We will explore the history of the Ethiopian Jewish Community and discover the roots of an African Jewish presence in the ancient Aksumite Kingdom. Following a trail of clues and historical narratives, we will investigate the possibility that the Ark of the Covenant resides today in modern Ethiopia. All of this leads to the recent discovery of a "Jewishly Rooted" population in Addis Ababa and North Shewa. Join Rabbi Bennett as he shares stories, images, and videos from his recent trip to support "The Hidden Jews of Ethiopia."

Rabbi Josh Bennett has served as one of the spiritual leaders of Temple Israel, since his ordination from the Hebrew Union College (Cincinnati, Ohio) in 1994. He holds a Masters Degree of Hebrew Letters in addition to Rabbinic Ordination, a Bachelors of Science Degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Champaign and received an honorary doctorate from Hebrew Union College.
