Can Israelis of Ethiopian origin train Rwandans?

It has been claimed that Ethiopian Israelis have provided training for a Rwandan youth village.

It has been claimed that a delegation of Rwandan education officials recently spent a week in Israel learning how to set up a youth village for the multitudes of children who were left orphans by the horrific 1994 genocide.

Their model? The Yemin Orde Youth Village – which has raised thousands of Israeli children of Ethiopian origin, who suffered through similar stories of parent separation, trauma and displacement. And in a triumphant circle, some of those Israelis – now skilled adults – will soon be traveling to Rwanda to help set up and run the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village

Is this factual?
Jim W is wrong.

The standard Jewish religious decisors have ruled that the Ethiopian who regard themselves as Jewish are indeed Jewish.

It is a bit difficult to integrate these Jews into Israeli society, but they are becoming integrated.

Now just imagine trying to integrate Jews into “Palestinian” society. They would be murdered by the Arabs at the very first opportunity.

Which gauge would be best for starting up a layout for model railroading?

Space is not an issue. I’m hoping for one with the greatest variety of trains, cars, and accesories. And can tracks and trains(motors) from different manufactures be used together?

Confirm or deny: did idea for imperial walkers in stars wars movies come from the Oakland Port Cranes?

As I travel back and forth accross the Port on BART trains, I have heard passengers say that the imperial walkers in the star wars movies were taken from the cranes in use at the port of Oakland, and the Empire’s fortress is modeled on the Oakland Main Post Office. Is any of this true? Please don’t just confirm that you have heard this as well. I would like to really find out, so if you can point to sources for interviews where this has been addressed, please help.
