The ethiopians also think the book of enoch is canon. So maybe its fifty-fifty since either they're wrong or we're wrong.

The canon isn't closed…so who knows? Just read it and see

This is an interesting question. Any particularly knowledgeable anons out there able to give us a breakdown on the history of these claims. Have there really been Jews in Ethiopia since the time if the Second Temple?

I remember seeing a documentary about this or something, but the details are hazy. Seem to remember them claiming that everybody who guards it becomes blind and gets cancer.

Extremely doubtful. Ever time they say they'll reaveal it, they conveniently can't because of whatever reason. Also, the Ark is at Mt. Nebo, says it right in the Bible.

I heard an interview to an old ethiopian monk who said something like "Does it really matter? The ark is a sacred artifact but we're under the new covenant"

There are black jews in Ethiopia (falasha) they say they received their faith from the Queen of Sheba.

Around 150000 of them were moved to Israel during the Ethiopian famine in the 80s.

They are one of the oldest sects of Judaism, possibly untamed from rabbinical errors since they were so isolated.

I don't know enough but there is a chance they are closer to the true religion of Moses than other jews.

The Falasha (better known as Beta Israel or simply as Ethiopian Jews) are really interesting. They claim decent from refugees of the Tribe of Dan who escaped the Assyrians and fled to Ethiopia around 722 B.C.

They don't have rabbis but instead they are ruled over by priests who claim Aaronic decent as well as their own monks with their own monasteries. On top of that, their priests still conduct sacrifices such as burnt offerings and sin offerings inside of their synagogues, though I'm not sure how they justify this outside of the Temple.

Like Ethiopian Orthodox Christians they consider works like the Book of Enoch to be canon. They are also untouched by the (((Talmud))) and this has caused some conflict between their communities that live in Israel with the Orthodox Jews who are there.

Surprisingly they are considered Halachic Jews by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. Back in the 80's Israel helped rescue them from Islamic persecution in Africa and brought them to Israel so a lot of them are big Zionists. Some of them have been assimilating into Rabbinic Judaism because of this but others have kept their traditions despite coming into conflict the the Orthodox Jews over them.

Why the winnie the pooh is Ethiopian Judaism and Ethiopian Christianity so different?

Their 2 Maccabees is very different from our 2 Maccabees. It's not even the same book and has 36 chapters total.

"We cannot deny that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, left some divine writings, for this is asserted by the Apostle Jude in his canonical epistle. But it is not without reason that these writings have no place in that canon of Scripture which was preserved in the temple of the Hebrew people by the diligence of successive priests; for their antiquity brought them under suspicion, and it was impossible to ascertain whether these were his genuine writings, and they were not brought forward as genuine by the persons who were found to have carefully preserved the canonical books by a successive transmission. So that the writings which are produced under his name, and which contain these fables about the giants, saying that their fathers were not men, are properly judged by prudent men to be not genuine; just as many writings are produced by heretics under the names both of other prophets, and more recently, under the names of the apostles, all of which, after careful examination, have been set apart from canonical authority under the title of Apocrypha"

- St. Augustine

Because they are deceptive and liars.

>Do the Ethiopians actually have the Ark of the Covenant?

No, according to the Bible in jeremiah 27:21-22

>Yea, thus saith the LORDof hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD,and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

>They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

and hebrews 9:4

>Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

The ark of the covenant's vessel of gold, the golden pot of manna, would have been carried to babylon and remains there until the day the Lord visits them also known as the day of the Lord also known as the book of revelation. If the so called "ethiopians" actually had the ark of the covenant they would unironically be claiming to be the babylon that is destroyed in revelation. Which would be quite foolish of them.
