 Kulanu, an organization dedicated to Jewish outreach, has sent emissaries from Israel to help the Abayudaya practice mainstream Judaism and work to be recognized by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.North American Black Judaism is a religious movement that originated as a product of the Black Hebrew Israelite nationalist movement after the emancipation of the Black slaves following the American Civil War.According to a number of scholars who support what is referred to as the "identification theory", after centuries of being labeled with pejoratives, the Black American communities' urge to find a new collective identity that will represent them in positive light drove them to congregate under the label "Hebrew Israelite", essentially painting themselves as descendants of the tribes of Israel.
