We do not often talk about the spread of Judaism in Africa, but this week we focus on Judaism that looks different from European Judaism. Prof. Sar Masehyahu Isra-Ul helps us untangle some terms while broadening our view on who represents a lived Jewish experience.
What is the difference between Black Hebrew Israelites and Black Jews? What about African Hebrews or Hebrew Israelites? Plus, there are several titles that are more regional in Africa that describe local Jews.
