SH'MA YISRAEL YHWH ELOHEYNU YHWH EKHAD
(HEAR O' ISRAEL YHWH OUR GOD YHWH IS ONE)

We are Sh’ma Yisrael: an organization dedicated to the glorification of YHWH (The One, True and Living God) and the restoration of His chosen people, Israel (the so-called Black and West Indian). We are God fearing, commandment keeping Israelites. We are not a gang, cult, hate group, or secret society. Our aim is to uplift and enlighten all mankind to the truth and glorify the Name of The Eternal Creator (YHWH) through the light of His Law (the Torah).

"The end of the matter, all having been heard: fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole [duty of] man. For God shall bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil." - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

We also aim to enlighten our people (Israel) to the knowledge of self, the knowledge of the True God and the knowledge of His Divine Law. Our actions are governed by the commandments, ordinances and statutes of the Torah, as they were presented to Moses to be given to the Children of Israel. We do not believe in the alteration or elimination of any of the commandments that are found within the Torah.

“You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHWH your God which I command you.” - Deuteronomy 4:2

By The Creator’s Law, we do not follow any other doctrines. We must only accept The Law (Torah) as it was given to Moses and not follow any changes or additions made after.

In the 21st century we now find the so-called Black man in an extremely dire state. The ghettos and inner cities are filled with more innocent bloodshed, gang violence, teenage pregnancy, police brutality and drug & alcohol abuse than it has ever seen. The highest rates of AIDS, cancer and heart disease occur in black communities. The family structure of black people in America and The West Indies has been in rapid decay. Respect, order and common decency are abandoned in our communities. The mass majority of our people still live in poverty and our condition seems to be getting worse and worse by the minute. Obedience to the Creator through the application of his Commandments (Torah) is the only solution for the so-called black man’s condition within his lands of captivity and oppression.

"And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt bethink thyself among all the nations, whither YHWH thy God hath driven thee, and shalt return unto YHWH thy God, and hearken to His voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul; that then YHWH thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither YHWH thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine that are dispersed be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will YHWH thy God gather thee, and from thence will He fetch thee. And YHWH thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and He will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. And YHWH thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love YHWH thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And YHWH thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of YHWH, and do all His commandments which I command thee this day. And YHWH thy God will make thee over-abundant in all the work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good; for YHWH will again rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy fathers; if thou shalt hearken to the voice of YHWH thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto YHWH thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.” - Deuteronomy 30

It is therefore the duty of every Israelite to reflect righteousness. Not only is it our responsibility to teach what is right and true but to live what is right and true.

“Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine; and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.” - Exodus 19:5-6

"Observe therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples." - Deuteronomy 4:2
