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
if they were dead or aliv
One day we received ne
that his parents were alive
Ethiopia, but he refused to
lieve it. Two weeks later, t
counselor in our group r
ceived a call that a mirac
had happened — Ayalle
parents were at the airpo
As the Ethiopian immigr
tion nears completion I
thankful that I was able to ol,
serve it from the inside. 'T
As the Ethiopians say, Del
A Hoo Noo (Good Bye).
