A state memorial was held in Yerushalayim’s Mount Herzl Cemetery on Monday for the estimated 4,000 members of the Ethiopian community who died making the gruesome march from Ethiopia to Sudan as they were moser nefesh to make their way to Eretz Yisrael.
Among the speakers was President Shimon Peres, who acknowledged the sacrifice of those who literally gave their lives to return home.
