After a break of several months, the State of Israel yesterday (Wednesday) received 95 new immigrants from Ethiopia as part of the "Make Israel 2" operation for family reunification - with the assistance of the Foundation Foundation and the Jewish Agency.
The immigrant plane that landed in Israel yesterday was joined by an international leadership delegation from Keren Hayesod, consisting of about 25 leaders, who are raising significant sums for the community in Ethiopia, as well as for their upliftment and absorption in Israel.
Among other things, the delegation visited an ancient synagogue in Ambovar, an ancient Jewish village in the mountains of Gondar, met with the community awaiting the ascension in Gondar, and even joined a common morning prayer.
The delegation also visited the local Jewish school, the feeding center, and the homes of the community awaiting immigration, as well as the offices of the Jewish Agency in Gondar, where the process of preparing for immigration takes place.
