Despite this hardship. the Falashas have clung to their faith with a certainty and tenacity that we can only admire. Judaism still survives in Ethiopia. even though synagogues have been closed. the teaching of Hebrew has been banned and rabbis have been imprisoned and tortured. The Marxist government of Mengistu also forbids emigration of any kind. Falasha means "stranger" or "one who does not own land." More than anything else. the Jews of Ethiopia wish to live where they will not be strangers. on the Jewish land of Israel. This resolution will tell the world that we have not forgotten the Falashas and their dreams. and it reaffirms our pledge to do all we can to help ancient Jewish community of Ethiopia unite with their people in the Jewish State of Israel.
