Welcome... we are the Chashah Monastery!

Projects
 

Chashah Monastery is focusing to restore the building of Gedam infrastructures to
serve as the foundation for Bet Ezra’El, preparing for a purposeful return to Ethiopia and a renewed way of life. Our commitment is clear, there will be no compounds and no absorption centers as these spaces are envisioned as sanctuaries for Elders and all who genuinely seek to embrace the haymanot tradition. The vision for returning to the Shewa Gedams is built on rekindling the Ethereal connection that has sustained Chashah Bet Ezra’El for generations.
 

Our focus includes the construction of schools, technology centers, housing, and monastic spaces to transmit our culture into preservation that maintains our language and spiritual wisdom. We're planning a future for Bet Ezra’El that is grounded in authenticity that is free from shame and liberated from imposed false identities. We are pursing a powerful return embedded in the continuity of our ancestral teachings and a collective life lived in Ethereal truth.

Mission

The mission of the Chashah Monastery is maintaining connection to Gedams of the Amhara region in direct connection with Kahan/ Kahanot, Monks and Nuns for us to assist daily operations by providing food, financial support and moral support for the homeless, widows, orphans and those who need community services.

Vision

Vision of the Chashah Monastery is rendering international support and growth to Shewa Gedams so they remain progressive in building infrastructure for establishing schools to educate Greater Ethiopia, to provide organic wellness, to maintain a culture of individuals who have a personal innate mission to serve the monasteries by dedicating their lives to this very cause. 

Purpose

The purpose of the Chashah Monastery is to become living vessels for AMLAK, who
is the Light of our strength, and for him to amplify our sacred prayers for safety and community prosperity as we extend support of spiritual kinship across continents.
We are devoted to preserving the ancient traditions of the Mashafa Qedus Script for Bet Ezra’El to nurture spiritual transmission for each generation to receive a living requirement of wisdom, healing, and compassion to advance generational Ethereal infrastructure. We purpose our lives for sacred service, prayer, and support by bridging international divides to assist our kinsmen seeking refuge, relief, and renewal within the sacred embrace of Ethiopia’s monastic traditions.

Inception of the Chashah Monastery

The Gedams of Shewa have always been an important part of Bet Ezra'El of Ethiopia, and no matter where migrating to, Gedams are partial to each individual, which directly merges us into an international community. And for this reason, the Chashah Monastery is a supportive network of the Shewa Gedams based in New Mexico. Our inception was in Atlanta, Georgia in 2018, as we then migrated to the beautiful mountains of New Mexico in 2022 that is 6,500 feet above sea level where we hear the voice of AMLAK clearly. Our regnal monastery inscription derives from Gaz (known as Ge'ez) to represent the Great Herzega AMLAK that is humbly entitled, 'Berhan Sen' Aya' meaning "Light of My Strength." The monastery endorses the faithful works of Bet Ezra'El Kahan, Monks and Nuns who intercede for Greater Ethiopia around the world. And though thousands of miles away from the powerful Gedams, we stand in acceptance to the efforts that generate Ethereal utterances to the Great Herzega AMLAK.
