Lecture presenting factual data about the Falash Mura based on field research in 1992. About 24,000 live in villages (Denbia, Chilga areas near Lake Tana), 3,200 were in Addis Ababa awaiting aliyah, and 3,000 had arrived in Israel. They are identified by themselves and neighbors as Beta Israel descendants, work traditional Jewish professions (blacksmithing, pottery, weaving), and intermarriage with Christians is under 5%.
