Discover Sigd, a little-known Jewish holiday with a rich history and powerful traditions. Join Rabbi Ruth Abusch-Magder, Ph.D., to explore the origins of Sigd, its distinctive rituals and practices, and its themes of humility, repentance, devotion, and hope. We’ll also consider how this ancient holiday has evolved as Ethiopian Jewish communities have made their homes in Israel.
