Havdalah in Nigeria 🇳🇬🇮🇱 surrounded by a Jewish community so far from home, yet somehow deeply connected.

Thank you @wewereneverlost and @rudy_israel for sending me here and allowing me to be part of this journey.

Shana Tova 🇮🇱🇳🇬
Nigeria, 2026.

This year took me to places I never imagined I would go.

A few weeks ago, I traveled to Nigeria to meet a community living their connection to the Torah with incredible strength.

For months, I had the chance to work on the design of a Sefer Torah created for this community. Thinking through every detail, every symbol, every material, and then seeing this object leave the studio, travel thousands of kilometers, and finally be gifted there… was an adventure in itself.

For me, designing an object like this is not simply about creating something beautiful. It is about touching something that existed long before us, and trying to bring a contemporary language to it without ever losing its soul.

Traveling with this Torah, meeting the families, listening to their stories, sharing Shabbat with them, and witnessing the moment it entered its new home is something that will stay with me for a long time.

For this new year, I wish us more curiosity, more unexpected encounters, and more courage to go and discover what exists beyond what we already know.

And above all, to keep creating bridges.
