Today, there are over 144,000 Ethiopian Jews in Israel. Tebeka is the only Israeli NGO with the first-hand knowledge, legal expertise and dedication to respond to the challenges faced by the community—from racism and discrimination to the struggle to achieve equality before the law to make Israel a more just society.

Ethiopian-Israelis throughout the country seek out the counsel of Tebeka’s attorneys. Tebeka has offices in RishonLeZion, Netanya, Rehovot and PetachTikva. Each year, over a thousand Ethiopian-Israelis from all walks of life receive time-sensitive pro bono legal guidance in Hebrew and Amharic.

Tebeka is led by the first-generation of Ethiopian-Israelis to earn advanced academic degrees and expertise in their field of law. They have chosen to pursue careers dedicated to justice, empowerment of their community and the betterment of Israeli society. They are supported by senior legal specialists who provide pro bono guidance.
