A Life-Changing Journey: Roots Mission 2013
In March 2013, 15 teenagers from Pardes Channa-Karkur, Israel, went on a 10-day trip to Ethiopia, on a mission called “Roots,” to gain a better understanding of the sacrifices and difficulties their parents and grandparents had to endure to give them a more prosperous life as Israelis.
Many described moments of the trip, such as witnessing the extreme poverty in some locations, as “heartbreaking.”
