Advocacy for Equality & Justice for Ethiopian Israelis

TEBEKA

Legal Aid Society for Ethiopian Jews in Israel

The Organization: TEBEKA

The Cause: Legal Aid Society for Ethiopian Jews in Israel

The Reason: This evening, the 29th of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, begins the Ethiopian Jewish holiday of Sigd. On Sigd, members of the Ethiopian Jewish community fast, recite psalms and celebrate the acceptance of the Torah. Sigd is exactly 50 days after Yom Kippur and according to Ethiopian Jewish tradition is also the date that God first revealed himself to Moses. In honor of tonight's holiday, we are supporting an organization that provides needed assistance to Ethiopian Jewish families in Israel. 

The Big Idea: Tebeka's mission is to safeguard the rights of Ethiopian Israelis by ensuring their access to high quality, comprehensive and free legal services. Tebeka operates legal aid clinics that serve more than 1,000 people annually in areas including employment, education, housing, health, immigration and family law.
