The Jews of Ethiopia: Being Black, Jewish and Israeli

Join the BZD and Naftali Aklum for a unique opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the history, culture, and traditions of Ethiopian Jews. This one-hour educational experience will provide you with a deeper insight into the challenges and triumphs of the Ethiopian community in Israel.

The exodus of Ethiopian Jews to Israel is one of Jewish history’s most profound and poignant chapters. Despite its relatively recent occurrence, the journey and the struggles faced by Ethiopian Jews both during their trek to Israel and upon their arrival remain largely unknown to many within Israel and the global Jewish diaspora. This narrative is a testament to the resilience, perseverance, and ultimate fulfillment of a community deeply committed to its heritage and faith.
