Asher Naim, former Ambassador from Israel to Ethiopia, visited with the 5th and 6th hour 9th grade Geography classes today about Operation Solomon, a 1991 Israeli military operation where 14,325 Ethiopian Jews were airlifted to Israel.
The focus of his presentation included a partial history of the ancient community of Jews in Ethiopia, the political situation in Ethiopia that led to the airlift, and the integration of Ethiopians into Israeli society.
Southwest strive to bring today's news into the classroom. The mare relevant we can make the study of the various subjects, the more meaningful to the students.
Many of the Southwest teacher's have guest speakers to discuss with the students current events, career opportunities and the role of education in the world.
