Eat, Pray, Wait: The Informal Israeli Jewish Education of Ethiopian Youth Awaiting "Aliyah"
Shalev Marom, Marva
Journal of Jewish Education, v89 n3 p308-338 2023
For Jewish Ethiopian refugees at the Tikvah summer camp in Gondar, Ethiopia, Jewish informal education keeps their dreams of Jerusalem alive while simultaneously reinforcing Israeli gatekeeping practices. The ethnic and religious ideologies underlying Israeli nation-building and statecraft surface in the campers' exterritorial encounter with Israel's vision of an "ideal" Jew. Through a collaborative, community-based approach, this study provides a holistic representation of Tikvah as a world suspended between Israeli socialization and informal Jewish education, exposing the distance between the diverse traditions and identities of Jews across the world and Israel's reconfiguration of what it means to be a "Jew."
