About Sigd
Fifty days after Yom Kippur, Ethiopian Jews, also known as Beta Israel, rededicate themselves to Torah. Traditionally, Ethiopian Jews would follow the Kes (spiritual leader) up a mountain, in commemoration of Moses receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai. Today, Ethiopian Jews fast, read psalms, and listen to the Kes read from the Orit (the first eight books of the Bible), followed by feasting, dancing, and partying!
