Growing up Jewish in Uganda
Hosted By: Qesher
The Abayudaya community was founded by a tribal chief who converted himself and many of his followers to Judaism in 1919. One hundred years later, there are nine synagogues in different Ugandan villages, three Jewish schools, and the community continues to grow. Shoshana Nambi will share the history of her community, as well as her own family story and journey to rabbinical school. She will also comment on her experiences living in Israel and America as a Ugandan Jew.
