Ethiopian Jews' Memorial Day w/ Sara Baruch

This week I’m talking to Sara Baruch… Sara is an Ethiopian Jew who was raised in Israel, after her parents travelled across East Africa & the Middle East over a period of years to arrive there, with a journey hampered by famine, forced displacement, loss of friends and family members. This is not just Sara’s story, but her family’s too. We’re releasing this episode today for a reason. Yesterday, 29th May 2022, is a national holiday in Israel, called Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day), that commemorates both the reunifications of Jerusalem after the Six Day War of 1967. On Yom Yerushalayim, another national holiday is held; Ethiopian Jew’s Memorial Day, created in around 2004 to commemorate the Ethiopian Jews who perished on their journey to Israel in the various mass exoduses from 1984 onwards. Sara is in the UK as an emissary for both the UJIA and the Jewish Agency, so thank you to those organisations for letting us record in their North Manchester offices! ujia.org jewishagency.org -- This episode is sponsored by MANSCAPED.
