Hebrew Israelite movement
The Hebrew Israelite movement is a diverse group of religious communities that identify as descendants of the ancient Israelites. They often emphasize a return to biblical teachings, observing certain customs and laws from the Torah. While some members focus on cultural identity and spiritual revival, others hold views about racial or ethnic heritage, sometimes asserting that they are God's chosen people. The movement is not monolithic; beliefs and practices vary widely among different groups, ranging from mainstream religious observance to more radical or nationalist perspectives. Overall, it reflects a desire to reconnect with perceived ancestral roots and biblical traditions.
