"Do not separate me from the Chosen,
the' lay, the light, the splendor. Let me
see the light of Israel. "

- , — Ancient prayer of redemption by EthiopIan Jews In Africa 2 '7

More than 7 000 Ethiopian Jews are fulfilling the dreams Of their ancestors
. by re- establishing their roots in Eretz Yisrael. But the transition to modern
, Israeli society is a drastic adjustment from their more than 2 ,OOO-y'ear- o-ld
. culture. It Is also costly and difficult.

This' Is where the absOrption program of the Jewish Agency for Israel,
funded by your UJA/community campaign gift, plays a vital tale. Before the
Ethiopian Jews can make their way into lSraeli Society, there are numerous

. ' health cUltUral and educational gaps which must be bridged. '

YOUr support is necessary, not only to meet the needs of Israels newest ,
immigrants from Ethiopia, but the more than 17, 000 other olim who came
last year to build a future In the Jewish homeland.’

The Jewish partnership for life needs you. Give generously to your 1985
UJA/community campaign. We are Partners for Life. ' ’
