I once asked Begachaw,
20, why he studied so hard.
He replied that because of his
age and lack of understand-
ing of the language and cul-
ture, he might not be able toy -
achieve all of his goals in Is-
rael. However, he felt through
hard work and determination,
he could insure that his chil-'
dren would have a successful
life in Israel.
Hearing their stories about.
life in Ethiopia was truly fas-
cinating. I was especially in-
trigued about the tales of
arranged marriages and men-
strual huts. Ademasu ex-
plained to me that for seven
days while a woman is men-
struating, she must live in a
separate building from her
family. For these days, no one
is allowed to visit or speaks_
with her. If someone does vis-_
it her then he too must live in'
a separate but for one day.
Some of my most memo
rable moments in Israel oc-
curred while I sat with the
Ethiopians and a map of
Ethiopia and listened to their
fantastic tales of their jour-(
ney from their homeland
through the Sudan to Israel.
Some of the most
j
memorable
moments came
from the
Ethiopians.
To hear how they lived
minimal food and water an
in constant fear of thieves
inspirational. When I aske
what would happen if som
one discovered that they we
Jewish in the Sudan, Adem
su replied, "We would be •
mediately killed."
Many of the students in
group still had relatives li
ing in Ethiopia. One boy, A
alleh, was suffering, beta
his parents were still i
Ethiopia and he had no id

One day we received ne
that his parents were alive

lieve it. Two weeks later, t
counselor in our group r

parents were at the airpo
As the Ethiopian immigr
tion nears completion I
