This is a shame.
Abayudaya Jews are Jews.
Racism is not a Jewish value.
Let’s raise our voices in anger and pray in hope for a day when the State of Israel will recognize the entire Jewish people.
Their community has been practicing for over a century, they are Jews through and through. The refusal to let them in is pure racism, and I wish Israel would open its heart.
The fight isn’t over. The Conservative/Masorti movement is petitioning the High Court to reconsider. If you’re an Israeli, please make noise. I no longer believe that the Israeli government listens to diasporic Jews.
One of my family friends is a member of that community and was devastated by this news. Please reblog and share!
