This paper reviews the literature concerning the difficulties that the Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel faces in the socio-economic and psychological realms, with the goals of understanding the problems more deeply and offering solutions for a better future. The community has been suffering from economic, educational, social, familial and psychological hardships while Israeli society has found difficulty integrating this immigrant population. Historical and cultural overviews and a statement of the status quo are presented, as well as a review of the psychotherapeutic methods found helpful for individuals, families and groups from the community. The paper concludes that, fundamentally, the problems represent impasses in reconciling cultural differences between the Ethiopian Jewish community, Israeli society and within the Ethiopian Jewish community itself, and that solutions lie in such reconciliation. A recommended treatment is to expand Gadi BenEzer's therapeutic technique of "mutual creative space" beyond group therapy to a more accessible and popular venue.
