Partner in prayer for the Rendille​

Population: 60,000
Location and Background: The Rendille live in the Kaisut Desert east of Lake Turkana, as semi-nomadic pastoralists. There are two distinctive groups: the northern Rendille, who herd camels, and the southern Rendille who herd cattle as well, and are related to the Samburu with whom they intermarry—Ariaal Rendille live closer to main roads and have more contact with the outside world.
History: The Rendille are Eastern Cushitic peoples who migrated from the Suez Canal and Ethiopia, moving south to escape rivalry and conflicts over grazing land and water for livestock. Their oral history claims they are of Jewish descent and their Passover-type ceremony called Sorio (“sacrifice to God”) includes the slaughtering of a sheep by the first-born son and putting the blood on their doorposts.
Culture: The camel is their essential animal, and the development of boreholes has allowed them a less nomadic lifestyle. They live in “manyattas” or homesteads of 70-100 houses, and they dress in bright colors and wear beads. The men undergo various rites of passage to bring them into adulthood; young girls are often spoken for at an early age and marry very young. There is a place in every village called “nahapo”. This is a place of watching and prayer with a fire burning that is never to go out. Every night the men of the village meet there at 8:00pm and one man is designated to lead them in prayer.
Religion: The Rendille live between the Muslims to the north and Christians to the south. They rejected Islam since Rendille believe prayer should be made with their faces toward the heavens, not on the ground. They practice a traditional, animistic religion which includes prayer to the moon (which is considered a god), animal sacrifices and worship of ancestral spirits. They also have traditional religious practices that resemble those of Judaism. The name of their god is Wakh. The moon plays an important part in their religion. On the night of the new moon the first-born son of each family blows a horn with an accompanying prayer ritual


I watched a video on Somali Corner and the Rendille girl mentioned they travelled down from the Suez Canal and through Ethiopia to the current Lake Turkana area, where we also have our ancestral origins, she talks about how we split off from each other due to grazing land disputes, myths usually contain some hidden truths, what are the chances that we reach this area around 3,500 years ago and is also roughly the age of Judaism.

That's probably ocular albinism since blue eyes aren't really blue, the sky is blue due to tiny air molecules called Raleigh scattering, which increases as the wavelengths of light decrease, blue light has the shortest length, more than red therefore it scattered more and the sky looks blue throughout the day, something similar happens to eyes.

They are Waaq worshipping Somaloids who took some practices & admixture from the Samburu. There’s nothing Jewish about the Rendille

Those are some random bantus in Tanzania or smth. Nothing to do with Jews

I know that, just wanted to share this snipbit, it's just their origin story seems weird and out of place, we know of Jewish peoples in the horn but most of them have come across via Yemen.
