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 β an ethnic group of southeastern Nigeria β 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.
