Who Are the Ethiopian Jews?

[phkrause]

A look at the history, traditions, and heroic airlift to Israel of the ancient Jewish community of Beta Israel.

Ethiopian Jews are Jewish people who, for centuries, lived in the Lake Tana region of northern Ethiopia. The community’s origins are uncertain, although travelers, scholars, and others mention them in accounts dating back to the 15th century—and possibly even as early as the ninth—while the community’s own oral history dates them back to biblical times.

Very interesting history on these folks as well as the Ethiopian Orthodox Church which dates it's origin to definite New Testament Bible times. One of your own Scholars has looked into both groups. Matthew Korpman.
