From Africa to Zion- The Shepherd Boy Who Became Israel’s First Ethiopian Born Journalist By Danny Abebe

Facilitated by Sari Marmur

One night in July 1983, the inhabitants of the village of Tilamado disappeared. Barefoot and wearing traditional dress, the men and women, the children and the elderly, set out on a journey they had dreamed about their whole lives: the journey to Jerusalem. Little did they know what horrors waited along the way and what terrible price they would pay to fulfill their dream. Joining this exodus was a young boy, Adeno, the son of Yidege and Bazeto Abebe.  Thirty-six years later, Danny Adeno Abebe's journey between Ethiopia and Jerusalem is still ongoing. He overcame adversity to become the first Ethiopian-born soldier in IDF Army Radio and the first Ethiopian-Israeli journalist. Please RSVP here.
