Mid-Atlantic: GP: Doña Gracia - A Philly–Nigeria Connection: The Story of the Igbo Jews - 2026

Eliana Saks—who today goes by her married name, Eliana Nwafor—appeared on the cover of Hadassah Magazine in July/August 2021. She will present the next chapter of her journey. In her earlier profile, she recounted how she unexpectedly fell in love with an Igbo Jew and was introduced to the vibrant Jewish communities of Nigeria. Four years later, she offers a deeper look at the lives, traditions, and resilience of these Nigerian Jews and reflects on how her connection with them continues to shape her own story.
