Hanan Aynor
Scholarship

GAIL LICHTMAN
Special to The Jewish News

When Rachel Issachar, an
Ethiopian mother of four who
came to Israel in 1984 with
Operation Moses, attended a
bar mitzvah in Rehovot in
1994, she found herself seated
next to Sara Aynor, widow of —/
---\
Israeli diplomat and former
ambassador to Ethiopia
Hanan Aynor.
"We started to talk," Ms.
Aynor recalls. "She told me
she had been a teacher in
Ethiopia and was interested in
social work. As I talked with
her, I was extremely impressed_/
with how positive and opti-
mistic she was. I asked her
why she didn't study social
work and she replied, "How
can I? Where would I get the
money? I have four children
and I have to work to help
support my family. No one
awards scholarships to women
my age who want to study. If
I could get a scholarship,
study half-time and work
half-time, maybe I would be
able to do it."
What Ms. Issachar did not "-
know was that Sara Aynor
had already established Keren
Hanan Aynor, Israel's only
scholarship fund for
Ethiopian students, in memo-,_/
ry of her late husband.
Keren Hanan Aynor, a pri-
vate fund founded in 1994 by
family and friends, concen-
trated on awarding scholar-
ships to outstanding
Ethiopian immigrants study-
ing for graduate degrees, but
Sara Aynor was not averse to
broadening the criteria. In
fact, following her conversa-
tion with Rachel Issachar,
Aynor worked to expand the
fund to include students over
the age of 30, who did not fall
under the jurisdiction of the
Student Authority.
In October 1996, Keren
Hanan Aynor which for the
second year in a row has
received funding from the
Administrator General of the
State of Israel through the
Ministry of Absorption, held
