the river to purify themselves
and, according to renowned
anthropologist Shalva Weil,
"On the evening of Yom Kip-
pur a white sheep, free from
imperfections and impurities,
was sacrificed, roasted and
distributed amongst the peo-
ple." "It was traditional to go
to a mountain where the kes
would make a sacrifice,"
recalls Kes Hadane. "When
we came to Israel it was no
longer acceptable to do this. It
was very difficult for us to
stop observing the command-
ment as it is written in the
Torah."
During the day the kesim
read from the books of
Abraham, Isaac, Moses and
Jacob. Traditional stories,
passed down from generation
to generation, were told,
similar to the "spoken Torah"
(Torah B'al Pay), which even-
tually developed into the
Mishnah and the Talmild.
"Nowadays," says Danny, "we
celebrate the holidays like the
Israelis do."
"It is a blessing that we are
in Israel," says Kes Hadana,

"but many things have
changed." No longer, for ex-
ample, does the kes head the
community, for the Ethiopian
comm-unity, as such, no
longer exists. Greatly revered
in Ethiopia, the kesim were
part of a culture in which
respect was based on age. And
now, it is the children, who
have quickly absorbed the
Israeli way of life and are
teaching their parents and
grandparents.
"I was very honored in
Ethiopia and treated with
great respect, not only by the
Jews, but by the Ethiopian
government," reflects Kes
Hadane. "Here, it is dif-
ferent?'
Celebrating the New Year
in Israel, the Ethiopian
Jewish community will also
be celebrating a new way of
life, both religious and social.
Time will tell if their ancient
forms of Jewish observance,
which they so loyally preserv-
ed for centuries, will stand
the test of modernity and add
a unique flavor to Israeli
society. ❑
