The Dembiya plain, northwest of Lake Tana, is one of the historic heartlands of the Beta Israel (Falashas). Several Jewish villages there are documented in the seventeenth century by Ethiopian sources and European travelers; the region formed the core of the Beta Israel resistance during conflicts with the emperors of Ethiopia.

Great Book being written

This Great Book does not yet have published chapters. The chapters — each bearing its register, its epistemic status and its sources — will be added as editorial enrichment and assisted generation progress.

The days of this book

This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Dembiya give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.

You know a date — a remembrance, a hilloula, the anniversary of a departure? Give it its day
