Mezuzah

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: ISRAEL AND PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES

Hang this mezuzah on your doorframe as a reminder of the diversity of the Diaspora and the knowledge that you are supporting an Ethiopian family. Each durable plastic casing holds a uniquely hand-embroidered traditional pattern made by an Ethiopian immigrant in northern Israel. A gold shin adorns the surface. With your purchase, GGP is able to support Adisia's women with workshops on health and childcare.

Each multi-colored mezuzah is unique.

5" long.

CRAFTED BY ADISIA

Adisia, meaning "revival" in Amharic, was founded in 1991 after a large number of Ethiopian Jews migrated to Israel due to conflict and famine in their home country. The nonprofit organization coordinates an income-generation program for immigrant women, providing raw materials, marketing opportunities, artistic enrichment seminars, empowerment trainings, and a setting in which women can create and sell traditional Ethiopian embroidery. Beyond a source of income, the organization also offers women the chance to preserve an important aspect of Ethiopian culture.
