Operation Solomon: Miraculous Airlift of Ethiopian Jews

On May 24 and 25, 1991 an unprecedented airlift known as Operation Solomon transported over 14,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel. JDC assisted in the negotiation and planning of the rescue mission, which capped the comprehensive health and welfare program that JDC had mounted in Addis Ababa over the preceding 12 months for those seeking to make aliyah.

Twenty years after the historic event, JDC continues to support and help integrate Ethiopian Israelis into Israeli society. With dozens of nation-wide programs strengthening the lives of Ethiopian Israelis of all ages, JDC helps ensure advancements in early childhood education, employment, and national service.

Logging In With One of Your Social Web Site Logins

Instead of trying to remember a bunch of special username/password combinations to log in to different web sites that you visit, you can now link your account on this web site to your account on one (or more) of the social media web sites shown and log in with the same username/password combination that you use on that social web site to log in to our site.

To provide this connection in a secure manner, we use Gigya, a social network connection provider that works behind the scenes to make safe, secure connections between user accounts on different systems, such as popular social media web sites like Facebook and web sites like ours where you are actively involved in social issues and causes.

Each time you log in, Gigya uses special application programming interfaces (APIs) to establish the connection between the sites and validate your username and password. Neither our web site or Gigya receive or store your social network passwords.

In addition to reducing the number of logins you have to remember, connecting your accounts can make it quicker and easier to share an activity or cause you feel passionately about from our web site with your friends on your social web sites.

You can break the connection between your accounts at any time.
