(Mar 04, 2013, (Jerusalem))--"I want dream that in the near future an Ethiopian could be appointed chairman of the Executive of the Jewish Agency." I want to be courageous and to dream that in the near future an
Ethiopian immigrant could be appointed chairman of the Executive of the
Jewish Agency.
Natan Sharansky was unanimously chosen to continue to lead the agency for another term. For me, Sharansky symbolizes national Zionist pride. He fought with all his heart to free Jews in the former Soviet Union, Jews who were imprisoned and tortured for the sole reason that they had expressed a desire to live in the Jewish state.
Like Jews throughout the world, they had dreamed and prayed for generations to have the freedom to build a home in the Land of Israel. To live freely as Jews in a democratic state that belonged to them, and to fulfill the vision of the prophets.
Sharansky fulfilled his dream when he served as an MK and as minister in the Knesset, as well as chairman of the Jewish Agency. It is time now for an Ethiopian immigrant to serve as chairman of the Jewish Agency. The world Jewish community played a large role in bringing the Jews of Ethiopia to the Land of Israel in secrecy, and through hostile countries.
The Beta Israel community, which has been Jewish from the beginning, is loyal to the State of Israel. The world Jewish community, the economic backbone of the Jewish Agency, needs to do some deep thinking and open up its institutions to the Jews of Ethiopia. Read more from Jerusalem Post »
