On May 25, 1991, a Boeing 747 packed with over 1000 Ethiopians left the besieged capital of Addis Ababa for Tel Aviv. In the next 36 hours, 13,000 more Ethiopians were to depart for Israel in what became known as "Operation Solomon". Rarely in human history has an entire community been transplanted in such as short period from one civilisation to another. After generations of praying and years of diplomatic wrangling, Ethiopia's Jews were at last going to the Promised Land. This book focuses on the crucial issue of family life, examining how the personal relationships of the Ethiopian Jews are being radically transformed as they become assimilated into Israeli society. Thrust from isolated villages without electricity or running water into the urban bustle of modern, post-industrial society, they have seen their marriages challenged by the ongoing redefinition of gender and roles, their children increasingly Westernised and their specific practice of Judaism closely scrutinised. This illustrated volume is the tale of their struggle and the emotional saga of their experiences in the Promised Land.
