Two Letters Tell Two Stories

(January 8) Two letters just received by the Degel Menashe Website tell two stories, only one of which has (so far) a happy ending. Both concern the new group of B’nei Menashe olim that recently arrived in Israel. The first letter is about Malka Zote, who landed in Israel earlier this week with four other young B’nei Menashe women from Mizoram and Manipur. (See today’s story “A Saga of Three Sisters.”) The second letter has to do with Joel and Dana Chhakchhuak, whom we wrote about in our Newsletter of December 10. (See our story from that date, “Mood Is Mixed.”) Both letters appear in full on our Letters & Opinion page.
