Israel Marks the Memorial Day for Ethiopian Jews

May 17, 2015 President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Immigrant Absorption and Strategic Affairs Zeev Elkin were among the dignitaries that showed their respects to honor the 4,000 Ethiopian Jews who lost their lives making the journey from Ethiopia via Sudan to Jerusalem. Listen to the remarks of these leaders and be inspired (Hebrew) . May the memories of those heroes who set off on the journey but did not make it to Israel be blessed.
