Jewish Book Series: Lunch & Learn with Roni Malkai

Please join us at the JCC on **Thursday, February 19** from **12-1 PM** for an
in-person Lunch & Learn and a virtual visit from Roni Malkai, the author of
_We Are Black Jews: Ethiopian Jewry and the Journey to Equality in Israel._
Enjoy a delicious lunch while listening to Roni speak about her book over
Zoom.

Roni Fantanesh Malkai’s newest book, _We Are Black Jews_ , tells the story and
history of the Ethiopian Jewish community, highlighting the unique Jewish
identity and culture of Beta Israel. The book explores Beta Israel’s
immigration to Israel from Ethiopia and their struggle for equality once in
Israel. The story weaves together personal narratives with historical
accounts, bringing in Malkai’s personal experience coming to Israel with her
family as refugees on foot.

This event is part of the JCC’s ongoing **Book Series** , where visiting
Jewish authors give public talks on their work to bring new ideas and
literature to the community. **The cost of this program is $12.50/person.**

_JCC community events and programs are open to all regardless of faith or
background. All are welcome._
