  • A jew is a jew.

    All jews rock.

    Period.

  • I hope the EThiopian Jews base their culture and religion on their own and not the Ashkenazi or Sephardic Jewish traditions...

  • The South African tribe you speak of is the Lemba and they most likely came from Yeman and migrated to Africa many years ago, possibly leaving Israel for Yeman before the destruction of the first Temple.

  • @EthiopianNews Ge'ez does not come from babylon but was spoken before the tower of babel incident

  • @prince2lazik actually its not amharic its ancient Ge'ez one of the oldest semitic languages only used by the jewish ethiopians and the orthodox christians of ethiopia and eritrea

  • Thanks for your insights! I will say it again for those who chose to read through it. ETHIOPIAN JEWS LOOK THE SAME WAY AS THEY DID DOING THE BIBLE DAYS. THOSE JEWS WHO WENT TO EUROPE CAME BACK LOOKING LIKE EUROPEANS. There is another set of black Jews in South Africa; they are from the tribe of Levi. This is the preistly tribe. When a White Professor from South Africa went to DISPROVE them, the results were proven through DNA that they were more Jewish than anyone in Israel.

  • @articzoo

    sigd just means pillgrammage so,... I guess it means any holiday involving travel in large groups.

  • @metalic...

    It's not hebrew it's amharic, one (of many) ethiopian languages... the main one though...

  • Geez is older than hebrew and aramaic,and comes from Ur (Ancient Babylon)

  • i have no idea what hes saying .. is it in hebrew? the only thing i understand is the word Amen :)

    but its beautiful to watch. It warms my heart to see our jewish brothers back in the homeland

    Am Israel Chai

  • im waiting for my people to return home.... i love all my brothers and sisters..... love you... i might not pratice but i keep the tridition....... love ...love ..love... god does and will always bless... i love you all .... god is and will always be in our hearts... i miss you.... i pray god will allow you to return when his will is done.... let god keep the light upon you and never let your heart turn harder than stone or black as sackcloth.... keep the light... love you all... god bless

  • As far as I know Geez is an ancient precursor to Amharic.
