Beta Israel: The Jewish Lost Tribe of Dan Resided in Ethiopia For Centuries 
The Beta Israel community, also known as Ethiopian Jews, resided in Ethiopia for centuries. They have a unique religious and cultural identity, combining elements of Judaism with Ethiopian traditions. In the late 20th century, a significant number of Beta Israel members immigrated to Israel under the Law of Return. Genetic studies have suggested a genetic connection between the Beta Israel and other Jewish populations. The Beta Israel, also known as Ethiopian Jews, are considered one of the oldest Diaspora Jewish communities. The Bible references Jews in Ethiopia, particularly in the region known as Cush. The prophet Isaiah mentions Jews who were exiled to various lands, including Cush. Additionally, the story of Eldad ha-Dani in the 9th century gained attention, stating that the tribe of Dan migrated to Cush instead of participating in the conflict between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
