“Descendants of the lost Israelite tribe of Dan, according to Jewish lore, Ethiopian Jews spent millennia isolated from the rest of the Jewish world. In most Jewish communities, the priesthood of the Bible was replaced by rabbis who emphasized text study and prayer. Ethiopia’s Jewish kessoch continued the traditions of Biblical-era priests, sacrificing animals and collecting the first fruits of the harvest. “

anyone have any perspective on this to offer?

I visited Israel in 1991, and remember admiring Israel for airlifting them in.

Comments?

I was watching a show about the Judaic Christians of Ethiopia the other day. They’re Christan but hold firmly to a lot of Jewish traditions and rites.

I have been under the impression that the tribe of Dan went to Europe and became Germany and Gaul.

Are the kessoch really Jews? Or are the Mormonophobes reacting harshly to protect their own narrowly held views?
