Countries and Their Cultures: Falasha

Curated by ACT

The Falasha are a northern Ethiopian highland population of Jewish belief. They are one of the dozens of small ethnic minorities in Ethiopia and have been recognized as a "nationality" in the Ethiopian constitution of 1986. More than half of this community emigrated to Israel during the late 1970s and 1980s. In Ethiopia, the Falasha were (and are) subsistence farmers and artisans (blacksmiths and potters).
