An article about the story before the ascension: the life of the Beta Israel community in Ethiopia, the villages, the faith, the women, the tradition and the deep Jewish-African world that existed long before the story became a "journey story".
An article about the way in which identity, memory and family history do not only pass through deliberate conversations, but are absorbed in childhood through presence, incidental hearing and a shared living space - and the question of how this flow can be preserved even within the modern home.
An article about the connection between roots, belonging and identity and inner resilience among teenagers and about the possibility to see in our family and community stories not only the past, but a social, emotional and value anchor for the future.
