- Scope and Content
- Item is an audio recording of Avi Bitew giving a talk about the situation of Ethiopia's Jews. The talk was probably given at a forum on Ethiopian Jews that was held at the Shaarei Shomayim synagogue in Toronto.

After Bitew's talk, there is audio of a documentary about Ethiopia's Jews.
- Bitew is introduced by Debbie Molot-Toker, executive director of CAEJ.
