Скачать или смотреть Ethiopian Ashkenazi Israeli wedding!

On the fifth night of Ḥanukkah, a night already taught to lean toward light, Noam known for his careful eye and quiet intention behind Kavanah Films, and for the work We Were Never Lost, which people are already whispering may soon find its way to wider screens stood beneath the ḥuppah and sanctified his bond with his wife, Brhan.

And it was fitting. Perhaps even precise.
For light is not increased all at once, but night by night.

Brhan, an Ethiopian-Israeli Jewish woman, rooted and wandering at the same time, one who creates, travels, and looks upon the world with curiosity rather than haste, entered this covenant not as an ornament, but as a full partner. A helpmate facing him. A presence.

This was an Ethiopian -Ashkenazi union, Israeli in its breath, Jewish in its spine. Different customs meeting, not to blur one another, but to stand together. As it should be.

We bless them, then, with a mazal tov that is not merely spoken but lived: for health, for steadiness, for a home built patiently, and for love that widens to family, and outward, toward people. Toward the world.

May their light increase. Night after night.
