MY FAMILY
THE BETA ISRAEL CURRICULUM

STARTER

 Students should be asked to read the following three stories, discussing the experiences of individual Ethiopian Jews who immigrated to Israel. After reading each story, students should be encouraged to research the internet for any reference that may be unclear (such as Yemin Orde or Tebeka), to gain a clear and full picture of the individual’s experience. Students should then share their thoughts about each story, reflecting on what these experiences can teach us about identity, community, and opportunity for members of the Beta Israel.
