Endless Exodus: The Jewish Experience in Ethiopia is a powerful visual and historical journey into one of the world''s oldest and most resilient Jewish communities. Through striking photographs and highly researched narrative, filmmaker and scholar Peter Decherney captures the spiritual endurance, cultural richness, and everyday life of Ethiopian Jews — both those who remain in Ethiopia and those who have made Aliyah to Israel.
Spanning from biblical origins through exile, persecution, and migration, the book weaves together ancient legend, modern
history, and contemporary portraiture. Decherney’s lens reveals everyday life in Gondar — from matzah baking on injera griddles to children studying Hebrew under corrugated roofs — while tracing the community’s centuries-long longing for Jerusalem.
Featuring a foreword by Sigal Kanotopsky, a leading Ethiopian-Israeli activist, Endless Exodus invites readers to see beyond narratives of suffering and rescue, offering instead a portrait of pride, continuity, and hope. It is both a work of art and a testament to Jewish diversity, identity, and belonging.
