Israel in the UK 🇮🇱🤝🇬🇧

Happy Sigd!

Sigd is an ancient festival of the Beta Israel community, observed for centuries in Ethiopia.

Historically, the festival brought communities together on mountaintops for prayer and fasting, expressing their enduring faith, their commitment to the Torah and their deep-rooted yearning for Jerusalem.

Today, Sigd remains a powerful celebration of Ethiopian Jewish identity, as well as a reminder of the challenges they faced on their journey to Israel and the continuity of a community that has preserved its distinctive traditions across generations.

Warmest wishes from all of us at the Embassy of Israel in the UK to our friends and colleagues celebrating Diwali across the United Kingdom, India, and around the world! 🪔✨

Thank you for your continued warmth and friendship. Happy Diwali!

Today, we bow our heads alongside the people of the United Kingdom in remembrance of all those who gave their lives in service and sacrifice.

We also remember the Jewish Infantry Brigade and the Jewish soldiers who bravely served in the First and Second World Wars.

We salute their courage, remember their legacy, and stand united in gratitude and remembrance.

Lest we forget 🇮🇱 🇬🇧
