According to the annual report, the Ethiopian population in Israel stood at some 141,000 at the end of 2015 – 85,700 who were born in Ethiopia and 55,500 born in Israel to Ethiopian fathers. In accordance with tradition, the public must examine itself and amend itself socially to be worthy to return to Jerusalem from exile. Think others should know about this? Please share
