Ethiopia is one of the most ancient and fascinating countries in the world, with a rich history and a close connection to Judaism. Its past is filled with struggles, conquests, and invasions, and only recently has it begun a process of political and social change. Most of its residents are farmers living in remote villages and earning a meager livelihood. In the north of the country, there are striking contrasts in lifestyles, culture, and landscapes.
In the second lecture, from the high peaks to the scorching desert, we will explore the cities sacred to Christianity, climb to churches atop cliffs, and continue to one of the hottest areas on Earth, the Salt Desert. We will be exposed to breathtaking sights and closely examine the lifestyle of a nomadic tribe living in this arid desert.
Lecture by cultural researcher, photographer, and lecturer Moshe Foister.
