My name is Baruch Dago. My family came to Israel from Ethiopia in Operation Solomon, an airlift carried out by the Israeli government in 1991in order to save Ethiopian Jewry from persecution and starvation.
Today, I’m one of Israel’s most popular soccer stars and a role model for Israeli youth.

For me, Israel is a land of opportunity.
