Synopsis "An Israelite Perspective on Race and Color: Concerning Kush, Kushite, Black and Black Skin with Commentary. (in English)"
This work is a unique view of the history of race or color among the Jewish people. The following work is a short view of excerpts from the Torah, Gemara, Mishnah, Mishneh, and Zohar. We the Israelites of antiquity, are responding to negative connotations attributed to the Jewish view of race and colorism. It is a common belief that black and Kushites are seen in a negative light based solely on the color of one's skin. With Hashem's assistance, we seek to disband this belief and share the beauty of the Jewish tradition on this important topic. Judaism is replete with references to black, Black skin, Kushi, Kushite, and negative expressions based solely upon the color of one's skin. However, when we look into both the Written Torah and Oral Torah with an unbiased view a different reality becomes clear. Are we discussing race or character? We, Israelites conclude no. As the reader navigates this short work, the intention of black and Kushites is not based upon race but deeds.
