Description
In 1973 Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the Sephardi chief rabbi of Israel, decreed that the community of "Beta Israel" is a descendant tribe of Israel. In the absence of full diplomatic relations with Ethiopia, the Israeli Mossad contacted officials in Sudan, which is adjacent to Ethiopia. Thousands of Beta Israel community from Ethiopia traveled by foot to the border with Sudan, and waited there in temporary camps until they were flown to Israel. Between the years 1977 and 1984, these immigrants were led from those camps to Israel by means of vessels of the Israeli Sea Corps and airplanes. Until Operation Moses, about 8,000 made a dangerous journey to Israel during which about 4,000 Beta Israel perished from disease or hunger or were killed by bandits. This portrait was painted in Jerusalem from a live model.
This is a signed original work painted in oil on canvas by Esther Newman Cohen.
