Beta Israel Memorial, Memorial cenotaph at Mount Herzl, Israel.
The Beta Israel Memorial features a stone structure representing an Ethiopian village, with inscribed stones arranged around a grass plaza with olive trees.
In 2007, this memorial replaced an earlier 1989 structure from Givat HaMatos, commemorating Ethiopian Jews who died during their migration to Israel.
The memorial incorporates Ethiopian architectural elements and includes information boards that narrate the extensive history of Jewish communities in Ethiopia.
The memorial site remains open to visitors throughout the year, with guided tours providing detailed information about the Ethiopian Jewish experience.
Stone markers shaped like graves surround the plaza, each bearing names of individuals who perished during their journey from Ethiopia to Israel.
