Last year, Yossi and Ruti Turetsky published a ground-breaking comic book for adolescents called “The Journey to Ethiopia in the Footsteps of Beta Israel” bringing the story of Ethiopian Jews into the mainstream of Jewish history and curriculum taught in Israeli schools.   It was a smash success, and they are now working on Book #2 – the history of Ethiopian Jewish leader Yona Bogale and the many Ethiopian Jewish Prisoners of Zion.

Now Yossi and Ruti need your help to get “Yona Bogale and the Prisoners of Zion” published.   Please go to their crowd funding site at https://headstart.co.il/project/58446?lang=en and learn more about it.   Make a donation!   They need to raise at least $20,000 to get it completed, printed and distributed to schools and children.

A message from Yossi and Ruti:

Dear Friends!
For anyone who has asked what’s going on with the sequel to our first comic book “The Journey to Ethiopia in the Footsteps of Beta Israel” … we are excited to inform you that we have initiated a Headstart crowd-funding project for our second comic book in the series.   The second book in the series will deal with the heroic leader Yona Bogale and the prisoners of Zion who worked with him in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

This is a fascinating story that the Israeli public has not yet been exposed to neither visually nor in writing.   We took on this task in the belief that this book, like its predecessor, will lead to a real association with the history & culture of the Ethiopian community.

To succeed in the task, we need your support in this project.  Please join us and be a partner in this strategic educational project!   Please go to: https://bit.ly/2CMt2jM       Watch the video and please help!   Toda reba!
