodox jews who are very religous and not very helpfull to the state thanx gid they are minority, but other religous jews are fine...they are just like us! In israel we are all equal no matter what u believe or not!
Imagine a great queen gets married to the king of the people who wrote the story and they did not know her name and the location of the kingdom is also a mystery.
The question of the genetic link is totaly stupid, why dn't you ask thye same question about redhead or white skin Jewish people, because 3 000 year ago the standard of Jewish people could be "Egyptian type".
by Egyptian type time, i mean the type of population who lived in Egyptian areas 3 000 years ago. I could be useful to look at that histroy of this area to know the orgin of the different migratory movements
Pierre Vallet I understand. But there were no Jews in ancient times because Jews are a recently created people using religion as the foundation and a made up language named Hebrew.
Egyptians enslaved them plus people dont realize "Egypt" through out the last 4 thousand years and before the hebrews where enslaved egypt was invaded and conqueres by man peoples like the hyksos (cananites)
i am totally sure that the story of enslaved jews in the Pharaohs' Egypt are real, it is just a fiction form a book. I an never seen jews artifact in the Egyptian's gallery of the museums i have visited.

It is so funny, that nobody mentioned king Solomon and queen Shiva. In the bible it says that she married him, converted and left to her country (today Ethiopia) being pregnant withe a son. The story goes that when her son ascended to throne he converted the whole country and Judaism become the official religion. As well it is believed that The original 10 commandment were gifted to Shiva and are still hidden somewhere in Ethiopia.
Better question: Do you seriously think that the Hebrews 3,000 to 4,000 years ago were White?
***** "Arabic looking"?
The thing is, the term "Arabic", much like the term "Middle East" are European inventions. Because thousands of years ago and today, there are Black natives in the so-called "Middle East" who once were considered "Arabic".
***** There are Arabs who are blond and Arabs who are totally black. So what is Arab looking for u?

"Nope, but they were Caucasian, white people living in hot climates tan heavily"

***** Wait? Isn't the appearance of the skin on one's feet usually a solid indicator of the skin of their entire body? After all, it would be pretty awkward if the skin on my feet was burnt like brass while everywhere else on my body, my skin was White.
Jewish men married European women a thousand years ago to create the Ashkenazi and Sephardi a long time ago. No one complains. But when Jewish men married with Ethiopians, and Ethiopian Jews were created, people question the validity of their Jewish identity? Like, cmon now.
You must be real dumb to think that this happened a thousand years ago. It's been happening since the birth of humans. Judaism is NOT a race, it's a religion.
also jews are not a nation
+cadr003 That is not really true. Genetic studies have shown that ashkenazi jews belong to one ethnicity regardless where they came from, meaning that they mainly married each other, and did not really mix
Pál Varga this is certainly not true.
Kerem KORUR
I am hungarian and we have a big jewish community, and I saw a lot of interviews with a hungarian genetics expert, who talked a lot about how was it possible that the jews did not suffer any major genetic defects despite they married almost sorely to other jews for centuries, meanwhile the gypsies did the same, but the oppossite results occoured.
How come the russian jews are automatically considered jews from thousands of years ago, but ethiopian jews are questioned?
I am far from an expert but in Ethiopia in some cases the Jewish religion is mixed up with other religions . They were persecuted and adopted other religions in part. Christians tried converting some. Over the hundreds of years you can imagine the dilution. In some cases there are no Rabbis . Thats why there were questions. I also think in some cases not all There DNA matches other Jews. Just on a side note I don't think there is an example of a country accepting as large of a minority as Israel.
Racism
ethiopian jews had different culture and religion rules than the western jews. ethiopian used to believe that the "beit ha mikdash" the holiest place for jews is still exist (which is not), therefore they were following religious rules that used to be part of when beit ha mikdash was part of the religion. as well as many rules that been add like marry to only one woman and so on. the rabbies had some hard time dealing with those issues and very minority was thinking that ethiopian are not jews anymore and need to convert their way of praying etc

So it's fine to be blond, blue-eyed Jew but somehow, being dark-skin doesn't fit the Jewish profile.. as if Moses and co looked like Britney Spears back in the days LOL.
Parts of central and northern Ethiopia speak languages with Semitic roots (Amharic, Tingrinya, Guraginga etc) and they have a long cultural and religious connection with the "holy land". Ethiopian Jews are in fact just Ethiopians from Amhara region, who believed in God when Europeans and others had their "ancient Gods" and never converted to Christianity when the majority did so.
Are there scammers that lied to have a chance to flee to Israel (people always try to go where the grass is greener right), absolutely, but to deny an entire group of people with a long history is just ridiculous.
Personally, I'm saddened by the fact that Ethiopian Jews left for Israel. They are a crucial part of our long history and it would be nice if they still were part of our multicultural society. But I also understand why they did so, because my parents fled to Sweden during that same time. Ethiopia was under a brutal communist regime, not leaving when if you were given a chance would be a foolish thing to do.
Anyways, love and respect to all.
I totally totally agree with you! Honestly, I question the Ashkenazim since most of them believe in conversion. I don't know of any Ethiopian Jew, Sephardim, or Mizrahi Jew that believe in this conversion mess. Modern Judaism is pure European roots. So question the German Jew not the Ethiopian Jew!
Hello World B Please do tell, how did the Ethiopian empire (which empire?) treat Ethiopian jews?
as an ethiopian jew i have to say that you explained it very well, btw i didn't know there are ethiopians in sweden?
The problem was *only* with the *phalashmura* tribe. Not all the others. In the end, after *research* , they all considered as *jews*. It's nothing about color.
Though I haven't met any Ethiopian jews mostly because I grew up in a predominantly Muslim parts of the country(somali region) but there is a city called Welleqa and its residents are predominantly jews. They call them selfs the 12 tribes of juda so they are very much as Jewish as anybody else.

That's ironic the Ashkenazi Rabbi's dictating who's a jew or not
It's literally the opposite of what happened. Rabbi Ovadia Yoseph which is Mizrachy said they should be considered Jews and his opinion was accepted not only throughout the vast majority of the political parties but also through the vast majority of the people in Israel
Their is laws
I understand the irony. I think.
ovadia yosef is mizrahi, and ashkenazis are 100% jews so there is no irony here.

John Doe what does that have to do with anything? Bring from s Christian environment doesn't make you a Christian. I'm African culturally, raised in American Christianity. Does that make me a Christian? No.
That's because Geez (Ethiopian Jewish language), Amharic (Ethiopian national language) and Tigrinya are all Semetic languages. The argument against Ethiopian Jews is that their traditions predate a lot of modern Jewish tenets, and as such, are not "kosher".
Kevin does: The Ethiopian alphabet or writing is remotely close to Hebrew. It is true some of the Amharic words are Arabic but for the most part is Kushetic or Nubian .

Need more proof that white people can't be true Hebrews?
scripture tells us that the Hebrews had black hair and that if even one hair turns yellow & thin, that it is the sign of a bad thing. So if the Hebrews had yellow hair, how in the world could the high priest examine their head for yellow hairs to see if they're sick? If the Hebrews woke up with yellow hair, they would have freaked out because they would have thought that they had some kind of illness. Scripture says that if a Hebrew was found with just "one thin yellow hair" it was bad but if the hair was black, then they are 'clean'. So if one thin yellow hair is bad, you can certainly believe that they didn't have a full head of yellow thin hair. see Leviticus 13:30. Yellow (blonde) thin haired (white)people are not Hebrews. Also, everyone knows that the Hebrews originate from a tropical area. White skinned people don't come from hot regions. Moses and the rest of the Hebrews certainly didn't need sunblock all those years walking around in the desert. They had melanin in their skin to protect them. A natural sunblock that causes the skin to be brown. My Messiah also don't need sunblock to protect his skin. Israel now has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world because the white people that moved there are converts, who don't originate from the land. A true indigenous people would not have this problem in their own native land. Do alligators have a drowning problem in the swamp? Does polar bears have a cold problem in the artic? Do camels have a problem living in the desert? All of these animals do just fine in their natural habitat. And if you are true natives to that land, you should have no problem going outside without getting skin burns and skin cancer, and you shouldn't have to need a bottle of sunblock just to enjoy the outdoors but even that isn't enough to slow down the sky high skin cancer rate in Israel.The bible says that Moses and paul were mistaken for Egyptians. What did the ancient Egyptians look like before Arabs conquered the land? They're black. Google it. Also, the book of Daniel (kjv) clearly states that the Messiah had hair like pure wool and mentions nothing about hair color. Just "pure wool"(Daniel 7:9). What does wooly haired people look like?
Greentea Yum sigh, I will repeat what I said: why would it matter? They're jews now. And hebrews were olive-skinned. That makes more sense.
Furthermore, the theory is that ashkenazi and such have zero connection to semitic people which I find implausible
The Ashkenzai people are probably connected to other semitic people. Don't forget that Esau and Ishmael was also semitic, children of Abraham. And we know that Esau (Edom) converted to Judaism and started falsely declaring that they were Jews in 110 BC, so I don't question if some of them have some semitic blood in them considering those facts, but they aren't Jacob's (Israel's) children. The very fact that they're over there in the Holy land is because they're riding the wave, claiming that they are "the chosen people of Jacob". So don't say it doesn't really matter if they're converts after all. They got a whole country by claiming that they're the DNA of a family that they don't even belong to.
Isaiah 44:4- Others will say, 'I am a descendant of Jacob.' Some will write the LORD's name on their hands and will TAKE the name of Israel as their own"
Although I am a Somali Muslim, this video has made me very concerned for the well-being of my Ethiopian brothers and sisters in Israel. For a European Ashkenazi to question the legitimacy of the Ethiopian’s Jewish heritage is nothing but ironic and also puzzling. I hope things get better for my Habesha brothers and sisters, in Israel and the Horn of Africa. 💕🇸🇴🇪🇹🇪🇷
You have nothing to worry about Ethiopians in Israel! They are doing much better in Israel than in Ethiopia, that's for sure... Thanks for your concern though!
Thnx❤️❤️

So Jews originated in an African country having all its traditions and cultures derived from dark skinned African and Iranian (Babylonian) cultures. And now, blonde and blue eyed Jews are asking if Ethiopians are genetically linked to Jews. Should not this question be asked to blonde or white Jews?
Compare the Jews with the Samaritans and Palestinians there
Egypt is hardly African. It is the exception to African culture and development not the rule. Egyptians were not black.
It's been done. With regards to the Palestinians, on study showed that they are the blood brothers of Jews, Syrians and Lebanese while another showed kinship with Arabians - so I'll assume it's somewhere inbetween. Studies have shown a clear connection between Jews and Samaritans - we are almost identical (at least paternally anyway).
Interestingly, if you search 'nMonte' on Google, the first website that comes up (should be Eupedia) shows the genetic results of Ashkenazi Jews when using reference populations such as Samaritans and Israeli Arabs. Ashkenazi sample scored 33% Samaritan, 15% Israeli Arab, 30% Tuscan..

Jews were scattered and their true history lost when The Roman's destroyed Jerusalem and with it the fulfillment of Gods warnings.
There is no doubt in my mind that I (an Ashkenazi Jew) and the Ethiopian Jews have the same ancestors. DNA tests have linked Ashkenazim, Mizrahim, and Sephardim to other groups in Africa like the Lemba as well. The Diaspora scattered us across the globe, and we were forced to assimilate wherever we landed, which is why we are so racially diverse, but regardless, we are all part of the Jewish people.
Then you are the only people in the entire world who are "so racially diverse", but are nonetheless a single "ethnic group". You can't tell Ethiopian Jews apart from other Ethiopians in the area of their origin, just like you can't tell the "newly-discovered Lemba African Jews" apart from other non-Lemba Africans in their area of origin. Yet, we are supposed to believe that all Jews are "genetically closer to other Jews elsewhere in the world, than they are to the peoples and tribes from whom they can't be told apart.

Am Ethiopian- Christian and it's a lil surprising for me to see some people doubt - even ask a question. I mean, frankly if you come to Ethiopia, it's the ordinary old old old oriental Christians that speak of the felashas as original Jews. Even we, Ethiopian Christians believe that we are Christian converts from Jew in 3rd 4th centuries. Legend has it that there've been Ethiopian Jews since the time of King Solomon in Israel. And even as Christians roughly since 333AD, Ethiopian kings also claimed Solomonic generic root up until the last Emperor of the Solomonic dynasty - Haileselassie I was deposed in 1974. That's 3000 years on the nick.
No Jew is a race. Following the law of Moses does not make you Jewish.

I'm not Jewish, but i think if the argument is based on looks and color, then i think Ashkenazi Jews as well as European/ Russian Jews are the least people to be considered as Jews. In fact many dispute that European Jews are actually real Jews by blood and genes; in fact some see these white blonde Europeans as only mere converts to Judaism. The real Jews are those who come from the middle east and morocco like Jews from Yemen, Iran, Iraq etc, these folks did not mix with non Jews at all.
Well the funny thing is Jews who grew up in Morocco who are sephardi like half my family are very genetically similar to Ashkenazi jews who were deported to eastern europe... so your argument is nonsense.

It fails to ask the important question.....Ethiopians are connected to Moshe, and the Navi even mention them.... Jealousy is very bad against them by the newer Jew that forgot that they were Semites...
I love all these obscenely racist comments by "anti-Zionists." Of course Ethiopian Jews are Jews just like Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrakhi, Yemenite, and other smaller groups are Jewish. All modern Jews are genetically mixed with people (whether European, East African, Arabian, Persian, Mesopotamian, Berber, etc) so the idea that appearance alone could determine whether someone is a Jew (as in descended from ancient Jews) is absurd and racist.
I also like how people seem to think that because some Ashkenazi Jews have "white" skin means that all are blonde with blue eyes, and thus no different from Europeans. There have been COUNTLESS genetic studies by ACTUAL scientists showing that Ashkenazi (who are almost identical to Sephardim) are descended from Judean men who married European (mostly southern European) women 1000-2000 years ago. Even the most pathetic attempts to "prove" the Khazar theory have concluded that Ashkenazim are a "mosaic of Near Eastern, European, Caucasus people."
This also of course ignores the fact that many Ashkenazim are indistinguishable from your typical non-Arabian indigenous Levantine groups, and that many Mizrakhi and Sephardi Jews are "white" as are many Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians.
You racists are so pathetic you just make things up and repeat lies that are easily refutable. You have zero integrity and should be ashamed of yourselves. If you believe in any sort of divine judgment, be sure that you will be judged for you blatant lies and incitement of hate.

That is like Europeans having babies with native Americans until they are all blonde and blue eyed and raising them in the tribe and then turning around and saying that the dark skinned natives are not as native. At that point they are no longer genetically native Americans anymore no matter if their kids were raised in the legal tribe. Totally stupid and backwards. As a Sephardi Jew I have not wanted to go there because I hate racism and their has been a racist portrayal shown but this has made me think that maybe I do want to visit. Thank you.

I am a Russian Israeli and I used to live in Beer Sheva and I dread the Moroccan Jews to this day, because of how they treated us back then. They treated us like dogs. "Stinky Russians, go back to Russia, no one wanted you here, you are all thieves and prostitutes". I know three people who killed themselves in their first year in Israel because of the harassment by Moroccans.
Also, it was mostly rape, not marriage. Your ancestors were raped by Arabs, ours, by Europeans. Which is why you are darker skinned than our shared ancestors, and we are lighter skinned. Nothing to be proud of in either case.
Anyway, how can you make this stuff up under this video, which has pretty much proven you wrong?
askenazi jews arent white thio
The tan jews are getting their ideology from the European jews. In Europe there’s this unspoken arrogance whether spoken or not, since colonialism, that the lighter the shade the better the person.
Sexual violence around the time of the Roman expulsion of the Jews is probably where most of their European dna comes from. Not from marriage thouyif course that happened too.
A lot of Israelis have tannned skin with Middle Eastern roots, the stereotype of white Jews in Israel is not as common as you think. That’s morris to be found in orthodox communities which the presenter did ask one of.
This will surprise the doubters. I am an Eritrean, from the Orthodox Christian. During a once a year annual celebration in every village, town or churches in cities the priests would extract the Tabot (the tablet that contain the 10 commandments that God gave to Moses) from Beit Meqdess (ቤት መቕደስ) fully covered is carried by a decon in the front, the procession walk around the church continues by the priests followed by the believers. This is done to remind the believers that they are ruled by God’s laws. I believe that ancient Judaic tradition is still practiced by the Christians. You want more surprise you should look into the linguistics Geeze, Tigrinya Tigre languages. Don’t forget humans have feet and a long time to walk the small world.
I have worked with ethiopians in israel for some years and have even learnt their language a bit.
I am not a historian but from what i heard, one of King Solomon's wives was Bat Sheva, which was an Ethiopian queen.
Besides,if u ask the ethiopian jews from the countryside of Ethiopia, they will tell you that their ancestors have learnt and taught the Torah ORALLY for generations...
definately that means something.
There are even cases of rolls of the Megilat Esther being found in China by archeologists and according to some remainings,there were tribes in Asia which would keep Shabbat and some more Jewish traditions in the past.
So the question is: why not?
Ethiopian Jews are Jews. No question about it.
Exactly, the queen is Queen Sheba. We as kids learned about her and King Solomon for generations. It is even in our ancient artwork, their love story.

Ethiopian Jews are Jews, but they are not descendants of the Israelites. The other diaspora Jewish communities all share much DNA in common, whey from Morocco, Brazil, Poland or Iraq. The Ethiopian Jews have the same DNA as the Ethiopian non-Jews! They are Jews by choice, they are a convert population.

When Moses escaped Egypt the first time he went to Ethiopia to find refuge. His new Ethiopian wife's father Jethro (the chief of the tribe) taught Moses all about the Ten Commandments and then Moses returned to Egypt and told the Jewish race about the Ten Commandments after which they all left Egypt. Ethiopians are the first Jews.

I find it fascinating that so many Jews seem to be unaware of the fact that conversion to Judaism, and joining the Israelite nation was not only permitted, but encouraged in the Torah when dealing with the regulation for owning and freeing slaves several millennia ago. Joining the nation of Israel is nothing new, as this practice is almost as old as the religion itself, and is ascribed in the Bible. The Canaanite slaves that were not Israelite could convert and receive better treatment from their Jewish masters. Jewish history in Ethiopia is not as shaky as European Jewish history when it comes to the "original bloodline" of the Israelite Nation. What I mean by that is mass conversion to Judaism is very well documented in the Caucasus region. The political elite of the Khazarian Empire Converted to Judaism and encouraged many peasants to do the same. Their is a very high possibility that the son of King Solomon and Queen Sheba started a dynasty that ruled Ethiopia for almost three thousand years. Their is evidence that the Ark of the Covenant is also in Ethiopia. Jewish history with what lie south of the land of Cush (Ethiopia) is documented for over 3,000 years in the Bible alone. Most Ethiopians also speak a Semitic language, this is significant, given that Jews are considered a Semitic people. It might also be worth noting that only Aramaic fragments of the Book of Enoch exist, but the whole book is intact in the now dead Geez Language. The Book of Enoch is referenced in the New Testament, But is only considered scripture to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. I find this very odd myself.
The last fellow's english was fantastic.
When you just witnessed an Ethiopian Jew in Israel eloquently stating that in his life experience 99.9% of the Israelis he lives with are NOT racist and welcoming these people from Africa ( indeed, Israel airlifted tens of thousands of them , risking Israeli lives) and you still state that Israelis are therefore racist, you suffer from serious Jew hatred.
So true.
He looks mixed, he could pass as Yemeni. Go ask a dark skin Ethiopian about his experience living there and you'll get a completely different answer.
@@z-4926 NONSENSE. Just the other day, another couple of thousand Ethiopians were flown in to Israel to give them a new chance for a better life in safety, abundant in chances part of a civilized First World nation. Most Ethiopians in Israel would not live their country for any reason. All Ethiopians are dark skinned. FACT
@@z-4926 lmao so u basically saying the darker ones suffer the most
I wonder why Israel government was giving them birth control injections disguised as vaccine to live in Israel.
I would love to do this kind of journalism, very insightful and personal. 🙏🏽
it's really funny that when you actually read the bible every prophet and Jewish leader had an African (Ethiopian/Nubian) wife
Every prophet and leader... there is one example I can think of which is Moses. Most other wifes of prophets & leaders are either not mentioned at all are or certainly their skin color is not mentioned. Still I believe 100% that Ethiopian Jews are 100% Jews, but there is no need for this inaccuracy. Ashkenazi are Jews as well, and there are dozens of genetic studies that prove that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews#Genetic_origins
@Samuel Levy guess you never actually read the Bible...his first wife was Arab but his second was Ethiopian
Nubian is sudanese & egyptian. And the wife’s origins weren’t mentioned except Moses
@@assafelron1 Precisely.
I am an Ethiopian Judeo Christian and grew up believing all ancient Israelites like Abraham, Isac Jakob; Mosses; Ezra; Dawit--- having same color like Ethiopian Am-haras. I now find it interesting to know that probably our Biblical Israeli fathers/mothers were like us and also like Arabs and even white. Any way color is not that important as far as we all believe in God and do good. May God Bless us all !!

Dear Sean, Thank you for your reply. I am working on Amharic learning book, and it will have at least a page showing the strong relation between many words of Hebrew and Amharic. Am Israel Chai
Don't even doubt it!!!! Abraham had an Ethiopian maternal linage, via his ancestor the mother of Pleg (Jubilees 8:7) and the land of Ethiopia was given to Abraham's heritage land as promised to God (Isaiah 43:3). Indeed Ethiopia is the very first country to be mentioned in the Bible. Modern Genetics pointed out Ethiopian Semites carry 33% J1c3 (the Cohen Y DNA) and 23.5% E-M34 (the Levi Y DNA of Mosses). We also have the living Ark of Covenant. We expected the Jewish Messiah Jesus like the Palestine, long before the Birth of Christ. Biblically, no nation is as blessed as we are!!!! I know the fake Jews get upset if I write more facts!!! We are the only survivers of ancient Jews!!!!
Tadasse: I won’t comment about your Judeo Christian upbringing, it is all fairytale to me. as an Half Amhara and Yemenite and Shia Muslim myself I find your claim bogus. I have much respect for my Tewahdo Christian countrymen . No need to renounce your blackness our kushetic family tree. Color does matter.

than how do you explain the existence of all Jewish monuments in Israel that are over 3,000 years old like the Dead Sea scrolls, the temple mountain, the yricho and Ichar villages, the mezada archeological excavations and more.... 😅
you're wrong, Jews came from the middle east-Asia, which is nowadays Israel, they are drawn by assyrians as tanned (black obelisk) the black Jews today are most honourably, the sons and daughters of the biggest prophet of all, prophet moses, that married zepora that is discribed as a beautiful black woman, the one that saved and helped moses as he run from Egypt.
@@markosalemu
by the way, Palestine is a Roman name that came from the Hebrew word "plistim" that describes "polshim" meaning "invaders."
you just called the holy land "land of Palestinians"= land of invaders in Hebrew, are you joking?
Shout out to the Israeli Jews!! Much respect for y'all!
Respect for what
Who sent you 👀
It's the marce of the cross which Christian peasant women in Ethiopia wear.
"Do you believe 3000 years ago they were Jewish?" What does this even mean? 3000 years ago none of them existed. And how would anybody know what their ancestors 3000 years ago were doing.

Good to see true Israeli like you...defending Israel from both extreme racial attacks...the Ashkenazim side and the Ethiopian side. I think both groups are victims of racial attack...though Ethiopians can't afford to carry more. I suggest you work more to keep them in love, without discrimination. They are the only Jews who kept the very old biblical traditions. If you don't, we will be forced to take our Jews back home with better economic and cultural liberty. We need them!
everyone is righteous infront of a camera
The Jews that went there mixed with the locals over time and part of their DNA is with those Ethiopian Jews. There's also those black Africans that claim Jewish descent. They did their DNA and found the males particularly had something in common with the Jewish cohanim (cohen) priests. A Jew can be born a Jew and a Jew can convert. Exodus, Leviticus, Yevemot and Gittin in the Talmud, Mishna Yevamot all talk about how foreigners can convert and even that they have the same law for both the foreigner and Jew in the land.
The Lemba people of Ethiopia DNA proved they are Jews, you can be from all over from Russia to Iraq From Brazil to Tunisia but not from the same continent as Moses and Abraham even though all those North African Arabs are accepted? Lol.

Can you make a video of asking non Ashkenazim if they think Ashkenazim are Jewish? Can you ask if Ashkenazim are from 2000 yrs ago or are they Khazar converts as it is documented in The Kitab al Khazar; that the Sephardic taught them how to be and that in Germany they also sent for Sephardic teachers in the past hundred years. Can you ask them about Christian identity and British Isrealism. Can you ask them about the Canaanites and Phoenicians and Germanic peoples.Can you ask them about the Jews in India and what happened when the other Jews arrived. Can you ask them if they think everybody has forgotten the truth?
No he cannot ask about all the bullshit theories you see on antisemitic channels. He asked this one because it's backed by genetic studies that ethiopian don't share the same DNA as all the other jews but share the same DNA with ethiopian non-jews. All the other groups of jews, including ashkenazis, are genetically closer to one another than they are to any non-jewish group.
3:47 What a marvelous example of a human being and Israeli Ethiopian you got there. For most of us white Israelis there is no doubt that they are a very welcomed part of us.
It's fantastic that the people interviewed are accepting the Ethiopian jews
You do a good job Corey
Thanks for sharing these videos and greetings from Australia
Anyone who does not except another solely based on the person's race is a shitty human being. I don't care what country you're from or what you believe. As an Israeli I will say the Ethiopians live here they work here they speak the language they serve in the army etc etc and they are just as Israeli as anyone else. Sometimes even more so.
I don't even understand this question. After over 2000 years in the Diaspora for many of us (2700 for the Ethiopians), of course we would have become lighter or darker depending upon the indigenous peoples we were among and the conditions of the lands we lived in. After 2000+ years of course there are blond Jews and Black Jews.
As for the Falash Mura: I'm not sure where their loyalties lie. Those where were converted by force and never bought into Christianity are, of course still Jewish. But I suspect there are died in the wool convinced Christians among them too and they work hand in hand with missionaries. Their primary target is Ethiopian Jews. But I trust the Ethiopian Jews to know how to handle that.
Rabbi Akiva was a descendant of Amalek, does this negate that he was one of the greatest Jewish sages?
The Ethiopian guy speaks very good English.
Brian Thomas thank you (:
the Ethiopian didn't sound genuine with his answer on how he has been treated by the other people around him.
+sidney moon
jesus never existed
Lucifer is the bringer of light (Bright morning star)
I'm a wear of that.
Liel Vaknin so the fact that the Israeli government is forcing the sterilization of Ethiopian people isn't racist?
How could Abraham be the father of Ethiopians when Ethiopians already existed before the Abraham story was created.
The fact that anybody needs to have this conversation is concerning.
Moses married an Ethiopian and the offspring was the Ethiopian Jews.
הם האחים שלנו. פשוט מאוד.
Bless them. Truth will be revealed.
Exactly. Kan
As a West African and devout follower of Traditional African religion, I don't understand why any African or Black person would want to be Jewish or follow any of the Abrahamic religions. However, Black African/Ethopian Jewery is more credible and makes more sense than European Jew. Genetic evidence have shown that a Black tribe in Africa has the ancient and rare paternal priestly class Jewish genes that you will not see in European Jews. A documentary was even made about this..
Imagine being a blonde Polish or Russian guy of khazar descent and telling others they are not genetically related with ancient jews.
so much anti semitism on such a positive video
If was not for old Russian trouble maker , zionsit Jews crazy lived in Uganda project in east Africa controlled of British and by idea of depress mentally ill Herzl, father of Zionism , not like today, live in poor Palestinian homeland
You think this is a positive video. The answers were, but the question was very strange. Or worse.
How do you get from Falasha Jews from Ethiopia who are black and who originally came from Israel 3000 plus years ago and have maintained their traditions to Europeans looking jews who were put there by the British in 1948?🤔🤔🤔🤔
There is NO history of Falasha Jews being 3000 years old! That is fallacy! The Ethiopian Jews have the Same DNA as the Ethiopian non-Jews!
Dear Corey, Can yoi ask this question? Do most Israelis religious or not? And if secular whu do they choose to live in a Jewish state
I'm an atheist Jewish Israeli. I'm an atheist because I never believed in any god, but I'm still Jewish ethnically and culturally. It puts me with a great group of people like Einstein, Spinoza, Freud, Carl Sagan, Woody Allen, and almost every Jewish noble prize winner. This is not uncommon, something like half of the Jews in Israel are secular and about 20% are atheists/agnostics. When you hear that Israel is a "Jewish state" or the "home of the Jewish people" it doesn't mean the Jewishness as religious belief, it means Jewishness as an ethnicity, as a group of people with shared history culture and values.
InDeoRideo Are atheists and non-believers treated differently in Israel? What do Rabbis think about them?
As a devoted Muslima I admit that unfortunately most Muslim countries reject or even kill people who have different ideologies.
Cansu We are not treated differently, and we are the majority in Israel. I for one do not believe in god. One can be secular or religious, no one really cares what you do and practice as long as you don't hurt anybody else in the country. As far as I know there are different rabbis with different views, most of them don't condemn the secular and respect their point of view even if they don't agree with them. But there are extremists everywhere.. lately there are problems between the Arab Christians and the Arab Muslims in Israel. Some of the Israeli Arabs (mostly christian) i know feel more Israeli then Palestinian and want to serve the country and be in the IDF. The Muslim Arabs see them as enemies because of that. I will not lie, there's alot of tension lately in Israel be it religious tension or national tension. Anyhow.. If you are not radical Islamist that want to kill all the kufars you are more then welcome and no one will really care what you do, you can say what ever you want and do what ever yout want according the law. But, people mostly wont like it if you say something they dont like but no one will really hurt you because of your beliefs. Mostly will get mad at you but it's not different than any other western country.
Tomer Rubin Thank you for the reply :)
If it's true what you say - and I do believe you - the Arab countries could learn a lesson from Israel and how it developed so fast.
But still, according to your description Israel is still not as tolerant as other Western countries. Here in Germany no one cares what you believe in or even what you say about other religions. Same with all the other European states. But I'm sure Israel is just about to be like that very soon.
Cansu no we don't treat different. Actually many of the israelis are not religous, before i joined the army i have never knew a religous jew. All my friend are secular and my dad is an athiest. I dislike the ultra orthodox jews who are very religous and not very helpfull to the state thanx gid they are minority, but other religous jews are fine...they are just like us! In israel we are all equal no matter what u believe or not!
All I'm taking from your videos is that for the most part Jews are a very accepting, kind, and intelligent people.
tss! i dont decide the rabi decides for my opinion hahhaha what a disgrace for al humanity!!!
+Ramsay Snow I think he just wanted to keep his opinion to himself or he didn't really want to say 'no' (which is probably what he believed, I think)
Sheba is a place not the name of a person
+Omega1st I thought it was the queen of sheba but who knows
Who was it named after?
Imagine a great queen gets married to the king of the people who wrote the story and they did not know her name and the location of the kingdom is also a mystery.
Literally Moses wife was ethiopian, so Im assuming a lot of others also married ethiopians and now their decendents are them.
abid you have nothing to do with Torah
The question of the genetic link is totaly stupid, why dn't you ask thye same question about redhead or white skin Jewish people, because 3 000 year ago the standard of Jewish people could be "Egyptian type".
Pierre Vallet What is the Egyptian type?
by Egyptian type time, i mean the type of population who lived in Egyptian areas 3 000 years ago. I could be useful to look at that histroy of this area to know the orgin of the different migratory movements
Pierre Vallet I understand. But there were no Jews in ancient times because Jews are a recently created people using religion as the foundation and a made up language named Hebrew.
Egyptians enslaved them plus people dont realize "Egypt" through out the last 4 thousand years and before the hebrews where enslaved egypt was invaded and conqueres by man peoples like the hyksos (cananites)
i am totally sure that the story of enslaved jews in the Pharaohs' Egypt are real, it is just a fiction form a book. I an never seen jews artifact in the Egyptian's gallery of the museums i have visited.
Love your videos!!! Very informative.
Wonderful replies.
I love isreal nation since I knew it and my dad told me our ancestors came from Ethiopia and they immigrated in kenya in eastern of kenya long long many centuries a go and they were two groups one remained in machakos and the one came down to Makueni.
Jesus, so there was Machakos and Makueni then?
It is so funny, that nobody mentioned king Solomon and queen Shiva. In the bible it says that she married him, converted and left to her country (today Ethiopia) being pregnant withe a son. The story goes that when her son ascended to throne he converted the whole country and Judaism become the official religion. As well it is believed that The original 10 commandment were gifted to Shiva and are still hidden somewhere in Ethiopia.
your day has come Corey! where people have come to learn about israel and palestine!
