This series gives
insight into the lives of children from different backgrounds growing up in
Jerusalem. In this video, Gesho is a 13-year-old boy whose family left
Ethiopia for Israel during Operation Solomon—Israel’s massive refugee effort
in 1991. In Ethiopia, Gesho had to leave school to help his father in the
fields, and his family had no running water or electricity in their home.
Gesho’s older brother Benjamin came to Israel alone, seven years before his
family, through Operation Moses. Benjamin speaks of how he had to hide in the
mountains in Ethiopia for months to avoid being drafted into the army. Gesho
talks about his adjustment to Israel and his love for soccer, and we meet his
parents, grandmother and eight brothers and sisters in the settlement for new
immigrants in which they live. Study
guide available. |
