A Story of Covenant and Longing: Ethiopian Jews and Jerusalem

Thursday, November 12, 2026

18:00–19:00

Yad Izhak Ben Zvi, זום

In this lecture we will meet the unique story of Ethiopian Jewry and hear about the Sigd holiday, which preserved the community and its longing for Jerusalem through the years of separation. We will close by getting to know the story of heroism and sacrifice of those who perished on the way, as commemorated in the unique memorial to Ethiopian immigrants on Mount Herzl.
