مهرجان الكرد في إسرائيل سهرانا 2009 Israeli Kurdish Jews Festival seherane

thanks to user: hemiitz for the clip

Kurdish Jewry returned to Israel as early as the 16th century and there was another move in 1830. There was a small move in the early 1920s and again in 1935, with the community numbering between 20-30,000 before the official establishment of the Jewish State. The major move was during Operation Ezra and Nehemiah (1950-1951), when most of the community returned to Israel. The Kurdish Jewish community in Israel is now estimated at over 160,000 strong.
Singer: Moshe Mamoko
From the time of Operation Ezra and Nehemiah, Seharane celebrations effectively ceased for a period of two decades. During Succot 5732 (1972), a decision was made by the newly formed National Council of the Association of Kurdish Jewry to re-instate the festivities, but not after Pesach, which was already traditionally marked in Israel by the Mimouna (not only a Moroccan, but a national event). The idea of celebrating the Seharane at the following Shavuot (1973) was modified to Tu B'Av (15th Av), following appeals by senior members of the community and Sephardi Chief Rabbi, Ovadia Yosef. However, security considerations prevented the first gathering on Tu B'Av that year.

It was not until the intermediate days of Succot in 5735 (1975) that the first Seaharane was celebrated in Israel. Since that first occasion, it has become a public celebration, visited by religious and political dignatories, and marked by picnics, accompanied by traditional music and dancing. It is also an opportunity to join in with, or clap hands along with the musicians and dancers in the traditional dress of wide turbans, loose girdled shirts and loose trousers, as they pipe the zerna, drum the dola, and move gracefully among the crowds.

Once again, the Kurdish Jewish community is able to dance and sing to the sounds of their compelling music, and to offer the hospitality for which they are famed, but now as a mainstream Israeli celebration as the whole country is on holiday to join in. Celebrations this year held at at The Israeli Capital Jerusalem.
