Ugandan Rabbinical Student at Columbia’s Beth Shalom
Beth Shalom Congregation in Columbia will welcome Samson Nderitu Njogu as its rabbinic intern-in-residence on the weekend of Apr. 12-14.
Njogu is from Uganda’s Abayudaya Jewish community and is a rabbinical student at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles.
The weekend will feature a sampling African Jewish traditions and melodies, and Njogu will speak about his own Jewish journey and the Abayudaya community. Njogu has served as president of the Abayudaya’s youth movement and tutored young community members preparing for their b’nai mitzvah. He is currently an intern at Hamakom, a Conservative congregation in Los Angeles.
Njogu will also instruct Beth Shalom’s religious school that weekend.
