Beta Israel
The Ethiopian Jewish community has often been referred to as "Beta Israel" or "house of Israel" and underwent two large aliyah under Operation Moses and Operation Solomon facilitated by the Israeli government and IDF to move them from a tumultuous situation in Ethiopia.

The issue of bringing Ethiopian Jews to Israel under the right of return was highly contested by rabbinic officials and subsequently researched by many scholars as and after the two airlift operations.
