From Addis to Tel Aviv: An Evening of Ethiopian Flavors, Stories & Sigd
Monday, November 9 | 7:00–9:00 PM
Celebrate Sigd, one of the most meaningful holidays of Ethiopian Jewish tradition, through Ethiopian food, storytelling, music, and art. The evening begins at 7:00 PM with traditional Ethiopian food and a chance to learn about Sigd, its traditions, and its significance in Ethiopian Jewish culture.
At 8:00 PM, International Emmy-winning writer Yossi Vassa, creator of the Israeli sitcom “Nevsu,” and illustrator Yarden Vassa present a visual book talk on their award-winning graphic novel “The Last Day to Dress Up.” Through animation, live painting, and illustrated readings, they share how 10-year-old Yossi’s journey from Ethiopia to Israel became a heartfelt superhero story. The program is in English.
