What’s in a Name? How the Ancient
Israelites Settled in Ghana
|
| |
 |
Dr. Joseph Nii
Abekar Mensah traces the history of Jewish migration in
his landmark book Traditions and Customs of Gadangmes of
Ghana: Descendants of Authentic Biblical Hebrew
Israelites.
GaDangmes of Ghana have been described as descendants of
the biblical Hebrew Israelites, whose ancestors once
reigned supreme in the motherland. The ancestors of the
GaDangmes were ruled by Wulomei (The High Priesthood).
GaDangmes claim through their oral history that they are
descendants of ancient Hebrew Israelites, and call
themselves Yudafoi, meaning they are Jews. The book
discusses GaDangme custom and traditions, including the
Homowo Festival, circumcision, and outdooring
(sanctification) of the child after birth, all
traditions of Hebraic origins. This history book traces
the origins of GaDangmes and their migration from
ancient Israel to Ghana following the attack on Israel
by the Assyrians about 700 years before Christ.
GaDangmes names read like genetic markers and are
scattered throughout The Old Testament, including
GaDangmes towns and villages that bear Hebrew names.
Read this fascinating book to understand the culture
that helped shape modern Ghana.
