One People, One Blood: Ethiopian-Israelis and the Return to Judaism
by Don Seeman
Little by little, an egg will come to walk upon its own leg. Ethiopian-Israelis fondly quote this bit of Amharic folk wisdom, reflecting upon the slow, difficult history that fulfilled their destiny far from their Horn of Africa birthplace. But today, unlike these authentic Jews, the Feres Mura, Ethiopian Jews whose families converted to Christianity during the nineteenth century and then reasserted their Jewish identity in the latter part of the twentieth century, still await acceptance by Israel.
