Hebrew Israelites Buries Its First Victim of Mideast Violence

The Hebrew Israelites, African-Americans from Chicago who believe they are the true descendants of the biblical tribe of Judah, have buried their first victim of the Mideast violence. Aharon Bn-Ellis 32, who was working as a singer at the party, was shot dead when a Palestinian gunman charged into a Jewish coming-of-age party and opened fire, killing six and wounding dozens. The funeral ceremony, led by five priests dressed in white and sky blue tunics with white crocheted skullcaps, featured a mix of Hebrew psalms and popular music. Although Israel does not accept the polygamous group as Jewish, mourners included the chief rabbi of Dimona, where the group is settled, the mayor, a representative of the Israeli government, and a representative of the U.S. ambassador. One of the priests prayed that the government would accept the Hebrew Israelites, who were granted residency in 1990, 21 years after they first settled, but not citizenship. The community has grown from its original 39 followers of Chicago bus driver Ben Ami to more than 2,000. (AP, 1/20/02, Internet)
