I've always wondered about this, and finally decided to ask it. In the world of Rastafarianism, what IS the connection of it to things I normally hear associated with Judiasm??? In the songs, I hear references to "Zion," "Babylon" and other things that appear to be centered in Jerusalem. One person told me that it has to do with Haile Selassie, who she said was Jewish???!!! Is Selassie at the root of this, from Ethopia?? I supposed that I need to take a "comparative religion" course. I grew up in a non-religious (but highly moral & ethical) household, so I am at a disadvantage in understanding all this. Can anyone shed light on this for me, please? Thank you, in advance!
