October Tzedakah Box

Beth Am's October Tzedakah Box supports Tebeka (the Amharic word for “Advocate of Justice”), a non-profit organization founded in 2,000 and led by a group of educated professionals, Ethiopian-Israelis and their Israeli-born peers. Today, there are over 144,000 Ethiopian Jews in Israel. Tebeka is the only Israeli NGO with the first-hand knowledge, legal expertise and dedication to respond to the challenges faced by the community — from racism and discrimination to the struggle to achieve equality before the law to make Israel a more just society. Tebeka's aim is to pursue equality and justice, build the community’s resilience and capability, and strengthen its social fabric. Tebeka achieves these outcomes by providing both legal aid and community empowerment programs.
