 Along with adopting the new Identity, the "Hebrew Israelite" communities adopted a form of Judaism (or created the syncretist religion which is later labeled as "Black Judaism") as the centerpiece of such nationalist movement.Theologically speaking, Black Judaism is widely seen as a branch of African American religion instead of a branch of Western historical Judaism, Judaism in the common sense.Black Judaism is essentially a messianic belief system which labels the Black community as the true Chosen People.
