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!

Haggadah

A Time to Hope

Winter Holidays
The Jewish holidays between November and March — Sigd, Hanukkah, Tu B'Shevat, and Purim — are joyful celebrations of hope. Our new winter guide has resources to help your family celebrate all four.

Download for Free
Families in North America will receive a printed version of A Time to Hope. Need additional copies? Download the guide for free or purchase on Amazon.com or Amazon.ca.
