Pnina Tamano-Shata: Home Sweet Home en:Yesh Atid political party, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons With her father, five brothers and thousands of other Ethiopian Jews, three-year-old Pnina Tamano-Shata trekked on foot under the blazing sun across an African desert from Ethiopia all the way to Sudan. Operation Moses, a clandestine and daring escapade that took two months, was done in coordination with the IDF, Mossad, Sudan and the CIA. The November 1984 journey was perilous. Starvation, dehydration and brutal attacks by militia groups saw to it that 4,000 died in the desert and also in the intermittent Sudanese refugee camps, where due to civil war, conditions were wretched and quickly deteriorating. On reaching the Sudanese refugee camps, planes were waiting to fly Pnina, her family and other Falasha Jews to Israel. Tragically, her mother was left behind.
