Ethiopian says what

Today we drove to a city north of Tel Aviv. We went to a community center in an Ethiopian neighborhood. There we listened to a lawyer give us the quick history of his people. He told us the story of his specific town's immigration from Ethiopia into Sudan and then to Israel. Civil war broke out in Ethiopia and many Jews decided to leave their homes for refuge in Sudan. Seeing as they were already fleeing they figured they might as well go all the way to Israel, the land of their forefathers. So this man's small community of about 300 up and left their homes with some Sudanese peoples who had made the same immigration. They were traveling on foot when suddenly Shabbat came and the Ethiopians told the Sudanese they could not travel for a day. The Sudanese could not understand and told them that if they stayed where they were they would die and they left them. The Ethiopians would not be moved and they stayed till the end of Shabbat. By 10 AM the next morning they had run out of water and the children began crying and the people were in serious trouble. So the men went out and looked for water even though there were no animals around, a clear sign that there was no water. At around noon a man decided to dig under a pile of rocks and water sprung out of the ground. They finished Shabbat and kept moving. The next day the Sudanese found them and, once they had heard about the water situation, told the Ethiopians that they had traveled the same route for years and had never known of a water supply. The Ethiopians had found an abundant water supply that had remained hidden from the frequenters of the land. Amazing, right? They continue their journey and finally make it close to the boarder of Sudan. On the boarder is a big city, though; a city that the Ethiopians could not afford to go through because of suspicion. So they circumvent the city and go towards the boarder. In the midst of this part of their journey they were severely low on water and a group of armed horsemen came riding up. They told the people that they knew they were Jews and that they were not getting into Sudan at gunpoint; the Ethiopians were devastated. The two parties started to talk and it turned out that one of the gunmen knew one of the families in the group and told his fellow gunmen that they would not harm these Jews in any way and that they'd help them get to Sudan. They show the Ethiopians where to find water and escorted them the rest of the way to the boarder: another miracle.
After listening to this story we were fed Ethiopian food and then made pottery with some woman.
