"Sukkot is the festival of insecurity. It is the festival of a people who know they will never be entirely safe, surrounded as they are by larger, stronger nations, assaulted as they have so often been for having the courage to be different. Sitting in the sukkah, ‘under the shadow of faith’, is all the security we need."

– Rabbi Sacks

Central synagogue festival night: modest attire policy maintained always, driving restricted on Jewish holy-days. We kindly remind our guests and members that our synagogue observes the traditional Jewish holy-days, and therefore, driving is not permitted during these sacred times. Our guests and members usually arrive by the Erev of every Shabbat, also known as Holy Convocations, a time for spiritual rejuvenation and community bonding. We look forward to welcoming you to our synagogue on Sukkot, a joyous festival celebrating the harvest season and the protection of God. See you on Sukkot!

Nothing is more precious to us than that which we create through toil and struggle. -Rosh Yohanan Ukwandu(2021)

This was a post the Leader of our community made a long time ago in 2021 as a Gabbi,this has been true with the way our people reflect it towards the Abia State Jewish Community Project,with our toil and struggle we are building a Central Synagogue and we are not getting tired until we reach the highest heights of success,we have crossed the rubicon and we are not turning back.

NEVER FORGET. ✡️
In just two days, September 29–30, 1941, over 33,000 Jews were slaughtered by the N***s at Babi Yar, a ravine near Kyiv.

Their only "crime"? Being Jewish. It was one of the largest single massacres of the Holocaust. The world stood silent then. Too much of it still is today.

Remember Babi Yar. Speak up before history repeats.
