The opening as it read in 2010
Yona Bogale was the first leader of the Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel.1In the 1920s, Yona Bogale was sponsored by Jacques Faitlovitch to study abroad. He spent two years in British Mandate Palestine, four in Germany , one in Switzerland , and one in France . After returning to Addis Ababa around 1930, he taught in the Faitlovitch school there.
