Book Description
Among the 20 to 30 million Igbo people in Nigeria there is a widespread belief that the Igbo originated in ancient Israel. Recently a number of Igbo Jewish communities have been established in Nigeria. Although some Igbo have made their way to Israel, the Israeli public is largely unaware of the fact that that there are in addition of 20 to 30 million people in Nigeria that are called by some, 'the Jews of West Africa.' This book offers for the first time an in-depth study and a genealogical history of the Igbo's long term narrative of a possible Jewish origin.

Book Description
In Genesis 1:27, "So God created Humankind in his image, in the image of God He created them Male and Female". Igbo is the short form of IGBODOANYA, IGBOSHIKWO, IGBOCHIDONKECHINYEREGỊ, AND IGBOKWABA. These four-letter words, IGBO, were/are still the channel whereby humankind replicated/s the Lord God's creation from generation to generation after He created Adam, the first human. The words IGBODOANYA/to persevere, IGBOSHIKWO/to prevent, IGBOCHIDONKECHINYEREGỊ/to protect what god gave you, and IGBOKWABA/to preserve are the primary builders as well as facilitators of the gametes""sex cells when fertilization happens in the fallopian tubes during the formation of humankind. The word Igbo is the representation of an indelible precepts of God's constitution as it relates to the creation of humankind. The four-letter words, Igbo, is the seal, legacy, and continuity of the actions of the spoken words that originated from Chinekengịrị (Chinekengịrị means the God that creates DNA) or in the popular short form, Chineke. Chukwu (Chukwu means Chiukwu), The great God. Chukwu is the short version of Chiukwu. Chiukwu or Chukwu Okike Abraham. Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people always call upon Chukwu Okike Abịama (Abịama means Abraham). Abraham is Abaraham in Igbo. (Abaraham means named after me). Chineke, Chukwu Okike Abịama means the Almighty God and Creator of Abraham and/or God, the Creator. Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people bụ Ndị Hebrew (the Igbos are the Hebrew). Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people are Ụmụ Chineke/Ụmụ Chukwu Okike Abịama/Ụmụ God, and/or Ụmụ Yahweh. The Igbo people are the special skilled builders of Ụmụ Chineke or Ụmụ Chukwu Okike Abịama, the Lord Almighty God. Adam was the only human the Lord God created on earth. It seemed most likely that the archangels, angels, as well as Ndị Igbo were in existence when AtỠna ime otu dị ngỠzị, Chineke nna Onye Okike, Chukwu nwa Onye NzỠpụta na Chukwu MmỠNsỠkere mmadụ mbụ (the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, the Lord God Almighty created the first human). The Lord God assigned to Ndị Igbo/Igbo people who were one of those that were around Him to always continue to perform His divine special tasks of creation for the benefit of humankind. The Lord God bụ Agbara Ukwu. The Lord God kajara akaja. The Lord God jiri aka ya dịrị onwe ya. The Lord God enweghị ishi mbido. The Lord God enweghị ishi ngwụria. The Lord God bụ onye kere ụwa na ihe nile dị na elu ụwa. The archeologists, creationists, atheists, evolutionists, etc. believe that humankind originated from a single couple parent source. Therefore, there should be no such concept as the black race, white race, and/or human slavery. The purpose of the documentation is not to blame the colonial team who coined out "the N-word" slave country named Nigeria, or praise the victims from the southern protectorates who had been dehumanized since 1914. The purpose of the documentation is to bring to the attention of the oppressors and encourage them to stop annihilating Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people indirectly. The oppressors need to develop the sense of oneness with the oppressed, according to Chineke, Chukwu Okike Abịama's plan when he created Adam. The Lord Almighty God did not create Nigeria. The British""educated female journalist and the colonial team coined out "the N-word" slave country named Nigeria in February 1914. The indigenous people were not invited to participate in naming their country. The colonial team unilaterally had already carved out the African continent among themselves in Berlin at the conference that commenced in November 1884 and ended on the 26th of February 1885. The colonial team deliberately destroyed the empires and kingdoms that flourished in the giant African continent. This documentation shall help oppressors eradicate the idea of black race/white race and slavery. This documentation shall help oppressors step aside and allow the indigenous people all over the African continent to revive/restore their empires and kingdoms. The oppressors should cease and desist from supporting and supplying weapons to the nonindigenous herdsmen who exterminate the indigenous citizens of Nigeria. The colonial team crushed the indigenes of the southern protectorate in 1914 and enslaved them to date. The oppressed need to break the shackle of slavery and revive/restore their suppressed empires and kingdoms. Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people bụ Ndị Hebrew (the Igbos are the Hebrew) are not Slaves.

Book Description
Throughout the ages, Jews have connected legends to particular days of the Hebrew calendar. Abraham's birth, the death of Rachel, and the creation of light are all tales that are linked to a specific day and season. The Jewish Book of Days invites readers to experience the connection between sacred story and nature's rhythms, through readings designed for each and every day of the year. These daily readings offer an opportunity to live in tune with the wisdom of the past while learning new truths about the times we live in today. Using the tree as its central metaphor, The Jewish Book of Days is divided into eight chapters of approximately forty-five days each. These sections represent the tree's stages of growth--seed, root, shoot, sap, bud, leaf, flower, and fruit--and also echo the natural cadences of each season. Each entry has three components: a biblical quote for the day; a midrash on the biblical quote or a Jewish tradition related to that day; and commentary relating the text to the cycles of the year. The author includes an introduction that analyzes the different months and seasons of the Hebrew calendar and explains the textual sources used throughout. Appendixes provide additional material for leap years, equinoxes, and solstices. A section on seasonal meditations offers a new way to approach the divine every day.

Book Description
The legend of The Lost Tribes of Israel remained for scholars, historians, archeologists, anthropologists and Hebraists a fascinating topic for millennia. When Israel faced an imperial conquest in the hands of the Assyrian empire in 722 B.C. as earlier warned by prophets Isaiah and Hosea, the nation also went on exile and into what seemed oblivion. A people who for penalty of apostasy became a dispersed people across the globe for nearly three thousand years creating a puzzle of identity and location for so long has suddenly began to emerge from the shadows of time. The account of their journey and experiences over this period had largely remained conjectures as they assimilated amongst foreign cultures. The Igbo, sojourned in the two sides of lower Niger, one of Africas great rivers second only to the Nile and like other exiled tribes of Israel was relatively unknown to those who never had any contacts with them. The era of trans-Atlantic forced migrations and European colonization opened this connection. The exposition of a peoples beliefs, behavior, attitudes and values within religious, cultural and political context had only affirmed their origin and identity.

Book Description
In this incredible, true, and inspiring story, Gods Love Prevails, you will discover how God reaches out to the lost and the wounded as he did in the biblical times. It is believed that the Igbos of Nigeria descended from Israel. I was born and raised in Igbo. I remember in retrospect the culture and traditions of the Igbos which I discovered very similar to that of the Hebrews. In my post-primary school, I as well read the trilogy of Professor Chinua Achebe: Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease, and Arrow of God. These three books explicitly show and prove the belief that Igbos descended from Israel through the cultural and traditional events that run in the books. These, coupled with the information from my biological and spiritual father before he passed on, make me think deep of this supernatural encounter with the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Furthermore, you will see how God went in search of a vessel to portray that which is written in 1 Corinthians 1:2729. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. Finally, Gods Love Prevails also tells the story of how God called and equipped me. I experienced both the supernatural and human nature of God with compelling evidence.

Book Description
Black Jews in Africa and the Americas tells the fascinating story of how the Ashanti, Tutsi, Igbo, Zulu, Beta Israel, Maasai, and many other African peoples came to think of themselves as descendants of the ancient tribes of Israel. Pursuing medieval and modern European race narratives over a millennium in which not only were Jews cast as black but black Africans were cast as Jews, Tudor Parfitt reveals a complex history of the interaction between religious and racial labels and their political uses. For centuries, colonialists, travelers, and missionaries, in an attempt to explain and understand the strange people they encountered on the colonial frontier, labeled an astonishing array of African tribes, languages, and cultures as Hebrew, Jewish, or Israelite. Africans themselves came to adopt these identities as their own, invoking their shared histories of oppression, imagined blood-lines, and common traditional practices as proof of a racial relationship to Jews. Beginning in the post-slavery era, contacts between black Jews in America and their counterparts in Africa created powerful and ever-growing networks of black Jews who struggled against racism and colonialism. A community whose claims are denied by many, black Jews have developed a strong sense of who they are as a unique people. In Parfitt’s telling, forces of prejudice and the desire for new racial, redemptive identities converge, illuminating Jewish and black history alike in novel and unexplored ways.

Book Description
Tudor Parfitt examines a myth which is based on one of the world's oldest mysteries - what happened to the lost tribes of Israel? Christians and Jews alike have attached great importance to the legendary fate of these tribes which has had a remarkable impact on their ideologies throughout history. Each tribe of Israel claimed descent from one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the land of Israel was eventually divided up between them. Following a schism which formed after the death of Solomon, ten of the tribes set up an independent northern kingdom, whilst those of Judah and Levi set up a separate southern kingdom. In 721BC the ten northern tribes were ethnically cleansed by the Assyrians and the Bible states they were placed: in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan and in the city of Medes. The Bible also foretold that one day they would be reunited with the southern tribes in the final redemption of the people of Israel. Their subsequent history became a tapestry of legend and hearsay. The belief persisted that they had been lost in some remote part of the world and there were countless suggestions and claims as to where.
