Explaining most clearly and concisely how Omenana is Israelite culture.

............................................ many thanks for your questions. Pondering over how to summarize 22 pages which was what I allocated to explaining this in http://www.amazon.com/kindle-store/dp/B008N2VHBI I came up with the following. Now-the Torah are the 'things' that HaShem commanded us through Moshe to do, in the Land of Israel. G-d promised us that as long as we do those things, that we'll keep the Land, and get thrown off the Land, if we do not do those things. So we can say that the heart of the Torah 'are the things we'll do in the Land (of Israel)'. Omenana which is actually the phrase 'ome na ana' or 'ife ndi aya adi na eme na ana' is the phrase we use to identify the Igbo religion and or culture. Translated into English this means 'things that will be done in the land'. And now here it comes; every Igbo cultural practice and belief has been located in the Torah, and other Jewish instruments, and it is an Igbo belief that if one violates Omenana, that ana (the land) throws out or vomits the person (from the land). In the book the work is arranged in these sections-----------CHAPTER TWO: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE IDEAS UNDERLYING OMENANA AND JUDAISM OMENANA AND JUDAISM IGBO PERCEPTION OF GOD SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS IN OMENANA……………………………………………………
