Alalyn Caseh, 40 years old, married and father of four, is a member of the community of the remainder of Ethiopian Jews awaiting to complete aliyah. Caseh arrived in Israel under unfortunate circumstances – to visit his mother, who is suffering from a dire illness, and whom he hasn’t seen in 20 years. When Caseh asked to come to Israel, the Ministry of Interior demanded he pay a deposit of 30 thousand NIS before entering, in order to guarantee his return to Ethiopia. The money was collected, and Caseh remained in Israel a month and a half, until 30 days after his mother’s passing.
