D.C. The six visitors in the
Detroit area were selected from
a group of 1,600 Ethiopian stu-
dents in Israel.
"The boys bonded immedi-
ately," said Geoffrey's mother,
Terri Dworkin.
"They didn't make any color
distinction. They've shared and
done what all teen-age boys do.
In a way, he'll become part of
our family."
"They've only been here for
about 36 hours (on Sunday
morning) but we are almost at
the point where it feels like they
have been here forever," added
Michael Dworkin.
Amit and Yonas both came
from small villages in Ethiopia
and attend the same school.
Each brings a different story
about his exodus.
Amit left his village in secre-
cy one night, traveling many
miles until he arrived in Sudan.
He remembers the walk as very
difficult and saw fellow travel-
ers become ill and die.
"I was sick because of aller-
gies and conditions (in the
desert) were terrible," he said.
"We were received warmly in
Israel and I was excited to ar-
rive in the promised country.
We felt it was our home and our
fathers dreamed of it.
"I thought everyone was go-
ing to be black, but when we ar-
rived, I saw people of different
colors. It was a surprise. I said
to myself, 'Is everyone here
Jewish?"
Amit will finish school this
year then will either go to col-
lege, where he would like to
study psychology, or serve in
the Israeli army.
"(On Saturday night) Amit
said the most moving and
touching thing to me," Mrs.
Dworkin said. "He said, want
to thank you. I feel like I have
a new family.' This came from
his heart. Here is a young man
who has been through so much
adversity in his life. He does not
know where his parents' graves
are. He is trying to make some-
thing of himself."
Yonas left Ethiopia with his
family in 1985. His parents
made connections with the
American Association of
Ethiopian Jewry, which helped
them leave. When he was 7,
Yonas arrived in Israel. After
spending a year in an absorp-
tion center, the family moved to
Jerusalem. Yonas is studying
electronics and plans to go
through the army and attend
college. ❑
