Ethiopian Jess Aided
by Campaign ill U.S.
CHICAGO (JTA) — The editor-
publisher of an English-Jewish
weekly published here has sparked
a campaign in Jewish communities
to aid 30,000 impoverished Falas-
has, the black Jews of Ethiopia.
So far, $10,000 has been contribu-
ted by more than 500 persons in
the Chicago area, according to the
Sentinel editor, J.I. Fishbein.
Fishbein visited Ethiopia last
summer, and his articles on the
plight of the Falasha Jews have
appeared in the Sentinel. The Fal-
ashas settled in Ethiopia 3,000
years ago and once numbered
nearly a half million but have
dwindled through conversion and
natural causes.
The Sentinel published a let-
ter to Fishbein from Raymond
Cohen, attached to the U.S.
Agency for International Devel-
opment in Ethiopia, who has
been acting as a liaison between
the Falashas and American
Jews.
Cohen wrote that through Fish-
bein's initiative the Falashas were
able to set up their own settlement
on a land grant from the Ethiopian
government and to purchase a
tractor. He said it was the first
time in their long history that
black Jews have owned land,
having subsisted as tenant farm-
ers.
Part of the funds raised for
them will be used to purchase ad-
ditional agricultural equipment and
to furnish the Falashas with the
services of an Israeli agricultural
expert, the Sentinel said.
