Prayers for Sigd Psalm 122 Inserts Translated from Hebrew by Mark A. Schneegurt

Foreword The Jews of Ethiopia may arise from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba as their tradition suggests. They were without Hebrew until the Semetic invasion of the Horn of Africa in the 4th century CE. Sacred texts have been passed down mainly in Amharic. Certain texts are known in Agau, an earlier indigenous language. Sigd is a Jewish holiday on Cheshvan 29 found only in the Ethiopian community. This is a Law-giving holiday with strong connections to a return to Jerusalem through following the Law. The community assembles on a hilltop and fasts initially. Torah sections related to the giving of the Law are read, with special emphasis on Ezra in Nehemiah. There are liturgical prayers and yizkor is said. The day ends with festivities, feasting, music, and dancing into the night. A traditional reading, limited to Sigd, is the unique prayers inserted into Psalm 122. These inserts for Psalm 122 appear to follow after v2, contain v3, and continue until v4. The original text is in Agau and likely dates to before the Semetic invasion. It has been transalliterated and translated into Hebrew relatively recently. The current English translation was generated from this Hebrew version. It is difficult to say whether Sigd is a later addition to the mainstream Jewish calendar, arising in Ethiopia, or if Sigd is a more ancient holiday lost to modern Jews. The lack of holidays in Cheshvan has long been puzzling. Coming 50 days after the High Holidays, Sigd has symmetry with Passover and Shavuot. Both involve holidays of redemption leading to holidays of Lawgiving. While not a perfect translation, mine appears to be the first translation into English of the Psalm 122 inserts. Melkom behal!
