Inspiring words of Ethiopia-born MK Moshe Solomon (Rel.Zionist Party): 'The boy who was once a shepherd is today in the Knesset of Israel.'
"I, Moses Mousia Solomon, son of the late Zlalo Shimon z"l and Asgadesh, may she be granted long life, stand here before you, filled with emotion, addressing you from this august site.
I stand here today, proud to realize their dream, but fully aware that the journey is not over, and that in many ways, it has just begun.
The young boy who was once a shepherd in Shira, Ethiopia, stands here today in the Knesset of Israel, one of the 120 members of the Great Assembly of our time. The child who trekked for more than a month from Ethiopia to Sudan, the refugee who waited three years to reach his longed-for land – this young boy is now an elected Member of Knesset in the Land of Israel, the land of the Jewish people."
