People say Jews are white Europeans. Tali Aynalem is Ethiopian, Israeli, and Jewish.
In this episode of The Bridge, Tali shares the remarkable story of Ethiopian Jews, her life in Israel, and why she has chosen to use her voice to speak out against antisemitism, misinformation, and the growing misconceptions surrounding Jewish identity and the Jewish homeland.
Many people have never heard the story of the Beta Israel community or the extraordinary efforts that brought thousands of Ethiopian Jews home to Israel. Tali helps us better understand that history while also discussing the challenges of navigating today's social media landscape, where false narratives often spread faster than truth.
We discuss:
🔹 The history of Ethiopian Jews (Beta Israel)
🔹 Operation Moses and Operation Solomon
🔹 Growing up Ethiopian and Israeli
🔹 Antisemitism and misinformation online
🔹 Misconceptions about Jews, Israel, race, and identity
🔹 Why understanding history matters
🔹 The importance of speaking truth with courage
Whether you're Jewish, Christian, or simply someone seeking to better understand these issues, this conversation offers a perspective that many people have never heard and a reminder of the importance of seeking truth rather than repeating assumptions.
