No matter how much you ritualize worship no two people or more will have the same concept of G-d. Our fingerprints are different from each other so are our concepts of a higher power. Impractical zeal of interpretations, similar to a few comments posted here, have caused many divides within the Judaic faiths. We've forgotten G-d see each of us as different, and we all will travel different roads to seek spiritual refinement. Man, always attempting to categorize G-d's path for others?
I'm an American of Ethiopian descent living in Germany and attend synogogue here. My ancestors are mixed between Beta-Israel (Falashas) and Eastern European Ashkenasi Jews. Talk about being stuck in the middle. I'm questioned by those in and outside of my faith, who find it hard to believe I'm matrilineal and patrilineal Hebrew or Jewish, and can't get past their own subliminal visual pre-programming. I've learned to keep my faith as private as I keep my bank account. Divide and conquer us.
The issue is no we don't have to understand just like african american african jews what are you the race card will be very hard to play in the jewish religion as it is an honest religion
It is written that G-D knew Cush before any mention of any one else. The Hebrew Israelite is a product of the relationship between G-D and The Cushite. And the tribe of Judah is the product of the Hebrew Israelite. None of this denotes Race. It's all based on lifestyle based on a relationship between U and G-D, And G-D's mirrored reflection as G-D is alive in U.
These are not Jews, for sure & neither are they Christians, in practice. Yes, man looks at the outer things, as these are,God judges and knows the heart. God, however, did not write, "To the Confused, Unbelieving, Grace killing, Looking Back, Paul Denying, Brothers in Chicago". He did author, however, Abraham believed God, and it was accounted unto him, as righteousness...Before any Law, before and deed. Chose your words, it makes no difference, really. And thank God, Isaiah 43: 25-28.
To the idiots who think this is a Christian congregation you are FOOLS AND HATERS. How dare you think that you can define who or what a Jew is. There is Only One G-d and He begets not nor is He begotten. Beth Shalom Bnai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation has almost a century of history in America. All of you non-believers come see for yourselves. Cowards!!!!
@mariohockey09 I am not saying they are good or bad... they are neither. I am only clarifying that they are "Christian Jews" meaning they believe Christ is the Messiah. As "non Christian" Jews we do not believe Christ is the Messiah. As a Jew and a human I have no problem with these people. Namaste and Shalom.
A book just recently published entitled: Can Anything Good Come From Englewood tells the story of one man and how this faith changed his life. Go to amazon. Shalom.
THEY SHOULD STUDY THE BIBLE AND LEARN FROM THE BIBLE ON HOW TO CONDUCT SERVICES, THEY SHOULD NOT DO WHAT THE WHITE JEWS DO, THEY SHOULD STUDY THE BIBLE TO LEARN HOW TO CONDUCT JEWISH SERVICES I QUESS. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN COVERING YOUR HEAD
THEY SHOULD STUDY THE BIBLE AND LEARN FROM THE BIBLE ON HOW TO CONDUCT SERVICES, THEY SHOULD NOT DO WHAT THE WHITE JEWS DO, THEY SHOULD STUDY THE BIBLE TO LEARN HOW TO CONDUCT JEWISH SERVICES I QUESS.
I'm a descendant and Sephardi Jews and this makes me so happy to see an African-American congregation.....power to you my brothers and sisters........welcome. United we stand :)
1 Corinthians 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head. Anyone care to interpret this parable. I maybe wrong but many times we say we are serving Yahuah but blindly or carelessly continue to break his simple laws. What is your take on so-called Jew covering their heads according to this verse???
This is so inspiring! I have always loved African American religious services. Especially the musical approach. I worked for Reverend Leon Sullivan for many years and loved his preaching, but it was Baptist not Noahide. What you at Beth Shalom have done is wonderful! God Bless you beautiful people all!!
@teresadallen My dear lady, after the exile Jews have been losing Torah so the great sages have decided to write down the interpretations of the Torah in the Mishna and the Talmud so we wouldn't forget what the Torah was referring to as the years passed bye and the generations drifted further away. we needed to record on paper the thoughts and the explanations of the Torah because the generation was dumbing down and soon all understanding of true Torah would be forgotten.
@teresadallen I dont understand your point, the Torah was given to Moses on Mount Sinai to pass on to the Israelites. What happened before is whole different story. What are you trying to say.
@teresadallen The only real true Black Jews according to science is the Lemba Jews living in Africa as per DNA evidence, even the Ethiopians were converts and not real Blood Jews. Judaism is the only true religion that God gave to Moses written in the Torah. Everything else is considered idol worshiping and false. we have been around for over 3000 years, we have seen it all, nothing lasts, only the Torah is still standing.
@teresadallen I know Hebrew very well I am Israeli and I studied Torah. God knew one day after 2000 years of exile that Anti Semites would say that Ashkanazi Jews are fake, so he allowed the discovery of DNA. With DNA it is proven that Ashkenazim, African, Middle Eastern, Sephardi, Mizrachi all have the same Jewish blood, all carry the same Y Chromosome. God made sure that Jews would never doubt there identity in light of the haters and hijackers.
Whats funny about all these blacks who dis white Jews all the time is that all these black Jews had to learn everything from the white Ashkanazi to get started, they had to learn Hebrew, Torah, Talmud, they had to learn the Holidays, the Jewish Calendar, the list goes on and on, they had to learn the rituals, the blessings, the prayers. Now that they started to learn everything from whites they wanna come back and say they are real and whites are fake. What a typical muslims behavior, ungrateful
@DG3744 im a white ashkenzi jew, my family has been Jewish for generations upon generations and i love african/black jews. and believe they are just as Jewish as i am.
There is a problem in america with african nigers, there is also a problem in the world with holoco$t jews reaping bebeifts long after the fact in disguise, both entities of species are detrimental to humanity as a whole ! Every jew is a bad actor , because his acting is devoted to swindeling ,misguiding,diverting, and being preditor of society ! The african niger is just a pawn of his monkee origin , being remade in america as 1964 equal to fuck white women !
@blackisrealites85 dude we get it you hate muslims, and they love you too, just stop typing rubbish lol, if your gonna diss islam think about what your writing..
@devoneh thats the stupidist thing ive ever heard... converts according to torah have a jewish neshama that brings itself back to judaism and therefore is at a higher level than a jewish born neshama.
Before you make statements as the one you made two days ago. It would be an intelligent move to gather all your facts first based off substantiated evidence, then and only then present it to would be listeners. Must we use such language when we are articulating our points such as: (sell out ass niggah)? People will never start to take you seriously if such obsenities are maintained by you. Illiterate? Have you've been to the congregation to observe for youself? Just a thought!!
@williamdjon I used to be a member. as a matter of fact I know from others who speak fluent hebrew that these people for the most part know nothing. this is a cruel hoax. I saw this man (and others) chase away competent young people and replaced them with ignorant niggahs
This sell out ass niggah talking bout support for israel when black people around the world are suffering. This man has sold his soul hoping to get some of that jewish money.
Jews of African descent has been around since the the dawn of the Judaic religion, and has played the key role in its early development. But, we must realize being a Jew has nothing to do with color...Adonai wants are hearts with total committment to him and display loving-compassion for all humanity period...Chill on the hate!!!! Start the love and focus on Adonai!!!!!
I do agree that there are Black Jews (especially in Ethiopia) like there are Sephardi and Mizrachi and Indian but I highly contest that they are the only true B'nei Israel! We all make up Israel!
@brelfan "If the argument is that if Abraham was black, blacks are the real Jews, they are also the real Arabs by interence" that has been realized in Muslim circles in the U.S. for about...hmmm..80 years
You are all children of God by believing in Christ Jesus. All of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ as if he were your clothes. There is no Jew or Greek. There is no slave or free person. There is no male or female. Because you belong to Christ Jesus, You all are one. You who belong to Christ are Abraham's seed. You will receive what God has promised. Galatians 3:26-29
This is really cool! Wow what an amazing Voice! I would like to visit this synagogue but I live to far away. I am white but if I lived in the area, I would like to become a member of your temple. There is a great energy! Have a Happy Passover!
Who cares whose ancestors came from where and what color they were? It's about coming together for fellowship and joy and to do good works in His name. I love the fact that diversity is present and bringing such a fine flavor and music to such an old, respected way of doing things. We should all be working together . As far as I know, none of us is royalty or a descendant of God. We're all His people, so let's stop the infighting and pay no attention to the extremists on either side.
Who cares about their roots and identity? Most people I know! Yes, the usage of the word "true" is dumb. On the other hand, there are those who distort definitions, and no matter how much they'd like to define red as green, it ain't gonna work.
To clarify, I meant why search for the only purpose to crow that only YOUR ancestors are the REAL Jews. Of course, people are interested in their roots. In any case, you and I are on the same page. Shalom.
hashem is not about a skin color.israel was one the first to help haiti.saudi arabia has not sent money or aid,they only know how to castrate,and enslave.who are the real racist,the saudis or the zionist?
This is why black ppl piss me off ( I'm black btw) I don't care who in gods name is more Jewish or more Hebrew or who's the original. Give me the word and the community and keep the crap talk to a minimum-that's what's holding us back. I live in Chicago and I'm thinking about converting but I might go take a more euro approch. I want peace in my life. I have no time for (I'm more Hebrew than u) pissing context. It's not very Jewish if u ask me.
Jelloxox..brother.b4 you go the "euro approach"..ponder this the black woman you are criticising said that for a reason. As a Black Hebrew I personally have had Askenazim call my congregation and family "gentiles" or pagans. As they carry on as if they are the only legitimate jews. Not all are like this Just as all black people (being black you know this) are not as nationalistic as the woman in the video. I encourage you to study under Rabbi Funnye.
@Jelloxox but it isn't crap talk its stating a fact, we are God Chosen people and it has been hidden from us and our heritage taken from us. The truth is the truth! That is a big part of our history!
@Jelloxox These people do not seems like genuine converts. Women do not sing in synagogues. Use of microphones on Sabbath would be completely forbidden. If you convert, convert for real, convert orthodox. Jewish is not about skin color, it's about Jewish soul.
@watcher9214 No, I am not joking. When you will stand before G-d in judgement, He [G-d] will judge you as gentile. Either convert through an orthodox rabbinical court or stop cheating yourself.
@malkiel2 What does happen if God judges someone as gentile? (btw... my mother was jewish, her mother was born jewish in a lithuanian shtetl and we were jewish as far back as anyone knows. And how do you know that some ancestor of yours wasn't a gentile woman who never formally converted?)
@watcher9214 FYI, YOU ARE HALACHICALLY JEWISH. It goes thru the mother. If someone is a gentile, nothing is wrong with that. However, if one is acting Jewish but is not one, then he or she is cheating themselves since they will not receive reward for it. All my ancestresses were Jewesses. G-d is watching over Jewish people. Shalom.
- What is the "reward" one receives by God for being Jewish?
- How do you or I or anyone really know for sure that there was not a non-halachic conversion in our families 30 generations ago? Maybe you should do an orthodox conversion just to be sure.
Jewish reward is being with G-d, within G-d's Light. Gentiles do get reward but it doesn't even start to compare since they only follow 7 commandmends. We follow 613 and reward is also higher.
The person descending from a non-halachic conversion will not have love for Torah and if he does, he will know of the invalid conversion and will reconvert. A son of a non-halachically converted woman basically will be like these people at this "synagogue" singing with women into a microphone on Shabbat.
@watcher9214 G-d is watching over the Nation of Israel means not only judging our deeds but also making sure that all jews are "halachic", that no mamzerim transmit their status to the future generations, etc. G-d is like a faithful Shepherd watching over His flock, making sure it is all kosher. That's why no orthodox Beit Din will ever marry a non-halachic jew or a known mamzer. Torah is not a joke. For every sin, there's payment that eventually comes due.
- What is the "reward" one receives by God for being Jewish?

i happen to believe that all blacks with hair like wool are hebrew, God will sort all this stuff out, whos jewish whos not, we need to just be who we are and not try to jjudge who is hebrew and who is not. let GOD DECIDE we are in the new testament anyway.
@Jelloxox YES, i am so sick of various ppl of african descent arguing that the "true jews" are african. if you look at israel today, the faces of those who felt so compelled (many risking their lives) to make aliyah are of every shade of skin color. those who are still in exile can be found in all corners of the earth. those who assert that "true jews" are only one color makes me very skeptical of them.
look in the bible, in the bible not a blood test from the white jew, look in the bible it will tell the world who the jews are. i have no judgement on the ones in israel, that's GOD'S business, he will judge. white people know that blacks are the real jews, latino's are not jews, why do some blacks keep saying they are. most blacks don't know nothing about being jewish, they have to learn study and read.
Everything you said was idioic and backwards. Have fun kissing the white man ass and probably still won't get anywhere in life as long as there is a white man working next to you. Think about that.
Since G-d called Abraham, He has been refining and purifying a people for Himself. Countless examples in history and scripture attest to this and that mere genetic heritage cannot be the basis for a relationship with or being ultimately chosen by Him.
Well who cares actually who is more "originally Jewish". jewish is a person after conversion, and actually when he or she believes in G-d the way the Tora prescribe. How many ethnically diversive people found their way back or forth to G-ds Covenant, as it was said in the video.
Yet i wonder... why in G-ds name, if you claim to be so Jewish, why don't you observe the Halacha and don't consider the Talmud as it should be?... For example only men as minyan members...?...
As a morroccan jew, whos family has been living in north africa as jews for over for nearly 2000 years. I am glad to see this video and deeply touched...
Listen, even if there were no Torah references at all (Believe me, there are plenty of them) attesting to the presence of blacks amongst ancient Jewish people, the existence of Falasha (Ethiopean) Jews is an unquestionable proof of the Hebrew heritage of the Black community. Brothers, do not wait for the approval of the establishment! Go ahead, and reclaim the heritage that is rightly yours! Follow the steps of Rav Funnye & your Beth Shalom Synagogue. Shalom & Strength to you all.
At the same time, you need a theory, right, about why most of the Arabs are Caucasion? You have the Khzar's for the Jews. All the people who've considered themselves Jewish in Europe were Turks. How about the Arabs? Got a plan? They're white. At least, they think so. You might not. A Skin Head might not. Arabs think they're white, and they generally fit the Caucasion description.How come? You must have a good explanation. Why don't you take to Egypt and explain it to the shoppers?
thats,,first let me say im hebrew israelite,,,my way of life is islam,,,bacause i believe that the,,israelite prophets told of muhammed who would bring yah law back to purity and give an extension on it see isiaah 42,,as for the arabs,,,,they hav ever been mixing with theeuropeansn,,and thirdly the arab egyptians are not the native egyptians,,if you go to egypt/kemet/ham/misr,,and visit the native egyptians ,,you will see they they are dark brown to black skinned
You pick on Jews because they're easy pickings. They watch your sort in the street of New York and pass by. The most you get is an argument of words, and if you had a brain, you'd lose. But you don't. You can't win an argument with a people who can't follow or present coherent thoughts. The dilemma of Jews is that they're easy pickings for idiots, pscyhopaths, racists and angered masses. And you know who you ARE? Know where you fit in these descriptions?
not all hebrew israelites ignorant,,listen, an educated jew and an educated hebrew israelite.if they debated with facts the jew would lose,,,,because of historical data,,and majority of jews are white,,,,,you really think these were the people in egypt in the time of mose,,?and the walls of ancient egypt show that egyptians and israelites both being dark brown to black skinned? that little piece of info i gave you is not even scraching the surface of the subject
If the argument is that if Abraham was black, blacks are the real Jews, they are also the real Arabs by interence. They're both descendants of Abraham. Why don't the Israelites call themselves Arabs? Why don't they hang out in groups on the streets of Bagdad behind poles with the cresent moon on top and tell the inhabitants that they're not real Arabs, they're Satan. They have hook noses, and they deserve the American invasion like the Jews deserved the holocaust? Sadam was an instrument of God?
@brelfan "If the argument is that if Abraham was black, blacks are the real Jews, they are also the real Arabs by interence" that has been realized in Muslim circles in the U.S. for about...hmmm..80 years
The poster here are clearly full of hatred for the Jewish people. At the same time envious. The argument that descent and race are the same is false. Descent means you come from a similar ancestor. Race is a group of recessive or dominant genes that change from area to area. The Jews and Arabs agree their DESCENT is the same. Who are you? All you demonstrate is you're one more type of ignorant, hater. If you told an Arab he wasn't Arab, you were, and he was Satan, you'd expect an ass whipping.
These people are not Jewish, rather they call themselves "Israelites". They made their own religion less than a century ago, that is based on Judaism!
As a Jew by birth from eastern European decent, I find that the thought of color absolutely irrelevant to our religion. I welcome the thought of diversity among our people. Let's stop the arguments about who are the real Jews. Let's embrace our common beliefs and come together.
Is this a Jewish Synagogue or a Israelite Community, also what are the demographics of this congregation, are there Africans, Asians, Whites etc. How many African American Synagogues are they in the United States.
You can't except that if your stance is... we're the true Jews (even though your relationship is merely through black skin), and all those who practiced Judaism in their families for hundred and thousands of years are Khzars and Ha Satan, aned that they Jews will perish, that you'll get acceptance. You wouldn't go to Catholics and say... hey, you aren't Catholics but we are because our skin is black. Would you? I believe you people are essentially one more form of antisemite.
DNA studies shows that jewish all around d world r connected - we r the chosen ppl n all the rest r EVIL CREATURES that want 2 destroy us according 2 the bible - the romans, the germans n now the arabians - b carfall of GOD'S HAND
Shalom(peace to all),Study The Old Testament(especially first five books) ONLY!Deut 6:4 and Joshua 1:7-9 is ALL you need to have a long and prosperous life.The Most High is ONE.and HE ALONE is our ONLY Saviour,descendants of Yaacov(Jacob) or so called "black people".calling on the name of "j.c" takes you further away from Our Creator,who also created the Heavens and the earth with everything in them.There is no such person as "satan"..as a Proof,read deut 32:39.
It is no more illogical than white Germans, Poles and Russians whom according to Ashkenazic authors Koestler and more recently Sandler prove that white jews are of Khazak ancestry...that later converted to Judaism.(without undergoing a convesion process/and in the case of the Russians..knew NO HEBREW)...
That is true however they were Scithians which were one of the Hebrew warrier groups under Saul that later fell into idolotry. Their conversion to Judiasim was done to return them to the fold, not to coopt them into it. You have to go back further in history than the story you are presenting because the story starts much earlier.
Don't tell me you guys are believing stories passed on by those who believed the earth was flat? Those in Nigeria believing they are Jews are as stupid as their Afro American folks believing the lie too. Even Solomon the supposed wisest man converted from this monotheism shit. There is no chosen one. How stupid must your "God" be to have a chosen one? Also all you motherfuckers are avoiding that 144k theory written is your lying book. Islam, Judaism, Christianity, all fake.
Michelle Obamas cousin is Rabbi Capers C. Funnye, spiritual leader of a mostly black synagogue on Chicago's South Side. Funnye's mother, Verdelle Robinson Funnye (born Verdelle Robinson) and Michelle Obama's paternal grandfather, Frasier Robinson Jr., were brother and sister.
Funnye is chief rabbi at the Beth Shalom B'nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation. He also serves on the Chicago Board of Rabbis.
wow. just because quenn sheba made a baby with solomon doesnt mean that were jewish. I respect the bible my dad broke the line of six priest in his fam. I am not as educated as these rabbi but man i am telling you hebrew was never the dominant religon. i get really mad when people classify ethiopians we tell em who we are and people still say were arab or jewish just stop please. they had "cities of the underworld" the host kept saying jewish.The guide told him stop we are christian.
Becuz I live in a region over time do not make me native to the land nor does a Euro man living in Japan no matter how long he lives there make him Japanese. Alexander from Macedonia & his army transversed the continents marrying & begetting children. Did this make the children he & his army fathered Macedonian? Europeans travelled to then colonized the African continent for millennia at the expense of indigenous grps of the land and this does not make them native to it.
"Jewish" but descend from one of Jacob's son Yehudah/Judah. Torah H.I. disavow Tulmudic Rabbinic authority or the authenticity of Euro Khazarian (Ashkenazim). This Black Rabbi's aim is to meld unlearned H.I. into mainstream Judaism. He was once a minister until he met those teaching the true history of Hebraic culture. This minister ran with it. Read Michael Bradley's book, Chosen People of the Caucasus and also read and contemplate Psalm 119 and Psalm 83
The majority of ethiopians if not all are jewish is absurd. I am Ethiopian and italian. I have been around a countless number of ethiopians and have never came across a so called jewish ethiopian. On the other hand, I know for a fact that ethiopia has the second oldest form of christianity in the world behind albania. Also, muslim religon now is almost spilt 50/50 with christianty as the two most common beliefs. I think jewish ethiopians make up a small percent less than 5% of 80million.
Dude Abraham was born in Ur, Chaldea (Shinar); according to Genesis 10:10 Chaldea (Shinar) was land of Nimrod a son of Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan); Genesis 15:18 said Abraham would inherit the lands from the river Egypt (Nile) which is Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Uganda all the way to the Euphrates which is Arabia, Iraq, and Syria; Genesis 38:1-5, 46:10, 46:20 Says that Judah, Joseph and Simeon married Egyptian/Canaanite women and according to Genesis 10:6 Egyptian/Canaanites big brother is Ethiopia.
sorry charlie, archaeology will show you that the semetic peoples were indeed white , with white features. Even the Egyptian Rameses was a Semetic, The area of Egypt that we know in the Bible was overrun by the Hyksos , who controlled and settled Egypt with their own Semetic people. Egypt bordered what was then called Ethiopia, whic also today would have included much of Sudan. Regardless We are all brothers , and we can all worship together as one people
Sorry Charlie this is a lie, because according to the Bible Moses a Israelite when his sister in law Miriam rejected him when he married an Ethiopian was turn into a leper; plus Moses himself was mistaken for an Egyptian and according to Genesis 10:6 the Egyptians big brother is Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan); Isaiah 11:11 and Zephaniah 3:10 says that YHWH would bring the scattered Israelites from throughout Africa.
and Gihon for your information the Gihon in Genesis a River , The Gihon in Kings is near Jerusalem, King Solomon was annointed there to a great ceremony with Trumpets, Please read up before commenting.....
there is no use arguing with you, you want to believe what you want to and that's ok. However archaeology will show that the Jews were in fact a white people. King David's decendants who I know of a few personally , are White , I am a descendant of Moses and I'm White. But it is cool if you want to believe other. Free world .........
any time. DNA ? Hey I'm a Levite and my DNA and the Kohaneem are similar. Ethiopia ? where did that come from ?? next you may say that the American Indian is the real Edomites....
Well according to the Bible Abraham was born in Ur, Chaldea (Shinar) and according to Genesis 10:10 Chaldea (Shinar) was land of Nimrod who was a son of Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan); so in essence Abraham was born in the land of Ham or so called Africa; also Abraham in Genesis 15:18 would inherit the same lands in Genesis 2:11-14 which were lands of Ham or so called Africa, but me I call it ancient Ethiopia. Hummm! Phinehas a grandson of Aaron the Levite name in Egyptian means 'the negro'.
how do you know that your a levite....you might need to study proper hebrew...ancient hebrew....the langauge itself tells old....the langauge is an afro-asiatic langauage meaning derived from africa and found spoken in asia minor...
king davids decendants was not white and if you look at the archaeology that they are discovering....from their own mouth they are saying that the hebrews were of negroid....plus see what the scriptures say for them self....job 30:30, songs of solomon 1:1-6, lamentations 4:8 act 21:37-38
Ezra 9:1 in this scripture the majority of the pagan nations Israel intermixed with were Hamitic Ethiopians; Zephaniah 1:1 says the prophets name is Cushi (Ethiopian); 1 Kings 1:32-45 says that King David told Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet to anoint Solomon king in Gihon; when you refer back to Genesis 2:13 Gihon is located in Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan), so this debunks your comment.
sorry to inform you gihon is in the land of Israel , and like I said everyone knows that Egypt was conquered by the Hyksos who were Semetic people, and also brought their language with them, When Moses said he was an Egyptian , he grew up in the Royal Palace , probably dressed like an Egyptian , But remember at that time the Egyptian's were ruled by an invaders, which lasted a very long time. Also Egypt is not Cush ! ,
I like dumb dumbs like you who deny the truth; Abraham was born in Ur, Chaldea (Shinar) and according to Genesis 10:10 Chaldea (Shinar) was land of Nimrod a son of Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan), so here youhave Abraham born in the land of an Ethiopian; Genesis 25:2 says Abraham had a son name Midian who became the father of the people of Midian; according to the book of Exodus the priest of Midian Reuel gave Moses his daughter for a wife and to confer she was Ethiopian read Numbers 12:1.
Now if Midian a son of Abraham offspring are Ethiopian, common sense will teach you he and his father Abraham were Ethiopian; Genesis 38 teaches us that Judah had children by two Canaanite women, and according to Genesis 10:6 Canaan's big brother is Cush (Ethiopia); Genesis 46:10 and 46:20 says that Simeon and Joseph married Canaanite and Egyptian woman, however according to Genesis 10:6 Canaan's and Egypt's big brother is Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan).
Solomon's mother was named BathSheba which means daughter of Sheba; according to Genesis 10:7 Sheba was a son of Ramaah who was a son of Cush (Ethiopia); people will say she was a Hittite (Heth) like here husband Uriah, regardless according to Genesis 10:15 the Hittites (Heth) were children of Canaan and according to Genesis 10:6 Canaan's big brother is Cush (Ethiopia); Zephaniah 1:1 says the prophets father was named Cushi (Ethiopia); hum Children of Israel love Ethiopians because they are too!
Genesis 15:18 says that Abraham would inherit the lands from the river Egypt (Nile) which is Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Uganda all the way the river Euphrates in Iraq/Syria; these lands are the same lands in Genesis 2:11-14 which is the Garden of Eden aka ancient Ethiopia aka the birthplace of mankind; Moses married an Ethiopian; the name Phinehas the grandson of Aaron the priest and one of the sons of Eli the prophet name in old Egyptian means 'the negro' or 'the black'; hahahaha

It is written that G-D knew Cush before any mention of any one else. The Hebrew Israelite is a product of the relationship between G-D and The Cushite. And the tribe of Judah is the product of the Hebrew Israelite. None of this denotes Race. It's all based on lifestyle based on a relationship between U and G-D, And G-D's mirrored reflection as G-D is alive in U.

These are not Jews, for sure & neither are they Christians, in practice. Yes, man looks at the outer things, as these are,God judges and knows the heart. God, however, did not write, "To the Confused, Unbelieving, Grace killing, Looking Back, Paul Denying, Brothers in Chicago". He did author, however, Abraham believed God, and it was accounted unto him, as righteousness...Before any Law, before and deed. Chose your words, it makes no difference, really. And thank God, Isaiah 43: 25-28.

@teresadallen My dear lady, after the exile Jews have been losing Torah so the great sages have decided to write down the interpretations of the Torah in the Mishna and the Talmud so we wouldn't forget what the Torah was referring to as the years passed bye and the generations drifted further away. we needed to record on paper the thoughts and the explanations of the Torah because the generation was dumbing down and soon all understanding of true Torah would be forgotten.

@teresadallen I dont understand your point, the Torah was given to Moses on Mount Sinai to pass on to the Israelites. What happened before is whole different story. What are you trying to say.
ZionIDF 10 months ago
@teresadallen The only real true Black Jews according to science is the Lemba Jews living in Africa as per DNA evidence, even the Ethiopians were converts and not real Blood Jews. Judaism is the only true religion that God gave to Moses written in the Torah. Everything else is considered idol worshiping and false. we have been around for over 3000 years, we have seen it all, nothing lasts, only the Torah is still standing.
ZionIDF 10 months ago
@teresadallen I know Hebrew very well I am Israeli and I studied Torah. God knew one day after 2000 years of exile that Anti Semites would say that Ashkanazi Jews are fake, so he allowed the discovery of DNA. With DNA it is proven that Ashkenazim, African, Middle Eastern, Sephardi, Mizrachi all have the same Jewish blood, all carry the same Y Chromosome. God made sure that Jews would never doubt there identity in light of the haters and hijackers.

watcher9214 1 year ago
@watcher9214 FYI, YOU ARE HALACHICALLY JEWISH. It goes thru the mother. If someone is a gentile, nothing is wrong with that. However, if one is acting Jewish but is not one, then he or she is cheating themselves since they will not receive reward for it. All my ancestresses were Jewesses. G-d is watching over Jewish people. Shalom.
malkiel2 1 year ago

But seriously, please answer these two questions:
- What is the "reward" one receives by God for being Jewish?
- How do you or I or anyone really know for sure that there was not a non-halachic conversion in our families 30 generations ago? Maybe you should do an orthodox conversion just to be sure.
watcher9214 1 year ago
Jewish reward is being with G-d, within G-d's Light. Gentiles do get reward but it doesn't even start to compare since they only follow 7 commandmends. We follow 613 and reward is also higher.
The person descending from a non-halachic conversion will not have love for Torah and if he does, he will know of the invalid conversion and will reconvert. A son of a non-halachically converted woman basically will be like these people at this "synagogue" singing with women into a microphone on Shabbat.
malkiel2 1 year ago
@watcher9214 G-d is watching over the Nation of Israel means not only judging our deeds but also making sure that all jews are "halachic", that no mamzerim transmit their status to the future generations, etc. G-d is like a faithful Shepherd watching over His flock, making sure it is all kosher. That's why no orthodox Beit Din will ever marry a non-halachic jew or a known mamzer. Torah is not a joke. For every sin, there's payment that eventually comes due.

The poster here are clearly full of hatred for the Jewish people. At the same time envious. The argument that descent and race are the same is false. Descent means you come from a similar ancestor. Race is a group of recessive or dominant genes that change from area to area. The Jews and Arabs agree their DESCENT is the same. Who are you? All you demonstrate is you're one more type of ignorant, hater. If you told an Arab he wasn't Arab, you were, and he was Satan, you'd expect an ass whipping.

You can't except that if your stance is... we're the true Jews (even though your relationship is merely through black skin), and all those who practiced Judaism in their families for hundred and thousands of years are Khzars and Ha Satan, aned that they Jews will perish, that you'll get acceptance.

It is no more illogical than white Germans, Poles and Russians whom according to Ashkenazic authors Koestler and more recently Sandler prove that white jews are of Khazak ancestry...that later converted to Judaism.(without undergoing a convesion process/and in the case of the Russians..knew NO HEBREW)...

That is true however they were Scithians which were one of the Hebrew warrier groups under Saul that later fell into idolotry. Their conversion to Judiasim was done to return them to the fold, not to coopt them into it. You have to go back further in history than the story you are presenting because the story starts much earlier.

Don't tell me you guys are believing stories passed on by those who believed the earth was flat? Those in Nigeria believing they are Jews are as stupid as their Afro American folks believing the lie too. Even Solomon the supposed wisest man converted from this monotheism shit. There is no chosen one. How stupid must your "God" be to have a chosen one? Also all you motherfuckers are avoiding that 144k theory written is your lying book. Islam, Judaism, Christianity, all fake.

Becuz I live in a region over time do not make me native to the land nor does a Euro man living in Japan no matter how long he lives there make him Japanese. Alexander from Macedonia & his army transversed the continents marrying & begetting children. Did this make the children he & his army fathered Macedonian? Europeans travelled to then colonized the African continent for millennia at the expense of indigenous grps of the land and this does not make them native to it.

Most H.I. don't believe they r
"Jewish" but descend from one of Jacob's son Yehudah/Judah. Torah H.I. disavow Tulmudic Rabbinic authority or the authenticity of Euro Khazarian (Ashkenazim). This Black Rabbi's aim is to meld unlearned H.I. into mainstream Judaism. He was once a minister until he met those teaching the true history of Hebraic culture. This minister ran with it. Read Michael Bradley's book, Chosen People of the Caucasus and also read and contemplate Psalm 119 and Psalm 83

The majority of ethiopians if not all are jewish is absurd. I am Ethiopian and italian. I have been around a countless number of ethiopians and have never came across a so called jewish ethiopian. On the other hand, I know for a fact that ethiopia has the second oldest form of christianity in the world behind albania. Also, muslim religon now is almost spilt 50/50 with christianty as the two most common beliefs. I think jewish ethiopians make up a small percent less than 5% of 80million.

Dude Abraham was born in Ur, Chaldea (Shinar); according to Genesis 10:10 Chaldea (Shinar) was land of Nimrod a son of Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan); Genesis 15:18 said Abraham would inherit the lands from the river Egypt (Nile) which is Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Uganda all the way to the Euphrates which is Arabia, Iraq, and Syria; Genesis 38:1-5, 46:10, 46:20 Says that Judah, Joseph and Simeon married Egyptian/Canaanite women and according to Genesis 10:6 Egyptian/Canaanites big brother is Ethiopia.

sorry charlie, archaeology will show you that the semetic peoples were indeed white , with white features. Even the Egyptian Rameses was a Semetic, The area of Egypt that we know in the Bible was overrun by the Hyksos , who controlled and settled Egypt with their own Semetic people. Egypt bordered what was then called Ethiopia, whic also today would have included much of Sudan. Regardless We are all brothers , and we can all worship together as one people

Sorry Charlie this is a lie, because according to the Bible Moses a Israelite when his sister in law Miriam rejected him when he married an Ethiopian was turn into a leper; plus Moses himself was mistaken for an Egyptian and according to Genesis 10:6 the Egyptians big brother is Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan); Isaiah 11:11 and Zephaniah 3:10 says that YHWH would bring the scattered Israelites from throughout Africa.

and Gihon for your information the Gihon in Genesis a River , The Gihon in Kings is near Jerusalem, King Solomon was annointed there to a great ceremony with Trumpets, Please read up before commenting.....

Gihon springs was built in the time of Hezekiah who came AFTER Solomon; so miss me with the BS.

there is no use arguing with you, you want to believe what you want to and that's ok. However archaeology will show that the Jews were in fact a white people. King David's decendants who I know of a few personally , are White , I am a descendant of Moses and I'm White. But it is cool if you want to believe other. Free world .........

yeah I bet. According to the genetics in the Bible they are Ethiopians. Want to debate it?
dnorwood70 2 years ago
any time. DNA ? Hey I'm a Levite and my DNA and the Kohaneem are similar. Ethiopia ? where did that come from ?? next you may say that the American Indian is the real Edomites....

Well according to the Bible Abraham was born in Ur, Chaldea (Shinar) and according to Genesis 10:10 Chaldea (Shinar) was land of Nimrod who was a son of Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan); so in essence Abraham was born in the land of Ham or so called Africa; also Abraham in Genesis 15:18 would inherit the same lands in Genesis 2:11-14 which were lands of Ham or so called Africa, but me I call it ancient Ethiopia. Hummm! Phinehas a grandson of Aaron the Levite name in Egyptian means 'the negro'.

Nahh use the Bible, it was around before DNA. Plus it is the source for Hebrew Israelite roots; ready to loose?

king davids decendants was not white and if you look at the archaeology that they are discovering....from their own mouth they are saying that the hebrews were of negroid....plus see what the scriptures say for them self....job 30:30, songs of solomon 1:1-6, lamentations 4:8 act 21:37-38

Ezra 9:1 in this scripture the majority of the pagan nations Israel intermixed with were Hamitic Ethiopians; Zephaniah 1:1 says the prophets name is Cushi (Ethiopian); 1 Kings 1:32-45 says that King David told Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet to anoint Solomon king in Gihon; when you refer back to Genesis 2:13 Gihon is located in Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan), so this debunks your comment.
dnorwood70 2 years ago
sorry to inform you gihon is in the land of Israel , and like I said everyone knows that Egypt was conquered by the Hyksos who were Semetic people, and also brought their language with them, When Moses said he was an Egyptian , he grew up in the Royal Palace , probably dressed like an Egyptian , But remember at that time the Egyptian's were ruled by an invaders, which lasted a very long time. Also Egypt is not Cush ! ,

I like dumb dumbs like you who deny the truth; Abraham was born in Ur, Chaldea (Shinar) and according to Genesis 10:10 Chaldea (Shinar) was land of Nimrod a son of Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan), so here youhave Abraham born in the land of an Ethiopian; Genesis 25:2 says Abraham had a son name Midian who became the father of the people of Midian; according to the book of Exodus the priest of Midian Reuel gave Moses his daughter for a wife and to confer she was Ethiopian read Numbers 12:1.
dnorwood70 2 years ago
Now if Midian a son of Abraham offspring are Ethiopian, common sense will teach you he and his father Abraham were Ethiopian; Genesis 38 teaches us that Judah had children by two Canaanite women, and according to Genesis 10:6 Canaan's big brother is Cush (Ethiopia); Genesis 46:10 and 46:20 says that Simeon and Joseph married Canaanite and Egyptian woman, however according to Genesis 10:6 Canaan's and Egypt's big brother is Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan).
dnorwood70 2 years ago
Solomon's mother was named BathSheba which means daughter of Sheba; according to Genesis 10:7 Sheba was a son of Ramaah who was a son of Cush (Ethiopia); people will say she was a Hittite (Heth) like here husband Uriah, regardless according to Genesis 10:15 the Hittites (Heth) were children of Canaan and according to Genesis 10:6 Canaan's big brother is Cush (Ethiopia); Zephaniah 1:1 says the prophets father was named Cushi (Ethiopia); hum Children of Israel love Ethiopians because they are too!
dnorwood70 2 years ago
Genesis 15:18 says that Abraham would inherit the lands from the river Egypt (Nile) which is Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Uganda all the way the river Euphrates in Iraq/Syria; these lands are the same lands in Genesis 2:11-14 which is the Garden of Eden aka ancient Ethiopia aka the birthplace of mankind; Moses married an Ethiopian; the name Phinehas the grandson of Aaron the priest and one of the sons of Eli the prophet name in old Egyptian means 'the negro' or 'the black'; hahahaha
