Amazing how this community in Dimona has thrived. This group left USA years ago because of the racism and oppression. They look so healthy and stress free. A beautiful way of life. May Yah continue to bless them.
@Jonah Daniels….regardless of what they call themselves…these are people who were oppressed and disliked in America. They rejected this treatment, left the states and developed their own society that is noteworthy. Be proud of their accomplishments. They are peace loving people and we should all follow their examples. They are successful because there are no drugs, racism and police brutality….traits of America towards some of the black communities, to interfere. May God bless them and continue to move them forward. It is God who allowed this to happen. By the way they are not racist. They are welcoming to everyone.
@@kijihigh6826 No it's racist when a bunch of people claim a religion and say it magically exists for Latino, Indians, west Africans, etc and that anyone that's white doesn't belong and if a white claims to be jewish then they are an imposter and not a real hebrew. sects of the so called black hebrew israelites also believe a black messiah will come and enslave all the white people. These are current day Nazis
@Jonah Daniels.....that sounds bizarre if what you are saying is true. I can not go there. Jesus (Yeshua) said to give the gospel to all of the nations. Those who have faith and believe in Him are the real Israelites inspite of their color. Just keep praying and believing. I definitely will not preach a different gospel.
I stayed with this community many times in the early 2000s , such warm loving people, who made me feel at home. The whole community, young and old would go for walks up the hills to keep fit, some practice martial arts, yoga etc. The children were so respectful, could speak multiple languages and were extremely entrepreneurial. I was so fortunate to meet their spiritual leader Ben Ami before he passed, who was a extremely wise and noble man with an almost God like presence. I often wondered how they were getting on, a lot of familiar sights. The Israeli government were trying to deport them recently, I hope they're not successful, they are an asset to Israel. Oh and the ice cream is beautiful!
They are not trying to deport them. The country allowed the Hebrew Israelites to live there, gave them permanent residency and then New illegal people join their group thst are new to Israel. They come in illegally on tourist visas or other paperwork. They are not the Dimona people, but add-ons. They are illegally in the country. Those are the people Israel has tried to deport.
@@shainazion4073 That is true about some bit many they tried to deport had been there since the 80s and had children born and raised in Israel. They welcome other Europeans and grant them residency or dual citizenship without hesitation so let's not act like they are treated equally
The handshake you just did with the elder of the community was similar to our Zambian handshake. Wow I love these videos of yours. I’m new to your channel. It’s so amazing learning about the Holy Land and seeing the roots of where the beginning of life as a Christian began and seeing the amazing people who live there! Praying for the peace of Israel and for the innocent Palestinians caught up in the wicked war being waged. Blessings and shalom 🙏🏽

@@shainazion4073 No, with respect, you are confusing/conflating the good people in the featured community in Eretz Yisrael with members of a sect on the streets of NYC and elsewhere. These people identify as the church of Black Hebrew Israelites who "preach" that they are descended from the ancient Israelites and do so in a loud and confrontational way by claiming that the Jewish people are imposters. Then there's Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam which claims they are the real Jews and/or descendants of Jews and that the Ashkenazim, Sephardim and Mizrahi Jews are not real Jews and/or descendants of the Children of Israel. Farrakhan goes beyond these claims and demonizes Jews in Israel and the Diaspora with the usual anti-Semitic tropes and the like. The Black community in Israel are not connected in any way with the aforementioned.
@@ajarnwordsmith628 what?? you are so lost! Farrakhan is a Muslim bro and has nothing to do with the Hebrew Israelites, although I do believe that he's figuring out the truth for himself and he's preaching more towards the Hebrew scripture than the Muslim scripture nowadays.

They are not accepted as Jews at all. They basically blackmailed the state of Israel to finally accept them. Then after they speak nasty of the real Jews.
@@MK-mh6lh Because Israel would not allow them to become citizens. They refused to convert to Judaism. They allow polygamy and forbid birth control. The leaders decide marriages, and they perform their own wedding ceremonies. They have no Jewish heritage and refuse to convert to Judaism, therefore they are not eligible for citizenship. They entered Israel on temporary visas, which the goverment renewed. They were allowed to live, work and receive health care and were given loans to meet their basic needs. The Goverment left them alone and did not try to deport them. Their population kept growing and growing. They denounced Israel and became more vocal with the claims that the real Jews were frauds and that only they were the True descendants of the Israelites. Many in Israel consider them a cult and wanted them expelled. When proposals for deportation were discussed they held hunger strikes and had their many supporters in the US write op-ed pieces claiming racism on the part of Israel. Their legions in America had Congres send funds for their support and to establish a school for them in Dimona. By 1990 the Israeli government and the BHI reached an agreement. The BHI would be granted tourist status for one year, until they were granted temporary residency status. The temporary residency would be reviewed in 5 years and then periodically thereafter. Israel later agreed to build a permanent organic farming village in the Negev desert for the group. The BHI continued to live and work in Israel. In 2003 they were granted permanent residency status for those on the list they provided to the Minister of the Interior. They started in 1969 as 30 people and number between. 2,000 and 3,000 today. More and more people have joined their group and they were not in the original agreement. These people were cracked down on and the Israeli government had sent deportation notices as they are residing illegally in the country They use the Media to claim racism against them as they are Negroid and they go to the media and paint Israel as only expelling them because they are Black. Then America blacks make a ruckus and the international community loves to paint Israel as racist.

We'd love to see you go deeper in another video and ask about why the violence of some groups, what their core beliefs are and how they differ from Judaism, their relationships with other Israelis, with the United States, Africa, the rest of the world - maybe even ask about their politics and how they engage politically, about marriage and intermarriage,etc?

@Akoben no such thing as Black Hebrews Israelites u are using the term that the white racist media has put on us.cause the real Israelites/Jews are waking up to their TRUE nationality here in the United states.
Wow. 50-some odd years in Israel and they still speak and sound like North Americans. Is that common thing in Israel for immigrants from North America?

@@adirlis1 By saying African Americans are the true Hebrew Israelites. They also have their own racist, dogmatic view of the bible. For example they believe Esau (white people in their theology) are evil and they're going to put them into slavery.

This newspaper story tells of a Jew from 1668 America. Solomon was listed as a “malata Jue“. The source tells us that the Englishmen of that time period thought the Jews were dark-skinned. The source then tells us in 1665 that a “respectable Portuguese Jew” in Jamaica was called “a black Jew“. The source tells us that F.L. Cardozo, a famous Jew in America during the Civil War time frame, was of Negro descent. The source also tells us that the term “mulatto” was occasionally applied to Spanish-Portuguese Jews. Source: Fascinating ‘Malata Jue’ Story in Marcus’ New York (The Detroit Jewish News) 1969 A.D.
Mulato and Mulata in Cuba means someone of mixed African and Cuban indigenous (the tribes who lived on the island pre-colonisation, eg, Siboney) descent. It means of dual heritage. Whilst the term "Mulato" is considered an insult in some cultures, due to an individual not being fully accepted as "belonging to" either people or culture, in Cuba it is considered incredibly honourable to be called a Mulata or a Mulato as they say the mixed genes of the original inhabitants and the Africans combine to make the most beautiful of women and the most handsome of men. In fact, there is a rum named Mulata in honour of the Mulatas of Cuba.

@Fredrick Frederickson I was thinking after I read your comment, what's a Brit? There are so many diverse ethnicities in Britain so it could mean anyone. But I used to know a British guy who was of Irish descent and your description matches him perfectly 🤣 Bless him, he was so pale his veins looked greenish blue through his paper white skin. I asked him if he was related to the blue people. Maybe it was racist of us to nickname him Avatar, but he had a good sense of humour. He got really sunburnt if he forgot to wear sunscreen.

Tacitus,wrote about Jews in his book, Histories, saying, “Many assure us they were a race of Ethiopian origin.” Ethiopians are black Africans. In other words, Tacitus stated that Jews were of black African descent.
This was an amazing exposure to me. It kept my imagination in motion. I also desire to be a part of a community as such. I wonder why in America this isn't a Reality; Also, in Christianity. I do understand the difference for the most part. I wonder why African Americans don't support such a idea 💡 it's healthy, wealthy, physical/spiritual and mentally smooth. This is the future, By God🙏
I beg to differ. Do not make blanket statements about African Americans. While some are still in the dark, the great awakening has begun for many who now know their true identity that had been stolen from us.
The Ibos are the wandering Jews of West Africa-gifted, aggressive, westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the federation -Foreign Relations, Volume E-5, Documents on Africa, 1969-1972
The Jewish faith has nothing to do with race or religion just think of all the Europeans who are native to Europe but yet call themselves Jews but for some reason it's not a problem but because these African Americans call themselves Jews , there seems to be a problem but anyone who knows the history of the crusades knows that the Jewish population at that time were dark skinned people who were mainly semitic however some were of African descent who was hard to distinguish from the Arab population at that time and they were exterminated by the crusaders and were replaced by those of European descent that's why today most Israelis are basically European who converted to judism however I don't believe the creator actually cared about their skin color it was he who chose the seed of Abraham to bring about the advent of the Messiah, The faith was the religion of the the people of Judah which are now called Jews. But the entering in of the Messiah put an end to it All everything henges on Yeshua who is the true temple of God where God is to be worshiped as it is today God does not dwell in buildings made by man..✌️
Those European Jews were called Jews by those who tried to get rid of them. And they atleast had a history of pharisaic Judaism under their belt with their customs and language. They neither claimed through revelation of Frank Cherry and William Crowdy (real Hebrew sounding names huh), that they were Jews. If revelation was all it took to create a whole belief system, you should have no problem excepting the Mormon/Catholic/Shincheonji's religions as well.
Jews are not a religion. They are a nation of people from Judea. They all share DNA in common from the Diaspora communities around the world. They are a tribe of people. And they follow the laws of Torah. You can not just decide to become a Jew. In order to become a Jew, it is from one to three years of study, you must learn Hebrew, the law, culture, traditions, festivals etc. When you think you know enough, then you go before a Rabbinic court and are questioned, of you pass the questioning, you must undergo circumcision if male, even if already circumcised, and then to mikvah, and then you become a Jew. In a religion, you say one passage in an afternoon, and poof!! You are now that religion.
A Israelite is a nationality,not a land mass. A Israeli is a convert of Israelites,like the Jewish are converts of Judah,Levi and Benjamin of the Southern kingdom. Also the Northern kingdom Israelite gentiles Ephraim,Gad, Ruben, Simone, Issachar, Asher, Zebulon, Naphthali and Manasseh.
“Jewish” is just Judean. Samaritans are Levi. These hebrew israelites are imposters that take chinese, indian, greek, persian traditions and call it their own. Complete clowns that run when Palestinians come. Free palestine
What kinds of jobs do people do and do they work in the wider community as business people, doctors, lawyers, teachers,in technology, etc? Or do they all work within this community in what you showed in the vid? I'm very curious about how they earn money enough to support themselves and their families! This group needs another video.
Bad Jews - A History of American Jewish Infighting Emily Tamkin, a Jewish writer from the UK who writes about American Jewry, has recently published a book titled Bad Jews: A History of American Jewish Politics and Identities. The book’s publisher, Hurst, describes it as “A lively, thoughtful history of America’s Jews, exploring their complex relationships with national culture, identity, and politics-and each other.” The book caused a bit of a stir among Jewish publications. JTA, for example, wrote that Tamkin “takes a different tack, tracing the history of American Jewry through the ways Jews on one side of social upheaval seek to discredit the very Jewishness of those on the other side.” The book itself focuses on what is happening in America, since “American Jewish history,” writes Tamkin, “is full of discussions and debates and hand-wringing over who is Jewish, and how to be Jewish, and what it means to be Jewish.” When a student of mine told me about the book, he asked for my opinion on these questions, stating that they “haunt” virtually every Jewish person. He also noted that when Tamkin asked people, “What comes to mind when you hear ‘Bad Jew’?” the most common answer she got was “When I think of a ‘Bad Jew,’ I think of myself.” Since, as Tamkin writes, “The issue of what it means, or doesn’t, to be a Good Jew or a Bad Jew is particularly fraught at this moment in US history,” the student asked for my take on the topic. So, first, we need to realize where the word Yehudi (Jewish) comes from. There is the known answer, that Yehudi comes from Yohuda (Judah), the name of the tribe that lived in the land of Israel during the Second Temple. However, there is another meaning to the word: Yehudi also comes from the word Yechudi, meaning united. This makes perfect sense if you remember that we were pronounced a nation only after we committed to love each other “as one man with one heart” at the foot of Mt. Sinai, yet, for the most part, this explanation did not receive the notoriety it deserves. If you look at being Jewish through the spectacle of Jewish unity, as I do, then being a good Jew means first and foremost that you want to unite with all the Jews, that this is what really matters to you, your prime value. If Jewishness is about unity, then a Jew is a person who knows, feels, understands, and even spreads the idea that the most important thing is to be connected in ties of love with all the Jews, regardless of denomination, customs, political views, or any other issue that currently divides and splinters the Jewish people. The author wrote that one of the answers she got to the question about the meaning of being a bad Jew was “someone whose conception of Judaism doesn’t have applications to the wider world.” I understand where this answer comes from. It is with good reason Jews gave the correction of the world such a pivotal place in their identity. We even gave that mission its own Hebrew term, Tikkun Olam (Hebrew for “Correction of the World”). However, we must know what it means to correct the world, to be responsible for it, or even to care about the world. Tikkun Olam are not simply words; they imply a very specific task, and until we accomplish it, we will not be “good Jews.” At the “inauguration” of our people, we were commanded to unite “as one man with one heart,” as RASHI interprets. Immediately after, we were declared a nation and were tasked with being “a light to the nations.” In other words, our unity and our obligation to the world are indivisible. We cannot be a light to the nations if we are not united. At the same time, we cannot unite unless we do it in order to be a light to the nations. When our ancestors united for the first time, under the guidance of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they were not a biologically related group. They were an eclectic crowd that was taken by the idea that all the people should unite, and we should not succumb to our ego. This is why Abraham advocated kindness and mercy, to teach people how to rise above their self-absorption and care for one another. Abraham was a maverick, a pioneer, a trailblazer, but thanks to him, these noble ideas are now universal. As a nation that formed out of disparate tribes and clans, it was our duty to be the living proof of Abraham’s paradigm. This is why we became a nation only after we united, and not a moment prior. Since our inception, we have known that unity is our “secret weapon.” However, we never understood why, what was the secret of the strength in our unity. The secret is not that unity itself makes us undefeatable, but that our unity dissolves the world’s hatred toward us and turns it into respect and awe. It gives the world the example of unity that it needs so that all of humanity can unite, as well. Not only we received a message when we were at the foot of Mt. Sinai. At that moment, the nations of the world received the knowledge that we received the calling. Since then, they have been waiting for us to live up to it. This is why they support us when we are united, and scold us when we are divided. Being a good Jew or a bad Jew, therefore, is not a judgment we pass on each other or on ourselves. It is determined by our commitment to the world, which we fulfill through our efforts to unite among ourselves and serve as an example that if we-the most divided nation, whose members often abhor one another-can unite, then the whole world can, as well.

Traveling Clatt are you doing research before you do the videos on the various groups. Please learn more about these groups. Many of the black Hebrew Israelites have been violent and espoused violence. Or is this group different from other Hebrew Israelites? How do their beliefs, practices, traditions, etc. differ from Israelis and from other Israeli Jews and Israelis in general ? I'm not saying you should portray them in negative light - not at all! But we'd like to hear the whole story from various perspectives! Thanks for showing the world what an amazing country Israel is. The world, mistakenly, often sees Israel as intolerant and oppressive but your videos are showing how Israel has many, many different types of groups and is very tolerant! They won’t tolerate terrorism of course and way too many Israelis have died. But I have to say that Israel is one of the most tolerant places I’ve ever visited and is absolutely and definitely one of the most tolerant places - probably the most tolerant place in that part of the world!!
He isn’t there for all representations of Hebrew Israelites. This video is about the community in Dimona. If he goes to Rome, and interviews someone in a Catholic Church, do you expect it to represent Christians worldwide?
as we can see from this whole series, the views are much more important than doing research. None of these videos are doing anything to promote peace they are only repeating the media biased narrative of one side that is suffering in the hands of the "brutal" Israelis. He doesnt even know what the issue is and thinks he will bring peace by pandering to made up claims.
@@TheQuietStorm42 you missed my point. And I didn’t say they do or should represent any worldwide group. TTC showed what these few people in this video told him about their existence in Israel and from their viewpoint. It would be interesting to know what other informed and knowledgeable people, Israelis in particular, have to say about some of the things said in TTC's videos on this interesting topic and especially what was discussed in his videos on this group. I’ll like to know about the group in Demonia from other's informed perspectives.
Interesting community. I reviewed some of the comments and not very positive. I found it interesting because I am a curious person about how others live.
“Even from beyond Ethiopia’s rivers they will bring those who petition me, the daughter of my dispersed as my offering.” Tz'fanyah (Zep) 3:10 CJB Returnees of ancient israel

It’s not unusual to see them on street corners screaming the most vile things against us. You won’t see that on the News.

@@shainazion4073 That is true about some bit many they tried to deport had been there since the 80s and had children born and raised in Israel. They welcome other Europeans and grant them residency or dual citizenship without hesitation so let's not act like they are treated equally

@@shainazion4073 No, with respect, you are confusing/conflating the good people in the featured community in Eretz Yisrael with members of a sect on the streets of NYC and elsewhere. These people identify as the church of Black Hebrew Israelites who "preach" that they are descended from the ancient Israelites and do so in a loud and confrontational way by claiming that the Jewish people are imposters. Then there's Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam which claims they are the real Jews and/or descendants of Jews and that the Ashkenazim, Sephardim and Mizrahi Jews are not real Jews and/or descendants of the Children of Israel. Farrakhan goes beyond these claims and demonizes Jews in Israel and the Diaspora with the usual anti-Semitic tropes and the like. The Black community in Israel are not connected in any way with the aforementioned.
@@ajarnwordsmith628 what?? you are so lost! Farrakhan is a Muslim bro and has nothing to do with the Hebrew Israelites, although I do believe that he's figuring out the truth for himself and he's preaching more towards the Hebrew scripture than the Muslim scripture nowadays.

So all that they’re practicing is man made, none of it is from the religion, I find it hard to believe Orthodox Jews accept them as Jews.
They are not accepted as Jews at all. They basically blackmailed the state of Israel to finally accept them. Then after they speak nasty of the real Jews.
@@rachelsamuel3328 oh wooow thanks for the info, how do they blackmail the state ?
I have no words for the anti-Semitism in this chat
What do Orthodox folks have to do with it though?
@@MK-mh6lh Because Israel would not allow them to become citizens. They refused to convert to Judaism. They allow polygamy and forbid birth control. The leaders decide marriages, and they perform their own wedding ceremonies. They have no Jewish heritage and refuse to convert to Judaism, therefore they are not eligible for citizenship.
They entered Israel on temporary visas, which the goverment renewed. They were allowed to live, work and receive health care and were given loans to meet their basic needs. The Goverment left them alone and did not try to deport them. Their population kept growing and growing.
They denounced Israel and became more vocal with the claims that the real Jews were frauds and that only they were the True descendants of the Israelites.
Many in Israel consider them a cult and wanted them expelled. When proposals for deportation were discussed they held hunger strikes and had their many supporters in the US write op-ed pieces claiming racism on the part of Israel. Their legions in America had Congres send funds for their support and to establish a school for them in Dimona.
By 1990 the Israeli government and the BHI reached an agreement. The BHI would be granted tourist status for one year, until they were granted temporary residency status. The temporary residency would be reviewed in 5 years and then periodically thereafter.
Israel later agreed to build a permanent organic farming village in the Negev desert for the group. The BHI continued to live and work in Israel.
In 2003 they were granted permanent residency status for those on the list they provided to the Minister of the Interior.
They started in 1969 as 30 people and number between. 2,000 and 3,000 today. More and more people have joined their group and they were not in the original agreement.
These people were cracked down on and the Israeli government had sent deportation notices as they are residing illegally in the country
They use the Media to claim racism against them as they are Negroid and they go to the media and paint Israel as only expelling them because they are Black. Then America blacks make a ruckus and the international community loves to paint Israel as racist.

This newspaper story tells of a Jew from 1668 America. Solomon was listed as a “malata Jue“. The source tells us that the Englishmen of that time period thought the Jews were dark-skinned. The source then tells us in 1665 that a “respectable Portuguese Jew” in Jamaica was called “a black Jew“. The source tells us that F.L. Cardozo, a famous Jew in America during the Civil War time frame, was of Negro descent. The source also tells us that the term “mulatto” was occasionally applied to Spanish-Portuguese Jews.
Source: Fascinating ‘Malata Jue’ Story in Marcus’ New York (The Detroit Jewish News) 1969 A.D.
Mulato and Mulata in Cuba means someone of mixed African and Cuban indigenous (the tribes who lived on the island pre-colonisation, eg, Siboney) descent. It means of dual heritage.
Whilst the term "Mulato" is considered an insult in some cultures, due to an individual not being fully accepted as "belonging to" either people or culture, in Cuba it is considered incredibly honourable to be called a Mulata or a Mulato as they say the mixed genes of the original inhabitants and the Africans combine to make the most beautiful of women and the most handsome of men. In fact, there is a rum named Mulata in honour of the Mulatas of Cuba.

I beg to differ. Do not make blanket statements about African Americans. While some are still in the dark, the great awakening has begun for many who now know their true identity that had been stolen from us.

The Jewish faith has nothing to do with race or religion just think of all the Europeans who are native to Europe but yet call themselves Jews but for some reason it's not a problem but because these African Americans call themselves Jews , there seems to be a problem but anyone who knows the history of the crusades knows that the Jewish population at that time were dark skinned people who were mainly semitic however some were of African descent who was hard to distinguish from the Arab population at that time and they were exterminated by the crusaders and were replaced by those of European descent that's why today most Israelis are basically European who converted to judism however I don't believe the creator actually cared about their skin color it was he who chose the seed of Abraham to bring about the advent of the Messiah, The faith was the religion of the the people of Judah which are now called Jews. But the entering in of the Messiah put an end to it All everything henges on Yeshua who is the true temple of God where God is to be worshiped as it is today God does not dwell in buildings made by man..✌️
Those European Jews were called Jews by those who tried to get rid of them. And they atleast had a history of pharisaic Judaism under their belt with their customs and language. They neither claimed through revelation of Frank Cherry and William Crowdy (real Hebrew sounding names huh), that they were Jews.
If revelation was all it took to create a whole belief system, you should have no problem excepting the Mormon/Catholic/Shincheonji's religions as well.
Jews are not a religion. They are a nation of people from Judea. They all share DNA in common from the Diaspora communities around the world. They are a tribe of people. And they follow the laws of Torah. You can not just decide to become a Jew. In order to become a Jew, it is from one to three years of study, you must learn Hebrew, the law, culture, traditions, festivals etc. When you think you know enough, then you go before a Rabbinic court and are questioned, of you pass the questioning, you must undergo circumcision if male, even if already circumcised, and then to mikvah, and then you become a Jew. In a religion, you say one passage in an afternoon, and poof!! You are now that religion.
Most Israelis are Sabras (80%) and over 60% are from the MENA, less than 30% are from European ethnos, and less than 5% are European.
Interesting and amazing.

Bad Jews - A History of American Jewish Infighting
Emily Tamkin, a Jewish writer from the UK who writes about American Jewry, has recently published a book titled Bad Jews: A History of American Jewish Politics and Identities. The book’s publisher, Hurst, describes it as “A lively, thoughtful history of America’s Jews, exploring their complex relationships with national culture, identity, and politics-and each other.”
The book caused a bit of a stir among Jewish publications. JTA, for example, wrote that Tamkin “takes a different tack, tracing the history of American Jewry through the ways Jews on one side of social upheaval seek to discredit the very Jewishness of those on the other side.” The book itself focuses on what is happening in America, since “American Jewish history,” writes Tamkin, “is full of discussions and debates and hand-wringing over who is Jewish, and how to be Jewish, and what it means to be Jewish.”
When a student of mine told me about the book, he asked for my opinion on these questions, stating that they “haunt” virtually every Jewish person. He also noted that when Tamkin asked people, “What comes to mind when you hear ‘Bad Jew’?” the most common answer she got was “When I think of a ‘Bad Jew,’ I think of myself.” Since, as Tamkin writes, “The issue of what it means, or doesn’t, to be a Good Jew or a Bad Jew is particularly fraught at this moment in US history,” the student asked for my take on the topic.
So, first, we need to realize where the word Yehudi (Jewish) comes from. There is the known answer, that Yehudi comes from Yohuda (Judah), the name of the tribe that lived in the land of Israel during the Second Temple. However, there is another meaning to the word: Yehudi also comes from the word Yechudi, meaning united. This makes perfect sense if you remember that we were pronounced a nation only after we committed to love each other “as one man with one heart” at the foot of Mt. Sinai, yet, for the most part, this explanation did not receive the notoriety it deserves.
If you look at being Jewish through the spectacle of Jewish unity, as I do, then being a good Jew means first and foremost that you want to unite with all the Jews, that this is what really matters to you, your prime value. If Jewishness is about unity, then a Jew is a person who knows, feels, understands, and even spreads the idea that the most important thing is to be connected in ties of love with all the Jews, regardless of denomination, customs, political views, or any other issue that currently divides and splinters the Jewish people.
The author wrote that one of the answers she got to the question about the meaning of being a bad Jew was “someone whose conception of Judaism doesn’t have applications to the wider world.” I understand where this answer comes from. It is with good reason Jews gave the correction of the world such a pivotal place in their identity. We even gave that mission its own Hebrew term, Tikkun Olam (Hebrew for “Correction of the World”).
However, we must know what it means to correct the world, to be responsible for it, or even to care about the world. Tikkun Olam are not simply words; they imply a very specific task, and until we accomplish it, we will not be “good Jews.”
At the “inauguration” of our people, we were commanded to unite “as one man with one heart,” as RASHI interprets. Immediately after, we were declared a nation and were tasked with being “a light to the nations.”
In other words, our unity and our obligation to the world are indivisible. We cannot be a light to the nations if we are not united. At the same time, we cannot unite unless we do it in order to be a light to the nations.
When our ancestors united for the first time, under the guidance of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they were not a biologically related group. They were an eclectic crowd that was taken by the idea that all the people should unite, and we should not succumb to our ego. This is why Abraham advocated kindness and mercy, to teach people how to rise above their self-absorption and care for one another.
Abraham was a maverick, a pioneer, a trailblazer, but thanks to him, these noble ideas are now universal. As a nation that formed out of disparate tribes and clans, it was our duty to be the living proof of Abraham’s paradigm. This is why we became a nation only after we united, and not a moment prior.
Since our inception, we have known that unity is our “secret weapon.” However, we never understood why, what was the secret of the strength in our unity. The secret is not that unity itself makes us undefeatable, but that our unity dissolves the world’s hatred toward us and turns it into respect and awe. It gives the world the example of unity that it needs so that all of humanity can unite, as well.
Not only we received a message when we were at the foot of Mt. Sinai. At that moment, the nations of the world received the knowledge that we received the calling. Since then, they have been waiting for us to live up to it. This is why they support us when we are united, and scold us when we are divided.
Being a good Jew or a bad Jew, therefore, is not a judgment we pass on each other or on ourselves. It is determined by our commitment to the world, which we fulfill through our efforts to unite among ourselves and serve as an example that if we-the most divided nation, whose members often abhor one another-can unite, then the whole world can, as well.

Traveling Clatt are you doing research before you do the videos on the various groups. Please learn more about these groups. Many of the black Hebrew Israelites have been violent and espoused violence. Or is this group different from other Hebrew Israelites? How do their beliefs, practices, traditions, etc. differ from Israelis and from other Israeli Jews and Israelis in general ? I'm not saying you should portray them in negative light - not at all!
But we'd like to hear the whole story from various perspectives! Thanks for showing the world what an amazing country Israel is.
The world, mistakenly, often sees Israel as intolerant and oppressive but your videos are showing how Israel has many, many different types of groups and is very tolerant! They won’t tolerate terrorism of course and way too many Israelis have died. But I have to say that Israel is one of the most tolerant places I’ve ever visited and is absolutely and definitely one of the most tolerant places - probably the most tolerant place in that part of the world!!
He isn’t there for all representations of Hebrew Israelites. This video is about the community in Dimona. If he goes to Rome, and interviews someone in a Catholic Church, do you expect it to represent Christians worldwide?
as we can see from this whole series, the views are much more important than doing research. None of these videos are doing anything to promote peace they are only repeating the media biased narrative of one side that is suffering in the hands of the "brutal" Israelis. He doesnt even know what the issue is and thinks he will bring peace by pandering to made up claims.
@@TheQuietStorm42 you missed my point. And I didn’t say they do or should represent any worldwide group. TTC showed what these few people in this video told him about their existence in Israel and from their viewpoint.
It would be interesting to know what other informed and knowledgeable people, Israelis in particular, have to say about some of the things said in TTC's videos on this interesting topic and especially what was discussed in his videos on this group.
I’ll like to know about the group in Demonia from other's informed perspectives.

So many people forget that the reason there is a chosen people is because God set them apart to worship him rightly, a people to be separated from the idolators of the world -- Those people through whom all the nations of the earth would be blessed. If for any other reason you believe you are those people but do not believe that, you are sadly mistaken.
I want to do the same he used of spelled out the website
They are not Israel or Palestinian. They are Afro-Americans who believe they are the real Israelites of the Bible.
And in the States, they extremely vi0 lent against J3ws.
@@sydpatrice4491 Yes, but they all have different beliefs, some believe in Jesus and Christianity, they follow the King James Bible. Some others believe other things. But they all believe the African Americans are the true Hebrews and Jews are not. Sad!!!
Former slaves raped with people of the bible, now in a delusion that their rapist fathers are from Israel.
@@shainazion4073 It’s very fractured group, however the do agree on the belief that they are the true Israelites and Jews are imposters. I take issue with that along with as I said the vi0 lent against J3ws. Factions of the Hebrew Israelites are responsible for beating up J3ws in New York as well as other major American cities and towns. It’s not unusual to see them on street corners screaming the most vile things against us. You won’t see that on the News.
@@aan2960 R@ped by people of the bible as in New Testament, not the Tanakh.
Hey, when are you coming to the philippines and continuing your house update ......🤔
Em
I was vibing till I saw eastern pagan bowls for healing
generally informative about the hebrew israelites as I myself Im black
Em
Of course. These are believers in God--old Testament, but no acknowledgment of His son.
If they knew this, they wouldn't be practicing sound bowls etc.
All religions are pagan dude. Real spirituality have nothing to be with any of these garbage control hungry religions..
..em..
@@mohdfahmi8841 em.. yea fuck em all
Why do we say Hebrew Israelites? Hebrews are the Israelites.
Because the are blacks that believe they are Israelites, yet have no real basis for their belief. It's a baseless claim. She said she moved their in the 80s. She's sounds like she's from America.
I want to go on holiday there
Shalom cousin!!!!

It explain the rough history, been actively trying to find a way for me to get to Iraq to actually document my families history!
Am I allowed to come and live in the community? If so, how can I receive an information packet.
No, you can not legally come to Israel as a citizen unless Jewish.
"Jewish..." no its Hebrew you have to enter as a Hebrew...
Jewish was not found in the so called older parts of the Bible you see Hebrews not so much Jewish Jew is a NT connected word representing the tribe of Judah or Yahudah...
you don't see other tribes calling themselves Jew you see others like Anna called a Asherite...
real Hebrew order goes from Judah to other tribes only right considering they are children of Jacob...
Beautiful people ❤
🤔Interesting content & good place/nice community😇🙏👍

The men clothes suppose to have fringes at the end if there garments to remember the commandments
King james version
numbers 15:37
The Law of Tassels
37And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 38Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 39And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: 40That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 41I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God
No fringes needed. The New Covenant is within the Israelites because OUR SALVATION came down to give us the Holy Spirit. Next time OUR SALVATION come down from heaven it will be destroy the synagogue of satan and the unrighteous.
@@seymourintl9155 so the most high commanded it, but you're saying they're not needed.... no scripture says that.... and they're eating sea moss... Leviticus 11 tells us what to eat out of the waters(fins and scales only) these people are off
I love my people! We're waking up praise Yah!
A Commandment from The Lord does not change!!!
@@seymourintl9155amen
Just be you, and love Jesus Christ. It's the only way.
They seem like Messianic Christians. Definitely not Jewish.
They don't believe in Jesus or Christianity
Are these black isrealites from america?
Please Not " Black Hebrew Israelites" just Hebrew Israelites. Thats how they are called. 48:40
Praise Yahweh
