About Beejhy Barhany Books

BEEJHY BARHANY fled Ethiopia at the age of four, first making her way to Israel with her Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) family, and then to the United States. After finding that the modern- day fabric of American Judaism did not reflect the stories and experiences of Ethiopian Jewish people, she founded the Beta Israel of North America Cultural Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to elevating and including Jewish Ethiopian voices and showcasing the cultural history of her people. In Harlem in 2014, she opened Tsion Café, which brings together flavors from Ethiopia, Israel, and New York. It has been recognized by major publications and outlets, including The New York Times, The New Yorker, and the Today show. Barhany and her family live in Harlem.
