Ambassador Raphael Morav and Addis Ababa Mayor Adanech Abiebie during discussion of Ethiopian Jewish community. https://twitter.com/AdanechAbiebie/status/1361631169528356865/photo/2
Ambassador Raphael Morav did not plan to move to Israel, his parents brought him there when he was still in primary school. He did not plan to become a diplomat, he simply saw a listing for jobs, took a test, and got in. He never planned on becoming the Ambassador of Israel to Ethiopia, but that is the position that opened up at the time and he applied. Lastly, Ambassador Morav never planned on completely changing Ethiopian Jewish life, Israel’s recognition of Jews or perceptions of Jews in Addis Ababa
