Who they are
Ethiopian Jews, historically known as Beta Israel, preserved their ancestral traditions for centuries in the highlands of Eastern Africa. A large part of this community migrated to Israel in recent decades, keeping alive the Amharic language and unique customs that unite Jewish identity with rich Ethiopian cultural roots.
