Right: Home for a Jewish
family is a mud but with
a grass roof in Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia.

few years ago, Dr.
Norman Weiss, 65 — a
local dentist when not
taking pictures — hired
guides and rented vehicles and tents
to find and photograph a primitive
tribe in Ethiopia.
When he returned home to West
Bloomfield, he was shocked to learn
that 20,000 Jews were still living in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, not far from
where he had been.
He returned a year later to take
their pictures.
A supporter of the North
American Conference on Ethiopian
Jewry (NACOEJ) in the early '90s,
Weiss had assumed that most of
these Jews had been airlifted to Israel
during Operation Solomon. He was
wrona0 , and decided his exhibits
could educate others about the
ongoing plight of his fellow Jews still
trapped in Africa.
The proceeds from his photos go
to NACOEJ, "the organization that
supplies children and pregnant
mothers with meals every day," and
offers paid employment for men and
women, he says.
The Temple Israel Sisterhood will
feature Dr. Weiss' photos, along with
embroideries by Ethiopian Jews, at
its annual art fair, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Sunday and Monday, April 21-22.
The event, which takes place at the
synagogue, also includes paintings,
glass works, jewelry and furniture.
Weiss' works also will be on view
May 5-15 in the lobby of the West
