Education and Culture Minister Zevulun Hammer has appointed a panel of educational experts to coordinate efforts to improve the cultural and social absorption of Ethiopian Jewish immigrants. Hammer did this after consulting with a number of Ethiopian immigrants. Many complained that their absorption was difficult because many Israelis did not relate to them as Jews and Zionists.
