The emerging Jewish communities in Nigeria would welcome your books. * Basic Judaism / Introductions to Judaism (practices, values, history, etc.) * Chumashim (Hebrew/English) - Artscroll/Stone, Etz Hayim, UJR, Hertz - the JPS Torah Commentary * Chumash with Rashi (Hebrew/English) * Torah Commentaries - e.g., Artson's Bedtime Torah, Frankel's The Five Books of Miriam * Siddurim (ArtScroll is preferred) * Tanakhim (Hebrew/English or English only) * Soncino Press - Tanakh, Talmud, Midrash, Zohar * Overviews of World Jewish History (histories of specific communities are not as useful) * Kittzur Shulchan Arukh (Hebrew/English); books on the 613 Mitzvot; books on minhagim; etc. * Musar - Mesilat Yesharim, Orchot Tzaddikim, etc. - and Jewish ethics * Books on Israel and Zionism * Books to counter missionaries' arguments The intended recipients are earnest but their Hebrew knowledge, for the most part, is still developing. Their outlook is what we might call Orthodox.
