For many generations, the Beta Israel had longed to reach Jerusalem in a quest to renew their covenant with God and for spiritual redemption. So strong was their desire that they created a holiday as a time to pray for this miracle. They called it Sigd (meaning “worship”) and celebrated it on the 50th day after Yom Kippur. This year it is celebrated today, November 4.
