Meet Lt. Toby Cohen: First Nigerian Female Officer in Israel Defense Forces (IDF)

21-yr-old Lieutenant Toby Cohen was born in Nigeria to a Nigerian mother and Israeli father. Her parents and 8-year-old sister live in the northern part of Nigeria, while she immigrated to Israel on her own at the age of 17. Cohen serves in the Homefront Command.

“Even when I was 3 years old I knew I wanted to come to Israel. My father was born here and served in the Armor Corps, and our home in Nigeria was full of stories about Israel and the army,” she said. “On Rosh Hashana and Passover, we would always travel to celebrate with Dad's family in Israel, and as I was getting older I wanted more and more to get to know Israeli culture and strengthen my connection to Israel.”

When she turned 17, Cohen immigrated to Israel alone within the framework of the Jewish Agency's "Young Judaism" program, and joined the Metzar pre-army educational program at Kibbutz Metzar in the Golan Heights.
