יהודי אתיופיה חוגגים את חג הסיגד בירושלים

הערכה

Several hundred Ethiopian Jews gathered in Jerusalem for Sigd, wearing white and praying in Ge'ez on the Armon Hanatziv promenade. The holiday, falling 50 days after Yom Kippur, blends religious ritual with communal memory of migration. The celebration shows how a distinct liturgical tradition and cultural practices like ululation remain central to this community's identity in Israel. Watch for how younger generations balance preserving these ancient rites with integration into broader Israeli society.
