Description:
We Are Black Jews: Ethiopian Jewry and the Journey to Equality in Israel by Roni Fantanesh Malkai is a profound exploration of the Ethiopian Jewish community's historical journey, resilience, and struggle for equality in Israel. Blending personal narratives with historical accounts, Malkai vividly captures the struggle of Beta Israel to preserve their Jewish identity through centuries of exile and their arduous journey to the Promised Land, which Roni herself undertook on foot. Once in Israel, their challenges continued, as they faced prejudice, inequality, and marginalization.

Yet, at its core, We Are Black Jews is a vision of faith and hope. By celebrating achievements amid adversity and sharing powerful stories of courage and perseverance, Malkai calls for a shift in how we view our communities — embracing a richer, more inclusive Jewish identity
