The Wolleka Synagogue is a former Haymanot Jewish congregation and synagogue of the Beta Israel people, located in Wolleka, Ethiopia.
Following centuries of persecution, violent conflict with neighboring Christian kingdoms and aggressive pressure to convert to Christianity, the Beta Israeli Jews made Aliyah and settled in Israel in the early 1990s.[1] The mud-bricked octagonal building, with a thatched wooden roof, is a popular attraction for Jewish tourists.[2] [3]
