Black foam

Author's name: Haji Jabardar Publishing: Hayat Publications Year of publication: 2023 About the book: Starting from the background that drove the Ethiopian Jews to migrate to Israel, Haji Jaber narrates the story of the misery that pushes young people in poor countries to do everything in order to migrate to a place they believe offers them a better chance in life. He tells us how each of them is willing to steal, take risks, lie, and invent a life different from the one they lived... with one goal: escaping misery and hoping for a better life. This is what Dawiit, who was not Jewish, does; he invents a new personality for himself, changing his name and his history. He does everything possible to be able to leave with the Ethiopian Jews to Israel... and there begins a new suffering he discovers among the migrants with lighter skin who arrived there before him, and he immerses us in their shame, misery, and suffering... then in the lives and misery of those who migrated to the promised land with the dream that it would provide them with a decent life... but this illusion gradually dissipates, and he changes his name again to live another life... but all of this did not save him from the state of fear he lives in... nor from the torn feelings he suffers from, whether because of his skin color or because he is a migrant... Through the novel "Black Foam," you will learn about a world we are unaware of; Haji Jaber delves into its details... into the depths of Dawood's dreams and hopes, his view of life and love... and his intense desire to escape a miserable life. It is a novel of shattered dreams despite all the sacrifices Dawit makes when he begins to learn about a better world.
