Approaching End of Term, Kertarahayu Village Head Leaves a Message for His Successor: Never Abandon the Sedekah Bumi Tradition

As his term draws to a close, Kertarahayu Village Head, Rudi Catur Pribadi, is passing on a message to the next village leader to keep the Sedekah Bumi tradition alive. He shared this during the Sedekah Bumi celebration in Ciranggon Hamlet on Thursday, June 25, 2026. "I ask the next leader of Kertarahayu not to abandon traditions like this. We must continue to preserve all our ancestral heritage," Rudi said. He also hopes that development programs in the cultural sector will keep getting better. Rudi emphasized that the Sedekah Bumi tradition is a hallmark of Kertarahayu Village, especially Ciranggon Hamlet. This tradition is starting to become rare in the urban areas around Bekasi, so it's important to keep it going so that future generations can still inherit those noble values. https://www.urbanjabar.com/news/9217295164/jelang-akhir-masa-jabatan-kades-kertarahayu-titip-pesan-ke-suksesor-jangan-pernah-tinggalkan-tradisi-sedekah-bumi
