The Holiday of Sigd

The Ethiopian Jewish Community
Since they historically lived far from most other Jews, the Beta Israel community developed their own customs and traditions over time. One example is Sigd, now a national holiday in Israel.

Recipes, Music, and More
In Israel, the month leading up to the pilgrimage holiday of Sigd is marked by a celebration of Ethiopian Jewish culture. Your family can join in this celebration, too!
