YEHUDI MAGHREBI - AN AFRICAN JEW
The father of 5 sons & 7 daughters, aged from 30's to 5yrs.old. The first-born son of a Sephardi mother (of Cubano bkgrd) and Gadi father(Igbo from SE Nigeria), I am one of many Yehudim Maghrebim (African Jews) and proud of it. After years of serious study and contemplation, I came to see that only the Scriptures are the rule for belief and practice. Therefore, I hold to the verified truth of B'nei Miqra (Karaite) and invite every Israelite to do the same.
