The paper deals with the adjustment problems of children of immigrant parents coming from Ethiopia based on a secondary analysis of the available research material. Three aspects of adjustment are discussed: 1. the aspect common to all immigrants who are leaving an established way of life and starting a new one in a different and unknown country; 2. adjustment from the perspective of children, especially immigrant children; and 3. the specific problems of the Ethiopian children in Israel. Among all the immigrants the culture and community structure of the Ethiopian Jews was the less known and the most remote from the Israeli western-type urban society. The paper analyzes different facets of the effects of the culture shock from the perspective of the Ethiopian children in Israel: the trauma of migration, ethnicity, loss of home, communication barriers and identities; the culture of the home and the culture of the school and ways of solution for living in two cultures
