Although traditionally, the term "Ethiopian Jews" was used as an all-encompassing term referring to the Jews descended from the Jewish communities of Ethiopia, due to the melting pot effect of Israeli society, the term "Ethiopian Jews" has gradually become more vague as many of the Israeli descendants of Beta Israel immigrants adopt the characteristics of Israeli culture and intermarry with descendants of other Jewish communities.
