Presentation by Former Mossad Agent in Operation Brothers

Saratoga Springs — Congregation Shaara Tfille and The Jewish Community Center of Saratoga Springs will host a presentation from former Mossad Agent Yola Reitman. Reitman will share her leading role impersonating a diving instructor of ‘Operation Brothers’ to rescue Ethiopian Jews. This virtual event will be direct from Israel on Sunday, May 23 at 3 p.m. 

Reitman was recruited by Israeli intelligence agency, the Mossad, to lead the rescue of thousands of Ethiopian Jews who had fled famine and war into neighboring Sudan. 

Reitman played a key role in the mission which was fictionalized in a Netflix feature film titled “The Red Sea Diving Resort.” 

Reitman’s discussion will be accompanied by a slideshow of true pictures alongside the real stories. The program is complimentary, but donations are encouraged to benefit Congregation Shaara Tfille and The Jewish Community Center for future programs.
