re: #15 Destro
Again I was correcting the assertion that the Ethiopian “Beta Israel” Jews were “returning home”.
You shouldn’t put text in quotes that isn’t a verbatim citation. SFZ never said “returning,” she said “bring ‘em home.” I get the idea that she’d say the same about southeast asian converts to reform judaism if they were being persecuted and wanted to emigrate, and she’d be right. Home is where the heart is, and insisting that the term must always refer to one’s racial/ancestral homeland strikes me as some incredibly pedantic bullshit.
