Israeli President Ezer Weizman canceled the award of an education prize to a Lubavitch school that allegedly refused to admit Ethiopian children. Weizman’s decision came after Ethiopian-born Knesset member Adisu Massala urged him to make the move. A spokesman for the school said no member of the Ethiopian community in Israel had ever asked to attend the school in Kiryat Malachi.
