Nigerian Jews!? The Igbo Jews of Nigeria

The Igbo Jews of Southeastern Nigeria have had it rough, both in terms of having their claims to Judaism accepted and historically as Igbo people. However, living in the future, as we are, now is the time to throw out the prejudices of the past and bring them into the fold, or let them bring us into theirs as the case may be.

Join our team of intrepid journalists as we investigate the Igbo Jews of Nigeria, historically, culturally, genetically, spiritually, and perhaps even emotionally on this week's episode of Where Are All The Jews.

More Jews = More good.
