Succat Rahamim Synagogue
The Succat Rahamim Synagogue is a Yemenite/ Adenite synagogue in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. History The synagogue is located in a neighborhood of Addis Ababa called Banin Sefer. In the early 1900s the Banins, a Jewish family originally from Aden in Yemen, owned much of the land in what is now downtown Addis Ababa. The synagogue dates to the mid-20th century. Between the 1950s and the 1970s, the synagogue bustled with members during the holidays and on Shabbat. Because of the dwindling Jewish community in Addis Ababa, the synagogue has not had a rabbi for decades and there are not enough men to regularly have a minyan.

The Jerusalem Post
''The Jerusalem Post'' is a broadsheet newspaper based in Jerusalem, founded in 1932 during the British Mandate of Palestine by Gershon Agron as ''The Palestine Post''. In 1950, it changed its name to ''The Jerusalem Post''. In 2004, the paper was bought by Mirkaei Tikshoret, a diversified Israeli media firm controlled by investor Eli Azur. In April 2014, Azur acquired the newspaper ''Maariv''. The newspaper is published in English and previously also printed a French edition. Originally a left-wing newspaper, it underwent a noticeable shift to the political right in the late 1980s. From 2004 editor David Horovitz moved the paper to the center, and his successor in 2011, Steve Linde, pledged to provide balanced coverage of the news along with views from across the political spectrum. In April 2016, Linde stepped down as editor-in-chief and was replaced by Yaakov Katz, a former military reporter for the paper who previously served as an adviser to former Prime Minister Naftali ...

Beta Abraham
Beta Abraham ( he, בֵּיתֶא אַבְרָהָם, Ge'ez: ''Bēta Abreham'', "House of Abraham")—other terms by which the community have been known include Tebiban ("possessor of secret knowledge"), Balla Ejj (Ge'ez: "Craftsmens"), Buda (Ge'ez: "evil eye") and Kayla (the Agaw language spoken by them),—is a community regarded by some as a crypto-Jewish offshoot of the Beta Israel community. The size of the community is estimated to be somewhere upwards of 150,000 in number. This community is concentrated mainly in the Northern Shewa Zone in the Amhara Region in Ethiopia. The earliest reference to the Jewish community in the historical region of Shewa comes from the 14th century missionary Zena Marqos. More Jews arrived in the region of Shewa from the regions of Fogera and Dembiya during the rule of Negasi Krestos and as a result a first wave of Jewish immigration began in the years 1692-1702. Negasi's grandson, the Meridazmach Abuye fought the forces of emperor Iyasu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
