 The Sefwi tribe in Ghana has a history of following some Judaic practices, including the observation of the Sabbath, the circumcision of baby boys when they turn eight days old (brit milah), a rite of manhood for boys when they turn 13 years old, the observation of family purity laws (taharat mishpacha or niddah).In 1977 a member of the tribe, Aaron Ahotre Toakyirafa had a vision that he was Jewish and descended from a lost tribe of Israel.Some scholars believe these Jewish customs were most likely brought to Ghana by Jews who were expelled from Spain in 1492 and migrated south from Morocco.
