Does Black Jews Exist as Black American's?
In recent months the question of the existence whether Jewish Black American exist. Well, I am here to shade some light on this subject to say "YES," we do exist, live and in living color.
According to Wikipedia, The American Jewish community includes Jews with African-American background, many of mixed marriages. Black Jews belong to each of the major American Jewish denominations—Orthodox, Conservative, Reform—and to the smaller movements as well. Like their white Jewish counterparts, there are also Black Jewish secularists and Black Jews who may rarely or never take part in religious practices.[1]
Estimates of the number of Black Jews in the United States range from 20,000[2] to 200,000.[3]
There are several predominately black synagogues in The United States, such as Beth Shalom B'nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation, whose current rabbi is a cousin in law of President Barack Obama.

The Black Jew are Black American's which are a part of our great Black heritage. When one us say that we "THE BLACK PEOPLE are not the creation of God is working of a premise to be that stumbling block that Christian's from a child in Christ to our maturity has the power to recognize the tricks and the deception of Satan. As Christians, as Black Hebrew Israelite in the Body in the Black American community we have the power and glory for ever to worship God. Worship no man and we must resist the devil and he will flee from you. This is living proof.
