00:00Thousands of Ethiopian Jews gathered in Jerusalem on Monday to mark the Holy Day of Sigt.
00:08Religious leaders known as Qesim led the community in prayer.
00:14It's one of the few holidays unique to the Ethiopian Jewish community.
00:20Some 180,000 Ethiopian Jews live in Israel.
00:26We met with all the tribes and tribes which didn't come yet, but with help of God they will come.
00:33All twelve will come, God willing.
00:36Some have still not returned, but some have returned.
00:41There's good integration today, blessed be God.
00:44Our people are successful, this generation made progress.
00:47We have good integration with our neighbours, the Israeli people.
00:57In 2008, Israel's Knesset declared Sigt an official state holiday, but it's yet to become
01:04an integral part of the Jewish calendar.
