The Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel is celebrating the Sigd holiday today with events and prayers in Jerusalem. For the family of Haymanot Kasau, the girl who disappeared in Safed nearly a thousand days ago, the holiday takes on a particularly painful meaning. The family is participating in the main events, including at the Haas Promenade and the Western Wall, while calling for mutual responsibility, solidarity, and community accountability. The family's focal point is the protest tent set up at Shimon Agranat Square in Jerusalem. During the events, booths and discussion circles are being held to tell Haymanot's story, update on the investigation file details, and continue demanding that the case be transferred to the Shin Bet. In less than two weeks, it will be a thousand days since her disappearance; she was last seen at the absorption center in Safed on February 25, 2024, when she was nine years old.
