Rabbi Avi Weiss, founder of progressive Orthodox institutions in New York, shared his story of gaining Israeli citizenship with his wife Toby in April. He tearfully recalled protesting in the 1970s and 1980s for Ethiopian Jews' recognition and immigration, only to have one such official now affirm his own Jewish status; they held hands and sang a psalm together. The account resonated deeply in Jewish communities, evoking Operations Moses and Solomon that airlifted over 22,000 Ethiopian Jews, though critics amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict called it tone-deaf. Weiss cited rising U.S. antisemitism as a key reason for the move, while planning frequent visits to see grandchildren.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

An 81-year-old American rabbi stood at Israel's Interior Ministry, presenting proof of his Jewishness to an official who had fled Ethiopia decades earlier—a reversal of the activism Weiss once led for Ethiopian Jews.
