Barack Obama Vs The Black Hebrew Israelites

In 2016, NetFlix released 'Barry', a film chronicling young Barack Obama's stay at Columbia University in New York City. One scene shows the man who would later become the President of the United States debating a religious proselytizer on the street. This man was a "Black Hebrew Israelite". The "Hebrew Israelite" movement began in 1969 and was headquartered at 1 West 125th St. in Harlem (near Obama's apartment on W 109th between Amsterdam and Columbus). Christian apologist and researcher VOCAB MALONE creatively uses this mini-debate as a launching pad to explore this militant and mysterious sect. The timing is just right; this faith is been spreading like wildfire in most major city centers across the US. This book fills a void, as there are no major works on 1West Hebrew Israelism. Now a primer exists in 'BARACK OBAMA vs the BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITES' by Vocab Malone.

This book primarily outlines the essential history and beliefs of 1West Hebrew Israelism. 1Westers comprise the most vicious, visible, and vibrant branch of Black Hebrew Israelism. This book is a great start to be equipped to engage this new ideology.

As a preteen Black male growing up in Mount Vernon, New York, there were a series of moments, incidents and wounds that caused me to retreat inward in despair and escape into a world of imagination. For five years I protected my family secrets from authority figures, affluent Whites and middle class Blacks while attending an unforgiving gifted-track magnet school program that itself was embroiled in suburban drama. It was my imagination that shielded me from the slights of others, that enabled my survival and academic success. It took everything I had to get myself into college and out to Pittsburgh, but more was in store before I could finally begin to break from my past. "Boy @ The Window" is a coming-of-age story about the universal search for understanding on how any one of us becomes the person they are despite-or because of-the odds. It's a memoir intertwined with my own search for redemption, trust, love, success-for a life worth living. "Boy @ The Window" is about one of the most important lessons of all: what it takes to overcome inhumanity in order to become whole and human again.

Named Outstanding Academic Title by CHOICE Winnter of the Wesley-Logan Prize of the American Historical Association Winner of the Byron Caldwell Smith Book Prize Winner of the 2014 Albert J. Raboteau Book Prize for the Best Book in Africana Religions Jacob S. Dorman offers new insights into the rise of Black Israelite religions in America, faiths ranging from Judaism to Islam to Rastafarianism all of which believe that the ancient Hebrew Israelites were Black and that contemporary African Americans are their descendants. Dorman traces the influence of Israelite practices and philosophies in the Holiness Christianity movement of the 1890s and the emergence of the Pentecostal movement in 1906. An examination of Black interactions with white Jews under slavery shows that the original impetus for Christian Israelite movements was not a desire to practice Judaism but rather a studied attempt to recreate the early Christian church, following the strictures of the Hebrew Scriptures. A second wave of Black Israelite synagogues arose during the Great Migration of African Americans and West Indians to cities in the North. One of the most fascinating of the Black Israelite pioneers was Arnold Josiah Ford, a Barbadian musician who moved to Harlem, joined Marcus Garvey's Black Nationalist movement, started his own synagogue, and led African Americans to resettle in Ethiopia in 1930. The effort failed, but the Black Israelite theology had captured the imagination of settlers who returned to Jamaica and transmitted it to Leonard Howell, one of the founders of Rastafarianism and himself a member of Harlem's religious subculture. After Ford's resettlement effort, the Black Israelite movement was carried forward in the U.S. by several Harlem rabbis, including Wentworth Arthur Matthew, another West Indian, who creatively combined elements of Judaism, Pentecostalism, Freemasonry, the British Anglo-Israelite movement, Afro-Caribbean faiths, and occult kabbalah. Drawing on interviews, newspapers, and a wealth of hitherto untapped archival sources, Dorman provides a vivid portrait of Black Israelites, showing them to be a transnational movement that fought racism and its erasure of people of color from European-derived religions. Chosen People argues for a new way of understanding cultural formation, not in terms of genealogical metaphors of -survivals, - or syncretism, but rather as a -polycultural- cutting and pasting from a transnational array of ideas, books, rituals, and social networks.

The blatant conspiracy by the world governments to deny a certain group of people of their history, heritage and legacy is the biggest crime that has ever been committed in the history of the world. For years the political powers along with some of the most influential church leaders in the world have been a part of a major cover up to keep the Hebrew people in a state of mental and spiritual bondage that began way before the early years of the slave trade. To the general reader the Hebrew people are the chosen first fruit of The Most High, they have been persecuted, rapped, sold into slavery, murdered and oppressed, and all because they are the chosen people of The Most High. These are just some of the issues surrounding the Hebrews today, this book will explore what is the true purpose of the Hebrew Israelites and how they are beginning to wake up to and deal with their true identity today. This book also explores how The Most High is carefully placing his people back into the natural position as their 400 years of captivity from 1619 to 2019 finally comes to an end. They will be the new rulers of the earth and show how that The Most High has planned for them to lead other nation's way before they became disobedient by not following his laws, statues and commandments. Genesis 15:13

The Black Hebrew Israelite movement claims that African Americans are descendants of the Ancient Israelites and has slowly become a significant force in African American religion. This Element provides a general overview of the BHI movement, its diverse history/ies, ideologies, and practices. The Element shows how different factions and trends have taken the forefront at different periods over its 140-year history, leading to the current situation where diverse iterations of the movement exist alongside each other, sharing some core concepts while differing widely. In particular, the questions of how and why BHI has become a potent and attractive movement in recent years are addressed, arguing that it fulfils a specific religious need to do with identity and teleology, and represents a new and persistent form of Abrahamic religion.
