Aliyah of Rescue for the Ethiopian Jews

The Jews of Ethiopia face the daily threats of poverty, violence and cultural and religious discrimination. Shay Felber, director of the Aliyah and Absorption Unit of the Jewish Agency, joins Reb Steve via Zoom for discussion about the current state of affairs in Ethiopia and the Tigray region and the work of the Jewish Agency in rescuing the Jews caught in the crossfire of this civil war.
