This film will be followed by an exchange between
Paul Hirschson, Consul General of Israel and representatives of the Ethiopian Jewish community in Montreal.

A new feature documentary brings to life the story of the long and tumultuous journey of the Jewish Ethiopian community as they find their way back to the heart of the Jewish people—Jerusalem. Yerusalem is the story of an isolated Jewish tribe who kept its faith for thousands of years even when they lived in a hostile environment. This is the story of ancient Jewish traditions, of heroic actions, and of daring covert operations. But mainly, this is the story of a powerful religious yearning passed down for countless generations.
