Ethiopian Israelis celebrate Sigd in Jerusalem.
Ethiopian Israelis, also known as Beta Israel, celebrated Sigd, which celebrates their longing for the return to Israel. It is celebrated 50 days after Yom Kippur. Although its origin is Ethiopia, Sigd is also celebrated in Jerusalem. It became an official holiday in Israel in 2008. This year’s celebration included prayers for unity, rebuilding of the temple, and the release of Avraham Mengistu and the other 100 hostages held in Gaza.
