So uh, anyone else expecting Rabbi Tyrone this saturday?
“Once they were kings. A half million strong, they matched their faith with fervor and out-matched the Moslem and Christian tribesmen around them to rule the mountain highlands around Lake Tana. They called themselves Beta Israel—the house of Israel—and used the Torah to guide their prayers and memories of the heights of Jerusalem as they lived in their thatched huts in Ethiopia. But their neighbors called them Falashas—the alien ones, the invaders. And even three hundred years of rule, even the black features that matched those of all the people around them did not make the Jews of Ethiopia secure governors of their destiny in Africa” (“Falashas: The Forgotten Jews,” Baltimore Jewish Times, 9 November 1979).
QuoteSo uh, anyone else expecting Rabbi Tyrone this saturday? I think they should only be recognized if they actually follow Judaism. Didn't Israel rescue 15,000 Ethiopian Jews from Ethiopia and brought them to Israel?I found this quote in a website:Quote“Once they were kings.
