This initiative celebrates Ethiopian Jewish heritage by providing a platform for Ethiopian women to share their stories through cooking, thus preserving their traditions and history. Through a series of cooking videos intertwined with storytelling sessions, participants will share personal narratives, community history, and traditions. The project aims to create at least five cooking videos featuring Ethiopian Jewish traditional meals prepared by Ethiopian Israelis in the United States. Key goals include increasing representation of Ethiopian Jewish women in mainstream platforms, raising cultural awareness, fostering community connections, promoting educational integration, facilitating cultural exchange, and collaborating with influencers to amplify the project’s message.
