Who Are the Hebrew Israelites?
Broadcasting Friday, October 23, 2026
You've heard what people say about Hebrew Israelites. Now hear from the women who actually walk this journey.
A conversation that challenges assumptions.
When people hear the term Hebrew Israelite, what comes to mind? For many, their understanding comes from social media, street-corner preaching, news coverage, or secondhand opinions. But how much of that represents the people who identify as Hebrew Israelites and how they actually live?
In this episode of The SheBrew Perspective, the ladies come together to discuss what it means to identify as a Hebrew Israelite, the scriptural foundation behind their beliefs, and the misconceptions surrounding their community.
The conversation explores identity through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the significance of covenant responsibility, and the importance of walking according to Torah. The ladies also address the perception that Hebrew Israelites are hateful, exclusionary, or all share the same beliefs and practices.
Throughout the discussion, they emphasize that understanding one's identity carries responsibility, including how that identity is represented and shared with others. The episode closes by exploring how the ladies navigate conversations about their beliefs with family members, friends, coworkers, and people who may not understand their faith.
