Tzora is located just north of Beit Shemesh (House of the Sun), IL where, in Sefer Shoftim, an anonymous angel of fire prophesied with emphasis that Shimshon would be born to Manoah ben Dan (forefather of African Ethiopian Jewry), warning him face to face that the [formerly barren] mother should refrain from all manifestations of the grapevine, observe the strictest of kashrut, and that, as father, he should dutifully raise his son a Nazirite, from the womb until death.
I wonder if there is a tradition of strict sobriety among Ethiopian Jews. Dreadlocks are common in their kehilot.
