ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA - MARCH 14: Jewish Ethiopian students walk to their classes at the Beta Israel School March 14, 2003 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. After airlifting more than 22,000 Ethiopian Jews in 1984, and 1991, and satisfied that all qualified Jews had left Ethiopia in the airlifts, the Israeli government closed down its offices in Addis Ababa. However, in recent years, those Jews who were left behind have moved from their villages to Addis Ababa and are waiting for the Israeli government to accept them under the "Law of Return." Nearly 17,000 Ethiopian Jews awaiting aliyah, or emigration to Israel, live in Addis Ababa and the northern city of Gondar. For reasons that include a limited paper trail authenticating their Jewish identity, conversions to Christianity by grandparents, or a reluctance on the part of Israel to accept more Ethiopian refugees, the Ethiopian Jews have lingered around in compounds waiting indefinitely.
