Maly Gadai Jackson |
At the age of seven years old, Maly walked for three weeks from Ethiopia to Sudan
together with her mother, fleeing Ethiopia
and the religious and political strife that threatened the lives of the Ethiopian Jews in 1984. Maly will share the inspirational
story of her modern-day exodus, which was part of Operation Moses, one of the largest secret operations of all time.
You will be given an opportunity to make a gift to the
Tampa JCC & Federation's 2015 annual campaign at the event.
