Black Hebrew Israelites & Jews - with Charles Fain Lehman

Kanye West has espoused views held by the Black Hebrew Israelites. When basketball star Kyrie Irving was suspended for refusing to apologize for antisemitism, Black Hebrew Israelites came to his defence in large numbers outside the Barclay Center. Charles Fain Lehman is Cantor Eyal Bitton's guest as they explore the questions: What do the Black Hebrew Israelites believe? Should Jews view Black Hebrew Israelism as a threat?

Charles Fain Lehman is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a contributing editor of City Journal, and a 2023-24 Robert Novak fellow with the Fund for American Studies.
