somewhere in Africa region who speak hebrew and worship just like Jewish people do and have been for generations? I saw it on either the discovery channel or the history channel. They said it may be one of the lost tribes of Isreal. I would appreciate input if you have heard of this or if you have seen this program on TV. thanks.

They were from Ethiopia.
Some say that they were brought Judaism from the Queen of Sheba, after she returned from King Solomon.
There is a whole conspiracy theory about them having the Ark of the Covenant.

They are the Etheopian jews and to date only 1 sect of judism have actually accepted them and invited them to come home.
