Haymanot
Haymanot (Ge'ez: ሃይማኖት; Hebrew: דָּת, romanized: dat, lit.'religion') is the branch of Judaism practiced by the Beta Israel, or EthiopianJews.
In Geʽez, Tigrinya and Amharic, Haymanot means 'religion' or 'faith'. Thus in modern Amharic and Tigrinya, it is common to speak of the Christianhaymanot, the Jewish haymanot or the Muslimhaymanot. In Israel, the term is only associated with Judaism.
