Qwara, a region of western Amhara (Gondar, Ethiopia), is considered one of the historic strongholds of the Beta Israel (Falashas), where a high concentration of Ethiopian Jewish communities lived from the 16th to the 19th century in relative isolation. This remote region long preserved traditions particular to the Beta Israel; its inhabitants were among the last to join Israel during the aliya operations of the 20th century.
