Tebeka, an Israeli NGO, works to pursue social justice, assure the civil rights of the Ethiopian immigrant community and aid in their absorption process. On Thursday, June 26, the U.S. Friends of Tebeka will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the modern State of Israel, discuss the history of the Aliyah of Ethiopian Jews, their community’s successes, and the challenges yet remaining. Honored guests from the Embassies of Israel and Ethiopia will join us for this lively reception and discussion.
Tebeka believes that successful integration of Ethiopian Israelis will be achieved when immigrants have been incorporated into every area of Israeli society, community members enjoy equal treatment, and discrimination against Ethiopians no longer exists. Tebeka’s work is strengthening both Israel and the Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel.
