Sigd: Ethiopian Jewish Celebration

Join in the celebration of the traditional Ethiopian Jewish holiday of Sigd, which commemorates the communal gatherings held in Jerusalem in the days of the prophets Ezra and Nehemia. In Ethiopia, the community gathers on the highest mountain, reads from the Torah and prays for their return to Jerusalem. Our celebration includes a festive Ethiopian Torah service, traditional Ethiopian foods, music and dance. $30/$25 Members of Chassida Shmella and BINA Date & Time: Sun, Sep 21, 2008, 2:00pm Location: Lexington Avenue at 92nd Street Directions Code: T-BL5JH04-01 Price: $30.00
