If Avram has an Iraqi mother and the mother is not a Jew, then Avram himself is not a Jew unless he has formally converted into Judaism. Your father being a Jew does not automatically make you a Jew. Your mother has to be a Jew to be an automatic Jew by birth.

Ken

PS/ The mother being Iraqi does not necessarily mean though that she is not a Jew. There are Iraqi Moslems and a few Iraqi Jews.

When a contract has not been signed, parties are at liberty to walk away when there is no contractual obligation. Grant could be appointed based on his financial demands. Are you saying that if he demanding exorbitant salary, the GFA should still go ahead and appoint him? Where will the GFA get the money?

I'm glad you corrected yourself at the end your article. The Jews were scattered all over the world till the birth of Eretz Israel. Thereafter Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews all over were allowed to migrate including the Fallash - Mullah ( Ethiopian Jews ). Russian Jews were restricted and at some point banned to travel until Perestroika paved the way. The import of this short history is to enlighten the reader that there are all kinds of Jews but not all Jews are Israelis. However reality will catch up with our choice when in future we have to confront a nation like Algeria, Tunisia, Morrocco or Libya. There and then shall we see what we're into.

You may call it anti-semitism, prejudice, racism or even tribalism!
What ever your choice of word is,---it amounts to the same sh*t!
Discrimination has been around since biblical times and any one that tells you it can be eradicated from this society on earth is nothing but an illusionist!
Without delving into details about the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, let's just focus on our present discriminatory style of selective justice on earth!
Before the western world talks about anti-semitism and it's attendant horrors unimaginable, let them condemn slavery, because the horrors of slavery is unmatched in documented history!
As a matter of fact, while the minority seem to ignore racism and considers it as a phenomenon practiced by ignorant Aryans, I see it as a powerful tool by the imperialist, capitalist and neo-colonialist!
The interest of the Aryan race is at stake when there is no racism! That's the most powerful weapon among their arsenals!
The more one travels around the globe, the more he realizes the scotch of institutionalized prejudice!
It's on the job, law enforcement, the restaurants, politics and even at the public place of convenience! Public transportation is no exception!
Any one the has associated with the whiteman would attest to this!
Sometimes you would be in a crowded train or bus and you would be the only black soul perching on a seat that's designed to accommodate three or four passengers simply because, no white folk wants to sit beside a n**ger!
Now, just consider the high rate of killings of blacks by white police officers in the US and across the globe! How could this be "an isolated incident" and not racism? Please, google the name LEVAR JONES on "you-tube" and you would see one of the horrors!
The so-called campaign by the United Nation to stamp out prejudice is nothing but a whitewash ----if not a hogwash! ! Why does the UN turn a blind eye on issues about Africa and the Palestinians? Is the UN not being prejudice on this? If not then what is it?
The world must be aware that, "until there's equal rights and justice, there would never ever be no peace"!

[By: Mara Weiss]
The first traces of Judaism in Ghana appeared in 1976, thanks to a Ghanaian man named Aaron Ahomtre Toakyirafa. Living in the community of Sefwi Sui in Western Ghana, Toakyirafa had a vision and "spoke with spirits" driving him to believe that he and his fellow Ghanaian's were indeed descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel. He saw a clear connection and many similarities between his peoples practices and those of Judaism. For example, it was a tradition in Sewfi for Saturday to be a day of rest. Such a strong tradition that Sewfi that didn't adhere to it were frequently punished. Sewfi also followed the Jewish dietary law restricting the consumption of pork. Members of the male community were circumcised in youth. Toakyriafa was first viewed as crazy but over time his vision became more and more readily accepted.

Toakyirafa's certainty about his ancestery only grew as he traveled to the Ivory Coast. He studied the history of the population of Sewfi. The Sewfi had traveled south to Ghana but had come through what is now the Ivory Coast. He was convinced that the Jewish community of the Ivory Coast had migrated there from other documented Jewish communities.

The House of Israel Community, Sefwi Wiawso

After his trip to the Ivory Coast, Toakyriafa began educating the Sefwi Sui and Adiembra communities about their Jewish hertitage. He taught them Jewish practices and traditions, integrating Judaism into their lives and preaching the study of Judaism to others. They called themselves the House of Israel.

The House of Israel was not accepted in Adiembra, a community neighboring Sefwi Sui. Christians violently abused and imprisoned House of Israel leaders. Most of Adiembra member of the House of Israel moved away.

Aaron Ahomtre Toakyirafa died in 1991. Many thought that the Sewfi community and all of the Judaism that had been taught would just fade away. This almost happened, but in 1993, Toakyirafa was replaced by David Ahenkorah as the leader of the community. Ahenkorah experienced a life-altering vision very similar to that of Toakyirafa. The community then relocated to the small town of Sefwi Wiawso, known as the Jewish neighborhood of New Adiembra.

There is currently a synagogue and family living facilities in New Adiembra. Most members of the community are the first generation of Ghanaians to be Jewish. There is a core group of approximately 800 people practicing Judaism. The community originated from Jews in North Africa crossing the Sahara Desert centuries ago, ending up in the Ivory Coast. Over time, people lost connections to their Jewish roots, but apparently maintained some Jewish customs, such as burying the dead immediately after dead, and avoiding some meat considered to be unclean.

David Ahenkorah remains the spiritual leader of the House of Israel Community. According to Ahenkorah, "They call me a rabbi, but I just call myself a teacher. I haven't been trained."

During nightly group meetings, David and "Rabbi" Alex read from donated books about Judaism, teaching community members of all ages about Jewish traditions. On Shabbat Alex reads from a English language Tanach, a gift from a synagogue in Iowa (according to the sticker inside the book), as David interprets the week's parsha line by line. Each sentence of the Torah is read aloud three times, once in the local language Twi, then in English, and finally translated into a colloquial mixture of of Twi-English.

The synagogue in Sefwi is described in Forward as a "rectangular concrete building, recently painted a brilliant blue and white to match the Israeli flags that hang above the doorways. A center aisle divides the two sections of handcarved wooden pews: the five pews to the left for men, the five to the right for women."

For many decades, the Jews of Sewfi believed they were the last remaining Jews in the world. It was not until the late 1980s, that one of the Ghanaian men travelled to the capital of Accra, and ask the government officials whether there were other Jews. The Ghanaian Jews were surprised to discover there were millions of other Jews in the world. The community had to travel to the Ivory Coast, to contact the Israeli government. The Israeli embassy provided the community with one Torah Scroll and a single siddur, prayer book.

During the late 1990s a man by the name of Michael Gershowitz from the Tifereth Israel Synagogue in Des Moines, Iowa arrived at the Ghanaian community to learn about their history. Through support of Tifereth Israel, Gershowitz was able to provide the Jews of Sewfi with an additional 200 prayer books. In honor of the Tifereth Israel Synagogue of Iowa, the Sewfi community has named their synagogue "Tifereth Israel" in honor of the generous Des Moines congregation.

On March 26, 2004, Bar Dahan was the first Ghanaian to become a Bar Mitzvah.

The community's goal is to build a Jewish school for the children of Sefwi. Recently, 40 acres have been acquired from a local tribesman, but not enough funds have been produced to start construction. Some of the children have learned Hebrew songs and phrases, but are forced to go to local Christian schools due to the lack of a Jewish one.

Ghana is considered the first African country to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, though the date is unverified. In September 2011, reopened its embassy in Ghana after 38 years of closure and it is anticipated that the embassy will help foster and deepen bilateral relations between Israel and Ghana for their mutual benefits.

In November 2012, after a four-story mall collapsed in Accra that killed three and injured over 50 people, the Israeli Air Force sent a plan carrying medical personnel, engineers, and communication experts to help Ghana pick up the pieces of the tragedy. A Magen David Adom team was also sent to the region.

Also in November 2012, the Israeli government lent $217 million to the University of Ghana to build a 600-bed teaching hospital in Legon. Once completed, the hospital will feature state-of-the-art trauma and emergency services, a heliport and internal medicine department, Surgery, Obstetrics and gynaecology, pediatrics, cardiology, heart surgery, and medicinal imaging. The Sheba Medical Centre in Tel HaShomer, Israel will provide assistance to ensure that Ghana's new teaching hospital measures up to global standards in medicine and health. The facility will provide Ghanaians and people in the sub-region the opportunity to access excellent medical care in Ghana.

Your guess is as good as mine. GFA will wait till Konadu qualifies Ghana, then fuck him and take Grant: Monkey dey work...
If Konadu fails, GFA will let him remain as the coach and will not take Grant.
That's my "forecast!!!"
Better lose the Ghana v. Togo match, Mr. Konadu, for your own benefit!!! That's the only way they can keep you there. If you lose and they fire you, what will Grant come to do? No AFCON, no World Cup, no tournament, but he will be collecting millions?

If you want to win trophies, then don't hire Grant. He has never won one anywhere. Being a Jew has nothing to do with it. He's a bad choice for the Black Stars. Give the job to Maxwell Konadu. He's a Ghanaian and currently the interim Black Stars coach. Israel would never appoint a black or African coach to manage the Israeli national team. So, why should we act differently than the norm. In any case, we are talking about the competence of Avram Grant not whether or not he's a Jew. The problem as I see it is that we respect the white skin more than black skin and trust the judgment of the white to that of our own. Shame! At the rate we are going, we should never consider ourselves free from slave mentality. It's not Grant's fault in any of this but our own for attempting to hire him to coach the national football team. Again, shame on the person who wrote this bogus article in the first place.

Help preach about positive things and stop all these negative stuff. Everyone born on this earth has the right to live. We shouldn't condone any form of wickedness. Coach Avram Grant is also human and has the right to live or be employed where his services are needed. That's the bottom line. Ghana should champion or spread the good message. We once told the world that we're non-aligned; we'll do business with all genuine people in the world and will not involve ourselves in unnecessary politics. Citizens of this earth and in every country must be free to achieve their dream. We can't bow to the dictates of any extremist or religions fanatics in any part of the world. That's the watchword.

Our Arab fellow Continental dwellers should not decide for us who we must hire to work for us, so long as that person has not done anything directly to hurt them.

We should not fight the Middle-East wars on our turf. The larger quest for Peace in the Middle-East is what we all aspire to see some day. And that effort must not exclude genuine efforts by any Nation to open her doors to all innocent individuals from everywhere to follow their dreams in that Nation.

Israel's Government policies must be isolated from what individual Israelis are doing everywhere.

He won thr Serbian cup with Partizan Belgrade. He only failed once and that was with West Ham United which is a mid table club anyway. He has succeeded everywhere he has had good materials.

And if you don't think concessions were made for him to win the trophy in corrupt Serbia.then you are naive indeed.oh, why don't you tell us how partizan Belgrade did at the champions League in 2012, huh?

I take the arguments here but my main problem with Avram is his lack of Dynamism! The stage we are at the moment needs someone with a dynamic personality to literally 'fire up' our boys to play the football we are noted for!I am very doubtful if Avram has that persona. That is very crucial in any job that requires psyching up people to deliver. Did the GFA consider this when making the final decision? What exactly is it that makes us always look abroad for someone to do out job for us? Is it inferiority complex? Is it too late for the GFA to re-advertise the job? I am sorry, but do not bring in the argument of Israeli / Antisemitism and give him a job on 'Compassionate Grounds'. It's our nation's glory that should come first!
