    WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub.

    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2021 2021, Vol. 8, No. 1, 270-290 ISSN: 2149-1291 http://dx.doi.org/10.29333/ejecs/665 Between Cultures and Generations: Ethnic Activism of 1.5 Generation Immigrant Leaders Rachel Sharaby1 Ashkelon Academic College, Israel Abstract: This article discusses ethnic activism in advancing a religious holiday in the absorbing society among 1.5 generation social-political activists who immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia. The findings show that syncretism was created in the identity, and in the organization and leadership patterns of the Ethiopian leaders that reflected their goals. By displaying symbols of their ethnic identity, they struggled over the right of their excluded minority group to ethnic otherness and its inclusion in the collective space. They stressed the importance of these ethnic celebrations as a factor that unifies the people and the symmetry of this unity. They served as a bridge between generations, between tradition and modernity, and between the absorbing and the absorbed. The article supplies essential insights on how young leaders use their ethnic tradition as a resource for the recruitment of cultural, social, and political capital for uniting a minority group and integrating it into society. Keywords: 1.5 generation, holiday, identity, immigrants, leadership, syncretism. Israeli society is a society of immigrants who arrived in waves from different countries and communities worldwide, including Ethiopia (Reichman, 2009), who are the subject of this article. This article comprises part of a comprehensive study that investigated the ritual dynamics of the Sigd, a religious holiday of Ethiopian immigrants in Israel, from a multigenerational perspective, including elderly spiritual leaders (Sharaby, 2020a) and the youth of this community (Sharaby, 2020b).

  • The Law of Return
    Educator’s Guide The Law of Return This episode discusses the “ingathering of exiles” or “kibbutz galuyot.” Israel has brought Jews from around the world to their homeland since its inception. One of Ben-Gurion’s great visions, a state that welcomes any and all Jews, the Israeli government paid more than lip service about these ideals and absorbed immigrants from across the world. From Operation Magic Carpet for Yemenite Jews in the 1950’s, to Operations Moses and Solomon for Ethiopian Jews in the 80’s and 90’s, Israel has rescued hundreds of thousands of Jews facing persecution. In this video and educator’s guide, students will reflect upon Israel’s relationship with World Jewry. What does it mean to be a Jew in the eyes of the Israeli State? How far will Israel go to take responsibility for Jews worldwide? Ultimately, what is a home?

    Chag HaSigd The Festival of Sigd A Primary School Resource Pack יום מבורך- חג שמח • melkam ba’al • መልካም በዓል (blessed be the holiday) Introduction There are no written sources about the origins of Ethiopian Jews and the historical time they came to Ethiopia. For the most part, history has been preserved orally and has been passed down from generation to generation. The journey of Ethiopian Jews through Sudan is one of the historical, important, and special journeys of the Jewish people in general and of the Ethiopian community in particular. It is intertwined with longings for the Land of Zion, an aspiration to realise an old dream of emmigrating to Jerusalem, to build and understand it and to unite with the Jewish people in our country. Most Ethiopian Jews immigrated to Israel in two major operations. First in Operation Moses which took place in 1984 and second in 1991 with Operation Solomon. As a result of these migrations, about 4,000 members of the community lost their lives in the deserts and refugee camps in Sudan. This educational resource has been created by UJIA. If you’re interested in learning more about our work, please contact Melanie Kelly, Head of Children and Families Education at 1 [email protected] Sigd Sigd is a holiday of the Ethiopian Jewish community. Jews of Ethiopian descent are known as "Beta Israel". The name of the holiday is derived from the Hebrew word for prostration (bowing down), "Sgida". During Sigd, which is celebrated on the 29th of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan – 50 days after Yom Kippur, the community marks the renewal of the covenant or promise between the Jewish people, God, and the Torah.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 I S F 7-S/f9 OF POLITICAL AND Abstract This thesis is an ethnographic study of the Ethiopian Jews, or Beta Israel, a few years after their migration from rural Ethiopian to urban Israel. For the Beta Israel, the most significant issue is not, as is commonly assumed, adaptation to modem society, which to a large extent they have successfully achieved. But rather, their primary concerns revolve around the notion o f “belonging” in their new homeland, and the loss of control they are experiencing over their lives and those o f their children. The thesis analyses the experience of immigration from the Beta Israel’s own perspective and focuses on: first, the factors which contribute to the Beta Israel’s sense of well-being in Israel, second, the problems and difficulties they experience, and finally, the strategies they are developing to overcome these difficulties.

  • LESSON PLAN by Deb Kram
    “Israel Celebrates Ethiopian Jewish Holiday” LESSON PLAN by Deb Kram LESSON AT A GLANCE Students will categorize each Jewish holiday as either Biblical, Rabbinic, or modern in origin. Then students will learn about Sigd through a video and Jewish text study. Finally, students will be asked to categorize Sigd as either Biblical, Rabbinic, or modern in origin in order to add it to their chart of Jewish holidays. OBJECTIVES • Students will learn or review the origins of Jewish holidays. • Students will be introduced to Sigd, an Ethiopian Jewish holiday. ACTIVITY: Sigd: Israel’s Newest Holiday 1. List the holidays. As a class, list the Jewish holidays and holy days in a given calendar year. Some holidays are Biblically commanded, others were mandated in the Rabbinic period, and still others are outcomes of modern Jewish history. Which of these days are Biblically commanded? [Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simhat Torah, Pesach, Shavuot, Shabbat, Rosh Hodesh] Which are Rabbinically mandated or originate in Rabbinic texts? [Hanukkah, Tu B’Shevat, Purim, Lag B’Omer, Tisha B’Av, minor fast days] Which are celebrated or commemorated as an outcome of modern Jewish history? [Yom Ha’atzmaut, Yom Yerushalayim, Yom Hashoah, Yom Hazikaron] Categorize the holidays in a chart that looks something like this: Biblically commanded days Rabbinically mandated days Outcomes of modern Jewish history 2. Introduce Sigd. Explain to students that they will now learn about another Jewish holiday, called Sigd. Sigd is celebrated on the 29th of Heshvan, or Hadar, as the month is known by Beta Yisrael (Ethiopian Jews). This date is seven weeks after Yom Kippur, signifying the renewal of the covenant between God, the Jewish people, and the Torah.
