Common card · No. 243300

Haymanot (Ge'ez: ሃይማኖት; Hebrew: דָּת, romanized: dat, lit. 'religion') is the branch of Judaism practiced by the Beta Israel, or Ethiopian Jews. In Geʽez, Tigrinya and Amharic, Haymanot means 'religion' or 'faith'. Thus in modern Amharic and Tigrinya, it is common to speak of the Christian haymanot, the Jewish haymanot or the Muslim haymanot. In Israel, the term is only associated with Judaism.
