Falash Mura get both tracks
Not "one or the other". Falash Mura receive professional accompaniment at a dedicated absorption center + the standard klita basket. The reason: more complex absorption (conversion, no Ethiopian docs, no in-country network).
Non-Falash-Mura olim
Other Ethiopian-Israeli olim (Operation Moses, Solomon, etc.) get only the standard klita basket. Professional accompaniment ends after the center period (if you were in one).
