In the 1920s, contact with two foreign traders expanded their knowledge of Hebrew law and language. Over the years, the Abayudaya faced many challenges, including the outlawing of Judaism and destruction of synagogues under the reign of terror of Idi Amin in the 1970s. Today, the Abayudaya are 600 strong, and continue to observe Shabbat, the festivals and fast days.
