Art is a sensitive, tangible and special way to bring hearts together and to connect our students to the moving and complex story of the Ethiopian Jewish community and their Aliyah the Israel. This ceremony, held at our Middle School, in commemoration of these victims and the presentation of such an impressive exhibition on Ethiopian Jewry is an educational-community event of great significance that create greater acceptance and a desire for deeper and more meaningful connections between different communities in Israeli society.
