Being Black Jews Without Dividing Loyalties

The killing of a Jamaican-born convert to Judaism has drawn some attention to the rare mix of race and religion.

There was a wave of Ethiopians that was very exciting for the racial purity types in Israel. There is a group in South Africa That claim Hebrew heritage and carry the genetic markers. I have not heard of the Israeli reaction to that. If you want to get antique, the Queen of Sheba is reported to have been black.

Interesting question on these grounds: Where did the Hebrews come from when they arrived in Egypt? They were not Egyptians.
