The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia is excited to have Brhan Worku as our social media ambassador this year. 

Worku is an Ethiopian Jewish activist and educator based in Israel. As a storyteller, she has a passion for elevating Ethiopian Jewish voices and celebrating diverse experiences. For the past five years, she has been passionate about sharing the stories and traditions of Ethiopian Jews and her own aliya to Israel. Her digital content also strives to foster a sense of Jewish pride and advocacy online.

Over the coming year, she will showcase how the Jewish Federation is working to preserve Jewish life in Greater Philadelphia and Israel.
