As an Ethiopian that loves Ethiopian history this might be the best video I’ve ever seen on Beta Israel. I read a really good book on them and it touched on a lot of these topics. My favorite thing about this is that it speaks on the high points of Ethiopian Jews. Oftentimes they are presented as a perpetually hopeless group when they had agency and were extremely vital contributors to Ethiopian society. What’s really sad to me is that the Derg sold them for weapons in a losing war. I really wish Ethiopia could play host to a successful and vibrant Beta Israel community again. To me, they’ll always have a home in Ethiopia. And Ethiopians today would be well served to embrace what little of the community is left as brothers and sisters.

As an Ethiopian Jew who were born in Israel, I want to thank you for covering this topic. Great video, very detailed and enriching. People don’t understand how much Beta Israel sacrificed to fulfill the dream of returning to Israel, just this part of history needs a video of it’s own.

Very interesting and informative video. Thank you. In Ethiopian Historiography it wasn't Emperor Kaleb that turned against the Jews in Aksum after his victory against Dhu-Nuwas (Finhas/Pinchas). It is written that Emperor Kaleb had two sons. The Elder was called "Bete Israel" (House of Israel) and the younger was called "Gebre Mesqel" (Servant of the Cross). The elder brother was the rightful inheriter of the throne, but Kaleb had him made viceroy in Yemen, while installing Gebre Mesqel as the ruler of Aksum. This led to a civil war which Gebre Meskel won and the followers of Bete Israel were banished to the remote Semien mountains. Of course Bete Israel stands for the Jews and Gebre Mesqel for the Christians. The other interesting fact is that the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church preserves many traditions, which can be seen as having Jewish roots (dietary laws, circumcision, keeping the Sabbath day holy, reverence to the Ark of the Covenant). Of course there is a debate on whether these traditions are of Jewish origin, local origin, or whether they were just inspired by the old testament).

This is a great level of detail. I'm particularly delighted that you addressed the common myths surrounding Beta Israel.

I recall when I was in college in the mid '80's there was an airlift of "Falashas" to Israel. I don't recall the details except that there was a lot of to-do about it in the press and my world history teacher who was Jewish hailing them as "direct descendants of the Queen of Sheba." Hard not to be impressed. I was therefore surprised to learn that there was yet another airlift in '91 and that the history of these people was nothing like what we'd been told. I think this video is your best yet.

Learning about the Jews of Ethiopia was maybe the first time that political geography, and especially the stories of non-national ethnic groups (that is, ethnic groups without their own state) became so fascinating to me.

Truth and accuracy in telling history are so important. Continued excellent work in clarifying what is known..what is/was thought or understood, and even mis-understood.

Thank you for this episode. I am a Anglican Church Member but as my oldest son was doing research into our ancestry he found several things. First he found that our family (on both sides) had connection to the Spanish Conquesta of Mexico with my mother's side founding a section of what would become Moralia in Michucan. My father's family were also part of the founders of New Mexico. He found a censes document that showed our great great grand father was alive in the 1870 censes born in 1774, living as a citizen of three different countries without moving. We also have learned that the area he grow up in was where many converso had move to. We bare in our flesh the Abrahamic Covenant. Though not crypto Jews we very much support other aspects of Kosher foods as we favor avoiding pork, eating beef, lamb, not so much goat, chicken and Turkey, and fish. Before all this research we had thought our father's family was from northern Mexico proper. New Mexico had a similar status like Mexico to the Crown of Spain being a separate colony to Spain with a history of being set up twice by Converso.

Thanks for taking the time to research the very complex history of the Ethiopian Jewish people.

It is amazing Beta Israel even survived to the present after all the aggressive attempts to wiping them out, which all failed.

I once asked a 10-year old Eritrean Coptic boy to recite the prayer "the Sign of the Cross" in Ge'ez and I repeated it in Hebrew. Each recognized every word of the other's recital and one word was different: Spirit. In Ge'ez it is ?Aash, or עש, fire while in Hebrew it is Ruach, or רוח, Wind. This suggests the influence of the Greek schools of philosophy of the early Roman Empire who at the time were deciding if a soul existed and if so what was it? בשם האב ובבן וברוח הכדוש

Good job and well researched. In particular, most people don't know that there are Jews in the place called NORTH Showa known as the Bethe Abraham. The Bethe Abrahams are living in places that are hard to reach out in order to create a safe place to survive from the local Christian prosecutions. They (the Bethe Abrahams) even built, worship places that resembles a Church so that the local Christians think they are worshiping Christianity. This is one of the many survival tactics the Ethiopian Jews bear to keep their faith of Judaism.

From ethiopian history the Jews also had their own time of attacking the chrstians too ,

Ron Ben Yishai makes a particularly interesting claim in one of his books about the immigration of Jews in the 1990's and the weapon transfers, at the time he was in Ethiopia covering the war for the news and apparently played an unofficial role in the diplomacy between the 2 states. He says that the decision to launch a covert IDF mass transfer operation was primarily because of the dictators request from Israel to transfer them chemical weapons, which Israel did not have and was not willing to give them regardless.
