Greetings to all,

My name is Ehav Eliyahu Ever (אֶהַב אֶלִיָּהוּ עֵבֶר). I come from a mixed family; Senegalese, Sephardic, French, Indian, etc. and a few Ashkenazim who married into the family. I was once adopted by an Igbo family in Nigeria and for a short time I kind of identified with them. I mostly identify with the Sephardic Maghrebim and Senegalese sides of my father's family.

In early 2002 I started praying with Syrian Jewish community at Sha'are Tzion Sephardic Minyon, now Union Square Sephardic Synagogue, of 5th Ave on 16th Street (the rabbi for the Ashkenazi and Sephardic Synagogues at that time was Rabbi Israel Wohlgelernter). In 2003 I went through a השבת ליהוּדידוּת Hashavat LeYehudiduth (Return to Judaism) with Chabad in Brooklyn.

When I lived in New York I was a member of Tifereth Yisrael-Yemenite Jewish (Teimanim) Synagogue of Manhattan where I learned Torah from Rabbi Yair Yaish. Additionally, I learned from Rabbi Marc D. Angel of Shearith Israel- Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue and Rabbi Aaron Raskin of the Benei Avraham Synagogue (Chabad) in Brooklyn.

I now live in Israel in Maale Adumim, near Jerusalem. I maintain a blog called Hochmah and Musar (Wisdom and Ethics) at the following link. [1]

The articles that I work on the most are the following:

I received my BS in Electrical Engineering from Prairie View A&M University in Texas. During my time in college I was a member of NSBE (The National Society of Black Engineers), as a math tutor for the Upward Bound Program at the University of Houton - Downtown. While in college I became a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. I am no longer active in Phi Beta Sigma.

I know or am in the process of learning the following languages.

The following articles that I want to add Yemenite Jewish perspectives on.

When I was a kid I also knew French, but I stopped using it when I was 6 so I no longer remember much.
