Though the Falashas have different cultural views and religious pratices than the Israeli Jews. they are nonetheless Jews and have the right to practice their faith in their holy land without fear of persecution. I am happy to see that the Israeli Government has given many Ethiopian Jews a warn welcome and opportunity to settle and worship within what is considered to be the holy land by all Jews. As a result of the 1975 "Law of Return." the Knesset has permitted Ethiopian Jews to emigrate to Israel. Since 1975. 6.500 Falashas has been allowed to enter Israel. where they have given religious freedom. in addition to economic and social benefits such as nutrition. adequate shelter. and education. I commend the Israeli Government and all others who throughout the years have supported the Falasha cause in their fight for integrity and religious freedom.
