20.11.2006 - Ethiopian Jews pray at the Sherover Promenade in Talpiyot overlooking Jerusalem, during the Sigd holiday.<br />
The prayer is performed by Ethiopian Jews every year to celebrate their community's connection and commitment to Israel. About 80,000 Ethiopian Jews live in Israel, many of them came in massive Israeli airlifts during times of crisis in Ethiopia in 1984 and 1991.<br />
