It is unclear whether Israel was always the end-goal for the community, or whether Ben Ammi received another vision in 1969, when the community was in Liberia, telling him to take the community to their real promised land: Israel. The African Hebrew Israelite community holds that this ambiguity does not lessen their motivations for a home in Israel. The group aimed to immigrate to Israel under the Israeli Law of Return, which states that all Jews who emigrate to Israel will be granted citizenship. However, in order to be considered Jewish under the law, a person must be born of a Jewish mother, or have been converted to Judaism, and is not an active member of another religion.
