Operation Moses
This event has passed.
Delve into the history and impact of Operation Moses, a pivotal moment in the journey of the Ethiopian Jewish community, at the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU on Monday, April 8.
This event explores the daring rescue of over 10,000 Ethiopian Jews (Beta Israel) from famine and civil war in 1984. For centuries, this community longed to return to their ancestral homeland, Israel.
Join a distinguished panel discussion featuring individuals who played a part in Operation Moses or documented this historic event. Hear firsthand accounts and gain insights into the Ethiopian Jewish community.
The program also includes an exhibition showcasing artifacts and photographs that bring this remarkable rescue mission to life. Two of the panelists are also featured artists in the exhibition. The event opens with welcome remarks by Deputy Consul General Mike Driquez of the Consulate General of Israel in Miami.
Operation Moses is presented by FIU's Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs, in collaboration with the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU.
