Join our resident shaliach, Yedidya Yasu, to learn about the ancient Ethiopian-Jewish holiday of Sigd. This festival signifies the renewal of the covenant between the Jewish people and G-d, akin to the receiving of the Torah. It's a time of fasting and purification, followed by joyous celebration and reflection on the community's deep faith and history.
This is a unique opportunity to experience a Jewish holiday, which will be new to many, in a truly special and engaging manner. Come taste traditional Ethiopian-Jewish cuisine, learn new customs, and engage with stories that span millennia.
To help make these gatherings possible, we’re asking for a $12 ticket contribution, which allows us to continue offering these enriching experiences to the community. That being said, The St. Paul Jewish Federation believes that no Jew should ever feel alone. If the cost of attending is a barrier, please reach out to Yedidya at shlichut@stpaulfed.org - we are committed to making our events accessible to everyone.
