Chag Sigd Sameach! (Happy Sigd -- a Jewish holiday taking place this year on November 8th through 9th).

Sigd (ስግድ or סגד) is a festival taking place 7 weeks after Yom Kippur, historically marked by Beta Israel Jews (Jews from Ethiopia). They have encouraged Jews worldwide to take on this observance, and we are excited to join a growing movement of communities heeding that call. In this conversation, Lex and Rena Yehuda explore the festival of Sigd, and how it might be able to transform our collective Jewish relationship to the calendar -- and to diverse groups of Jews, across difference -- in meaningful ways.
