Shlomo Molla (Hebrew: שלמה מולה, Amharic: ሰሎሞን ሞላ; born November 21, 1965) is an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Kadima and Hatnuah between 2008 and 2013. He became Israel's second MK of Ethiopian origin.[1] He later joined the Meretz party.[2]

Biography

Molla was born in a small Jewish village of 40 families in Gondar Province in Ethiopia in 1965 into a family of 9 brothers and 2 sisters. Molla attempted to immigrate to Israel in 1984 on foot, after being overlooked by Operation Moses and Operation Joshua.

He was rescued by Israeli forces in Sudan; during his journey in Sudan, one of the Ethiopian Jews traveling with him was shot and killed by Sudanese forces. Upon his arrival in Israel, he was sent to an immigrant absorption center in Safed. While suffering from malaria at the time of his arrival, he began learning Hebrew during his stay in the hospital.

After his national service in the Israel Defense Forces, he studied for a BA in social work at Bar-Ilan University. During his studies he served as co-chairman of the Organization of Ethiopian Students. He later also gained an LLB from Ono Academic College.

Career

In 1991, he became head of a Jewish Agency immigrant absorption center in Tiberias, and in 1995 was appointed supervisor of the absorption centers and ulpans in northern kibbutzim.

In 1996 he became a member of the Ministry of Health's committee to advise on war conditions, and in 1999 he became head of the Jewish Agency's Ethiopian Division. In the same year Molla won eighth place on Yisrael BaAliyah's list for the Knesset elections,[3] but the party won only six seats. In 2006, he was a member of the Zionist Executive and head of department at the World Zionist Organization.

Knesset tenure

Prior to the 2006 elections he was placed thirty-third on Kadima's list. However, following the resignation of Avigdor Yitzhaki in February 2008, Molla became the second MK of Ethiopian origin.[4] He was placed nineteenth on the Kadima list for the 2009 elections, and retained his seat as the party won 28 mandates.

As a member of the Knesset, Molla advocated for a two-state solution.[5] In 2012, he left Kadima to join the new Hatnuah party. Placed eighth on its list for the 2013 elections,[6] he lost his seat when the party won only six seats.

Post-Knesset career

In 2015, he encouraged Ethiopian-Israelis to refuse to pay taxes or to serve in the Israeli armed forces to protest racist acts against Ethiopian-Israelis such as the police assault on Demas Fikadey.[7] In 2019, Molla announced he joined Meretz.[2]

Personal life

Molla is married with three children, and lives in Rishon LeZion.

Mean value theorem

On the existence of a tangent to an arc parallel to the line through its endpoints For the theorem in harmonic function theory, see Harmonic function § The mean value property. In mathematics, the mean value theorem (or Lagrange's mean value theorem) states, roughly, that for a given planar arc between two endpoints, there is at least one point at which the tangent to the arc is parallel to the secant through its endpoints. It is one of the most important results in real analysis. This ...
