The falaasha Jews are and old sect but not the oldest by far. The Hemrophelidite Jews are actually the oldest considering that they started the religion from smoking what is now known today as opium. The hallucinations that they experince made them actually belive that there was a Jewish god and that he was telling them what to do and all of that fun stuff. Even though the hemrophelidites had nothing to do with the tora or of the Jewish synagoge they were still the first to actually belive and worship the Jewish god.

Most of the Black Jews are Ethiopian Jews and are considered their own sect of Judaism in terms of ethnicity (as opposed to being Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, or Sabra). In terms of religiosity, they are usually seen as Orthodox Jews.Of course, there are also Black Jews who are the descendants of recent converts (within the last 200 years) who would be properly assigned to the ethnic sect of their converters, mostly Ashkenazim. An example of this would be the Abuyadaya in Uganda or several American Black Jews.It is important to note that the Black Israelite Churches are not Black Jews, neither by their own belief nor by other Jews. They are a form of Christianity that asserts that they are the true Chosen People of the Bible and that the Jews are incorrectly seen as the Chosen People of the Bible. As a result, they are not affiliated with any Jewish sect.
