Addis Ababa, With a Rare Jewish Depth

Addis Ababa is not just the capital of Ethiopia.
It is also an important station in the story of Beta Israel.
At a dramatic historical stage, Addis Ababa became a major Jewish hub, as thousands of Jews from across Ethiopia arrived there ahead of their aliyah to Israel.
This fact gives the city a Jewish depth you don’t encounter in every destination.

A Living Tradition and a Spiritual Path

The roots of Beta Israel are very ancient.
The community preserved a strong Jewish identity across generations.
The Kessim led the community, preserved its customs, and strengthened its connection to Jerusalem.
The Sigd holiday also adds a deep spiritual layer to the city and its story.
That’s why a kosher trip to Addis Ababa feels not only like a vacation, but also a connection to a living tradition.
