People have said to me hundreds of times, I didn't know there were any black Jews. I say look in the Bible, we were there and he left a remnant. My mom and dad raised me with my Hebrew roots and I'd wish they'd realize how much they've been deceived and there jaw woukd be further on the floor. I just keep my head up, study my Bible and Hebrew and keep the High Holy days as our Father wants. Baruch haShem Audra HI,

In Israel there are 110,000 Ethiopian Jews, Orthodox American Jews of color, Lemba Jews from South Africa, etc. There are Jews in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, descendents of Jews who identify with their origins in Timbuktu, Sierra Leone, etc. Yafat Khoto the actor is a born Jew of Cameroon extraction. Many Morrocan Jews are of Berber extraction and there are some remaing Jewish Berbers. The Northern half of Ethiopia was Jewish under Queen Yudit, Yemen had a Jewisj king at one point, the City of Medina, known as Al Yatrib in biblical times was predominantly Jewish (Khyber Oasis).... Not to mention the B'nei Menaahas of India/Burma, the B'nei Israel and Cochin Jews of India, etc. When the Messhiac comes, the Jews of the world will wake up- all colors and races and the world will realize that there are not just 13 million Jews, but maybe 130 million.
