Wasafiri Wayahudi
Beta Israel walidumisha mapokeo yao wenyewe ya Kiyahudi kaskazini mwa Ethiopia, kuzunguka Gondar na Ziwa Tana, kwa zaidi ya miaka elfu moja. Wengi wao walihamia Israeli, hasa wakati wa Operesheni Musa mwaka 1984 na Operesheni Sulemani mwaka 1991, kwa hiyo jamii iliyoko Ethiopia sasa ni ndogo, lakini urithi wake unaendelea kuishi katika vijiji vilivyo karibu na Gondar kama Wolleka, na Addis Ababa ina sinagogi na nyumba ya Chabad. Zaidi kwenye Wikipedia.
- Sinagogi na nyumba ya Chabad mjini Addis Ababa vinaendeshwa na Chabad Ethiopia. Wasiliana nao kabla ya kutembelea.
- Kosher: hakuna mkahawa wa kosher Addis, na nyama ya hapa si kosher (haichinjwi na shochet). Chabad Ethiopia hutoa milo ya kosher na chakula cha jioni cha Shabbat; wasiliana nao mapema.
- "Chakula cha mfungo" cha Kiorthodoksi cha vegan kinachotolewa Jumatano na Ijumaa ni chaguo rahisi kila mahali.
