(Jerusalem Post) Jeremy Sharon - Thousands of people from the Ethiopian Jewish community and beyond travelled to the Armon Hanatziv Promenade facing the Old City of Jerusalem on Wednesday to celebrate the Sigd holiday together with the community's elders. Sigd, whose roots are found in the biblical book of Nehemiah, is marked 50 days after Yom Kippur, and encompasses prayers for a return to the Land of Israel. Chief Rabbi of the Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel Rabbi Reuven Wabshat said that after the mass immigration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, the community decided to continue celebrating the holiday. Spiritual leader Kes Mentasnut Govze explained how in Ethiopia the Jewish community would travel to and ascend a mountain on Sigd to pray to God "that we would reach Jerusalem the next year."2019-11-28 00:00:00Full Article
