The Beta Israel (House of Israel), who currently number 130,000 citizens within Israel, are a unique Jewish community with a continuous history of Jewish practice in Ethiopia dating prior to the birth of Christ. Their status as Jews has been called into question by many communities within Israel; nevertheless, they have always self-identified as Jewish. Since immigrating to Israel, the Beta Israel find themselves caught between what Uri Ben-Eliezer describes as an older “institutional racism” and a “new racism” he refers to as “everyday” racism.
