Aramean Citizens - Revitalizing Our Heritage
እምተንሥአ በኵሉ ዕለት፡ እሰግድ ወእጼሊ ለአምላክ አመስግን አምላክ በእንተ ሕይወት ዘወሀብከኒ
We are Chashah Bet Ezra’El. A people who stand still to wait on AMLAK.
A People. A Living Heritage.
A Community Built to Continue.
We are a people deriving from Northern Ethiopia who worship AMLAK, and no other elohim. A royal citizenship identified as Chashah Bet Ezra'El. It is imperative to acknowledge that Chashah are a people, not a religion.
We carry a living Haymanot through the Mashafa Qeddus and community service for where the people are in need. That work is currently in New Mexico by us providing food, clean water, hygiene support and practical assistance. We are also preparing
for the restoration of the Gedam communities in Ethiopia, places where spiritual life and agriculture are cultural responsibilities for everyone to benefit.
Chashah Are Interceding to AMLAK...
Everyone has something to contribute.

A strong community is built through participation. A person may contribute an hour of work, a professional skill, food, transportation, agricultural knowledge, craftsmanship, teaching, technology, or simply the willingness to show up and help.
CHASHAH is developing practical ways to recognize and connect those contributions to community needs.
This model is being developed through pilots, documentation, and community learning. The system will grow according to what works.
One hour of meaningful contribution
→ one recorded community credit.
Who Are the Chashah?
We Are a People, a Royal Populace.
Chashah Bet Ezra'El derive from Shire, Tigrai who were compromised by war, their Kingdom dismantled into tribal identities after destruction of the Axum Empire, then further imposed with involuntary regional lines. The Chashah were not distinguished as tribal communities until the Axum annihilation. In the current day, they have inevitably maintained the customs and existence of Axum.
Our regnal monastery inscription derives from G'az (known as Ge'ez) to represent the Great Herzega AMLAK, humbly entitled Berhan Sen' Aya — "Light of My Strength."
Though thousands of miles from the powerful Gedams, we stand in acceptance of the efforts that generate Ethereal utterances to the Great Hazaga AMLAK.
Our heritage is not only something remembered. It is something practiced. It is found in how we pray, how we learn, how we care for elders, how we feed one another, how knowledge is carried between generations, and how community life is organized around responsibility.
Chashah are a people, not a religion. You do not have to leave your heritage at the door, or become someone else, to practice your Haymanot.
Our work begins with what has been entrusted to us and grows through what we build together.

Mission
Introducing support services to Gedams of the North Highland regions through direct connection with Kahan/Kahanot, Monks, Nuns, and Elders — providing sustainable solutions for food security, social enterprises and capacity building for displaced community members, widows, orphans and those who need community services.
Vision
Rendering international support and growth to Northern Highland Gedams so they remain progressive in building infrastructure, establishing schools to educate vulnerable youth and adults, providing organic wellness, and maintaining a culture of individuals with a personal innate mission to serve marginalized communities.
Purpose
Striving to become living vessels for AMLAK, the Light of our strength, and for him to amplify our sacred prayers for safety and community prosperity as we extend support of spiritual and communal kinship across continents — preserving the ancient traditions of the Mashafa Qeddus Script for each generation.
Values
Heritage lived, not archived. Dignity in every delivery. Sanctuary — not compounds, not absorption centers. Contribution recognized, not charity administered. What we learn, we document and share, so the work can continue beyond us.
The Gedam
A place where heritage becomes community again.
The Gedam is more than a building. It is a place where spiritual life, learning, agriculture, craftsmanship, family life, and community responsibility can exist together.
Elders rest there with dignity. Youth learn there with purpose. Knowledge is carried there between generations. G'AZ is spoken, taught, and preserved. Food is grown. Skills are practiced. Families gather. People contribute. And Haymanot remains part of daily life.
Our goal is not to recreate the past as a museum. Our goal is to help develop living Gedams capable of carrying Bet Ezra'El heritage into the future.
The work is currently in research, relationship-building, assessment, and development. We are studying what exists, reconnecting with communities and institutions, understanding land and infrastructure conditions, identifying skills and resources, and developing a practical blueprint for revitalization.
One Gedam can become a model. The first pilot is intended to become a working model that can be studied, improved, documented, and potentially adapted elsewhere.
Our Monastery Serves Where there is Need.
Our community work in New Mexico is practical. Each week, CHASHAH carries food, clean water, and hygiene supplies to households and independent-living homes in Grants, Milan, and rural Cibola County.
Food
Food boxes are prepared and delivered to households experiencing food insecurity.
Clean Water
Clean drinking water is carried with our delivery routes.
Hygiene
Hygiene supplies remain part of our ongoing service because dignity is part of community care.
Community Service
We create opportunities for people to contribute their time, skills, and practical knowledge to the work.
Work Begins Were We Are. . . a Weekly Delivery in Cibola County Belongs to the People!
