Wolleka, a village near Gondar (Ethiopia), was in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries one of the craft centers of the Beta Israel, renowned for its pottery and basketry. The Beta Israel artisans of Wolleka supplied local markets; the village became widely known following Operation Moses (1984), which marked the mass exodus of the community to Israel.
