Abstract

Jonny is an Eritrean refugee in his 30s, who lives with his wife and daughter in Tel Aviv, Israel. Jonny was forcefully recruited to the Eritrean army in 2007. On February 5 2009, when guarding the Ethiopian border at night, he crossed the border and simply walked away. Today, Jonny is the sole owner of a kindergarten and daycare center for children of the Eritrean community. Overcoming the many barriers resulting from an institutional void in Tel Aviv, Jonny has a powerful story—about an asylum seeker in Tel Aviv, who is also an entrepreneur and community leader, bricoleuring in an institutional void.

A worldwide definition of an immigrant who seeks to be recognized as a refugee and be protected by the first safe state s/he enters after fleeing from her/his homeland. Being an asylum seeker puts one in an intermediate state in which an immigrant waits for an answer to a formal request to be recognized as a refugee.
