Rabbi Hailu Moshe Paris had a gentle, sweet manner and did so much to advance Hebrew Israelite culture and community. I was fortunate to meet him. His help was invaluable in the research for my book Chosen People.

My dearest Rabbi Hailu Paris was the missing link between the people of African descent in Americas, Island of the seas & Ethiopia (Africa). Let the almighty blessed his living soul, put him among selected few that shines for allolamebaye (the end of times double time).

To my best friend, Rabbi Hailu Paris, you're forever in my heart, daily thoughts and prayers! I thank The Creator for blessing me in having the priviledge of having you as a part of my life. I miss you more than words can ever say. May you forever rest peacefully and todah rabah for a job well done! You've shared so much of your love and knowledge with me and our community. Your memory will forever be a blessing to all who knew and loved you!

Rabbi Baruch Yehudah

As a student of the late Rabbi. I continue to marvel at the fact that his superior scholarship was only outdone by his incredible humility. May his soul be bound in Eternity with those of our forefathers Abraham Yitzkack and Yisrael.
