Summary The Abayudaya s conviction to Jewish faith goes back almost 90 years. By 1919, Kakungulu a Christian preacher until an epiphany led him to embrace Judaism had convinced 3,000 of his community to follow the ancient example of Abraham and receive circumcisions . And while he did his best to ensure that other Jewish rites were adhered to, the community s remote location made proper rabbinic access impossible. In early 2002, however, five Conservative rabbis agreed to journey to Nabugoye Hill in rural Uganda to fulfill the Abayudaya s request that they be formally converted to Judaism and accepted into the larger worldwide Jewish community. Filmmaker Debra Gonsher Vinik and her film crew followed along and captured the emotional conversions. During the 1970s the Abayudaya s mud hut synagogues and lands were confiscated by the government of Idi Amin , and they were barred from publicly practicing Judaism. After Amin was overthrown and freedom of worship restored, uncertainty and religious malaise fell over the community, until a youth movement reinvigorated the faithful. Vinik s camera now tracks ...

File Hiskisalomaa.jpg thumb Hiski Salomaa Hiski Salomaa , born Hiskias M tt May 17, 1891 in Kangasniemi , Finland July 7, 1957 in New York City , United States USA was a Finnish American folk singer and song writer. Born in Kangasniemi , Finland , Salomaa moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Upper Peninsula, Michigan , in 1908 after the death of his mother. There, he made his living as a tailor . Salomaa, an active Anarcho syndicalism anarcho syndicalist , joined the Industrial Workers of the World and served time in prison as a conscientious objector during the World War I First World War . Salomaa s songs depict Finnish immigrant life in North America and were very popular among the Finnish diaspora in North America. An interesting feature of Salomaa s is the plain use of Finglish in his lyrics, making his songs more difficult to understand outside of a Finnish American or Finnish Canadian audience. Often referred to as the Finnish Woody Guthrie , Salomaa s songs paint a picture of the Finnish, working class immigrant experience. Between 1927 1931 Salomaa recorded 18 songs for Columbia Records . His best known songs include Tiskarin Polkka Dishwasher s Polka , Vapauden Kaiho Yearning for Freedom , and L nnen lokari Western Logger . Salomaa s recordings are considered to be an important part of Finnish recording history because during this period the Finnish recording industry was almost non existent. In fact, between 1917 1925 not a single record was released in Finland. Hella Wuolijoki , the head of Yleisradio in Finland in the late 1940s, broke a Hiski Salomaa record into pieces during a live broadcast because she hated the song L nnen lokari .
