The Ethiopian holiday Sigd (ሰግድ), celebrated on the 29th of the Jewish month Chesvan, 50 days after Yom Kippur, symbolizes the connection to Judaism and Israel, the giving of the law. After years of effort, Sigd received recognition as a national holiday in August 2008. This year, the 29th of Chesvan falls on November 2, 2013.
