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 realize an old dream of emigrating to Jerusalem, to build and understand it and to unite with the Jewish people in our country.

Use these primary school resources to teach and explore the Ethiopian holiday of Sigd.

In-SITE-ful Journeys

Hear the story of innovation in early childhood and family engagement from someone who’s doing it. Our In-SITE-ful Journeys and Journals engage and connect colleagues in ongoing learning through “site visits” to area schools, virtual learning opportunities, and community field trips. Visits to schools invite educators to observe teachers and students and see adaptations of change in early childhood practice first hand. Participants interact with directors and teacher-leaders to learn how each made their vision a reality and our Site Visit Journals capture it all.
