I think this is in the right place.

Just from scrolling on various sites I have seen very interesting takes on Hebrew Israelites.
I was born and raised in this faith. And my immediate family are Hebrew Israelites as well. I just created this thread in case you guys had any general questions.

Thanks for the warning. Truly.

I made this post for people that genuinely have questions. I'll just try to ignore the trolls.

I really hope this goes well! I am not familiar with your faith. Just a lot of the negativity I see on YouTube. Have you been around other faiths? How would you describe your community?

Are you married? Do you work outside of the home? Are you required to dress modestly?
I am not married. Nor am I in a relationship. I do work outside of the home. I have never felt any pressure from my family or anybody I know in the faith to be married young or to stay inside of my house. As for dressing modestly I believe I do as a personal choice. Besides my parents making sure I was dressing my age I have not felt restricted in what I could wear.

Thank you! All of the negativity on YouTube is also what prompted me to make this post.
I've mostly been around other Christians. I believe when I was in high school there were other Muslim Students. However they were in a different grade and we had different social interest so we didn't talk. I would say my community is a bit tight knit. Mostly because it is made up of a lot of my extended family members. Like 7th and 8th cousins. I don't have an intimate experience with church but from what I seen I think they could be compared to the Pentecostal people. Or at least the people that I've always been around try to follow all the rules in the good book.

You really want to do this here?
Thank you for the warning.
I do. I still believe that there is hope in the world. LOL I'll do my best to ignore the trolls. Part of the reason I am making this thread is because people have to give warnings like this. And to help combat all the negativity.

Why do you all align yourselves with whiteness (e.g, being the original Jewish people)? Which I get. The originals were black..I’ve heard and know the whole schtick..but the ones who rule the world now are white and why did most of you all vote for Donald Trump? The patriarchy within the community reminds me of any other white, male-dominant group.

Do you like having a different belief from most AA? I grew up with new-age teaching. Not too many AA share my religion. I like thinking differently from most people in general. How is your experience?

Another good question, do you believe that a black man with a white woman can create a black woman ? Or do you believe that child is biracial ? Because according to hebrews you're the seed of the father so technically a black man can create a black woman with a white woman.
So, what's the truth ?

These people claim Judaism which is an abrahamic religion instead of traditional african religions like Candomble or Umbanda, that's why they are called ''white''.
That’s so strange. I thought white was European but you’re saying anything not traditionally African is white? Even if it comes out of Africa? Lol

I am not sure what you mean by align ourselves with whiteness. And even if its true that Jewish people rule the world I am confused on how that stops us from practicing our faith. Everyone I know is proudly black and did not vote for Donald Trump. What you said sounds like a generalization and possible sterotype. ( I say possible because I cannot speak for everybody.)
I do understand what you mean by the patriarchy. However I don't believe that it is because of religion specifically. I believe it is something that you can find almost everywhere . Due to culture and societal norms . As well as the character of a person . As for me I have not had any issues with that.

That is an interesting question. I wouldn't say I liked or disliked it. It just was. A fact of life.

Growing up I definitely knew that my religion was different. And it wasn't as wildly practiced. It was a normal childhood I would say. The most noticeable difference was eating. It was many a days that I just had peanut butter and jelly sandwich because the only thing on the menu was pork. Sometimes I missed out on school events because it would be on Friday night. Which is never fun as a kid. I wouldn't say that the experience was detrimental, but of course I wanted to go.

When I was younger, up until about 10 years old even with all these differences it was okay. Because I lived in a community with others like me. Once I moved that changed. But besides the occasional sadness about not being able to go to school event or being annoyed about lunch. I would say I had a pretty normal upbringing. the only awkward part would be trying to explain to other people what religion I was. it's only been in the past two years that I've seen more Hebrew Israelites. I don't know if it's because more people are coming into the faith. or it's easier to find them on the Internet.

If you don't mind what is New Age teaching?

Now this is one I've never heard before. But no. It's absolutely a real thing. I'm not sure if you're asking this to troll. Or if you met or talked to other Hebrew Israelites who doesn't believe that is a real thing. And had a genuine question. As far as I know the general belief is that the transatlantic slave trade was in the Bible.

Do you interact with Black Jewish people who are not Israelites - Reform, Conservative or Orthodox - and if so what's that experience been like?
