\u00a0<\/strong>Teachers should explain that the story of the Beta Israel\u2019s attempted journeys to Jerusalem is best understood when considered within the context of some major historical events in the Torah \u2013 and with a clear comprehension of the chronological order in which these biblical events took place.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Students should now be divided into pairs. Each pair should receive an envelope with 17 slips of paper. A different historical event from the Torah should be written on each slip of paper. The students\u2019 task is to organize the 17 slips of paper \u2013 i.e., 17 historical events, into chronological order. (Correct order below)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Once the students have completed this exercise teachers should briefly review the Torah story and answer questions. Teachers should then explain that the Jewish people have long held a foundational national memory of being displaced from our homeland. We experienced many miracles on our journeys home. For the Jewish people, the establishment of the State of Israel ended more than 2,500 years of exile. After a long and arduous journey, the Beta Israel has finally joined its family in the Land of Israel.<\/em><\/p>\n
