"Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee" (Genesis 12:1)
As some of you may know, in the last year I became 'a paparazzi' in weddings that take place at the Ethiopian church in Jerusalem, of Ethiopian, and (even more) Eritrean (illegal) immigrants to Israel.
It took me some time to notice that at these ceremonies you see young (and, sometimes, beautiful) people, you see their young children and babies; but you don't see older people, neither adolescent ones. These immigrants left their country, are building a new life in Israel, while leaving behind them their families, and, probably, most of their past.
It's hard to be an immigrant; it's harder when you immigrate as you have to run away; it's three times harder if you have to leave behind you most of your family and past.
