Northeastern University professor William Miles has been
conducting research in West Africa for more than 30 years.
So it came as a surprise to him that he learned only
recently of a growing Jewish community in Nigeria's capital
city of Abuja. Nigeria is about half Muslim and half Christian. Animism is
practiced as well. But now, thousand of Igbos — an ethnic
group of southeastern Nigeria — have adopted Judaism. In his forthcoming book "Jews of Nigeria: An Afro-Judaic
Odyssey," Miles shares life stories from the community, as
well as his own experiences, as he celebrates Hanukkah and a
Bar Mitzvah with "Jubos" in Abuja.
