The Ethiopian Israel Experience

This year the government of Israel has approved bringing 3,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel for the purpose of family reunification. Some of these family members have not seen their loved ones in years. This page is dedicated to helping you understand this community, what is involved in making aliyah, and how important it is for us to bring these Ethiopians home to Israel.

Three sessions were provided by JFNA and the Jewish Agency.

You may watch them here:
