A New Wave of Aliyah
Are We Watching Ezekiel 36:24 Come to Pass
Before Our Eyes?
6/9/2017 UNITED WITH ISRAEL AND JNS.ORG.
A group of Ethiopian Falash Mura arrived at Ben Gurion Airport on
Tuesday, the first group in a new wave of aliyah (immigration to Israel).
The 72 new Jewish immigrants arrived in the Jewish state as
part of a collaborative effort between the Jewish Agency for Israel and the
International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ).
More than 200 families and supporters greeted the new immigrants at
the airport.
Another three immigrant flights from Ethiopia are expected to arrive
in Israel this month.
Tuesday night's flight marked the first group of Jewish immigrants
from Ethiopia to arrive in Israel since the Israeli government approved
and renewed the Ethiopian Aliyah
program in October 2016.
ICEJ, a Christian Zionist global ministry, sponsored the latest
Ethiopian immigration wave to Israel and has worked to raise funds for the
first year of the reintroduced Ethiopian Aliyah program, which will bring 1,400
new immigrants to the Jewish state.
Falash Mura is the name given to those of the Beta Israel community
in Ethiopia and Eritrea who converted to Christianity under pressure from the
Christian Mission during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The establishment of the Jewish state and the waves of aliyah from Ethiopia have brought them back to
their roots and heritage.
In 2003, the Israeli government applied Resolution 2958 to the
Falash Mura, which grants maternal descendants of Jews the right to immigrate
to Israel under the Israeli Law of Return and to obtain citizenship if they
convert to Judaism.
Some 9,000 Jews still reside in Ethiopia and are waiting Israeli
government approval to make aliyah.
Also Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Ethiopian
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn and his wife to the Prime Minister's Office
in Jerusalem.
"The
Ethiopian community, Mr. Prime Minister, is a human bridge between our two
nations," Netanyahu
said.
