Israelites in the area of Raya

history of ethiopian jewish people

Beta Israel lived in northern and northwestern Ethiopia, in more than 500 small villages spread over a wide territory, alongside populations that were Muslim and predominantly Christian Most of them were concentrated mainly on what are today, North Gonder Zone , Shire Ende Slassie , Wolqayit, Tselemt , Dembia, Segelt, Quara, and Belesa. They practiced a form of Judaism that differs in some respects from Rabbinic judaism . In Israel, this form of Judaism is referred to as Haymanot . Beta Israel appear to have been isolated from mainstream Jewish communities for at least a millennium. They suffered religious persecution and a significant portion of the community were forced into Christianity during the 19th and 20th centuries; those converted to Christianity came to be known as the Felash Mura . The larger Bete Abrham Christian community is also considered to have historical links to the Beta Israel.
