Kalina, Amy. Very good in very good jacket. A Shapolsky book. [6], 58, [4]. Illustrations. Story of an Ethiopian Jewish family struggling to reconcile their own ancient Jewish customs with modern Israeli society. From Wikipedia: "Beta Israel, "House of Israel" or "Community of Israel"), also known as Ethiopian Jews, are the names of Jewish communities located in the area of Aksumite and Ethiopian Empires (Habesha or Abyssinia), currently divided between Amhara and Tigray regions. Beta Israel lived in North and North-Western Ethiopia, in more than 500 small villages spread over a wide territory, among populations that were Muslim and predominantly Christian. The Beta Israel made renewed contacts with other Jewish communities in the later 20th century. After Halakhic and constitutional discussions, Israeli officials decided on March 14, 1977 that the Israeli Law of Return applied to the Beta Israel. The Israeli and American governments mounted aliyah operations to transport the people to Israel. These activities included Operation Brothers in Sudan between 1979 and 1990 and in the 1990s from Addis Ababa (Operation Solomon).
