In August 2025, Tel Aviv University quietly marked a milestone that deserves more than a passing headline: the promotion of Dr. Anbessa Teferra, an Ethiopian-born linguist, to full professor.
It is a personal victory for a man who left Addis Ababa in the late 1980s with advanced degrees in linguistics and an unshakable belief in the power of education. It is also a national milestone: Teferra was already the first Ethiopian immigrant to be appointed senior lecturer at any Israeli university, back in 2015. Now, with this promotion, he has broken another barrier in a system where Ethiopian-Israelis remain vastly underrepresented in the highest ranks of academia.
The hard truth about representation
Israel has no shortage of ceremonial “firsts.” But they too often function as photo opportunities, untethered from systemic change. Teferra’s achievement is different. It was not bestowed; it was earned, over decades of work that bridged two worlds.
Born in Ethiopia in 1962, he completed his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in linguistics at Addis Ababa University, where he taught for five years before immigrating to Israel in 1989. He mastered Hebrew, earned his PhD in linguistics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem—becoming the first Ethiopian immigrant to do so—and methodically climbed the academic ladder at Tel Aviv University.
