Rachel Rzhevsky's mother arrived in Russia 20 years ago and was granted temporary resident status until the court informed her that she had to leave the country within a month. "I want Mama to stay with me because I have no other country," the girl said. Her friends protested outside her home: "Don't separate mother and daughter"

Teens from Kiryat Gat protest against the expulsion of their girlfriend's mother: "She can't go"

Edit: Saul Adam

Dozens of teenagers from Kiryat Gat launched a fight Tuesday to fight the expulsion of their girlfriend's mother from Israel. Rachel Rzhevsky, an eighth-grader at Shalon School in the city, was born in Israel to an Israeli father and mother, Rima, a Russian citizen. The mother came to Israel 20 years ago following the marriage and has lived in Israel ever since. A few years ago, the father returned to Russia and the mother and daughter remained with their grandfather, Edward, a Holocaust survivor.

Rima was granted temporary resident status, but two weeks ago the court decided that it should return to Russia within 30 days. Now, Rachel has to choose whether to return to Russia with her mother, a place whose culture she does not know or master, or stay in Israel and grow up without a mother. Grandpa also has no family in the country, and his mother and daughter are his only relatives.

Outside the family's house, Rachel's friends protested, shouting "Where's the mercy?" And "she can't go." The boys were holding signs that read: "Mother has only one", "Divorce is not the solution" and "Mother and daughter are not separated."

"I am very happy that they came and supported me," Rachel described. "We do everything so that my mother is not deported. I really want her to stay with me and live with me here because I have no other country. My mother in this country for 20 years, has built her life and family here. I am really asking for help, it's not human." .

Did Rima tell that Israel is her home. She said, "I have nowhere to go, I've been here for 20 years. There's a grandpa here who's like my dad and I help him. I can't leave the girl."

At the school, Rachel was described as an outstanding student who participates in the Ramon Foundation's "Squadron" program. She said that "Rachel is a true leader who aspires high. She has many dreams and plans for the future that will not come true if the State of Israel decides to expel the mother. We support Rachel and believe she deserves to live in her home country with her family."
