Living Healthy/Hebrew Israelites
Before you knew you were an Israelite, you have probably eaten a lot of unclean and unhealthy food but now that you know the truth, will you still eat these unclean foods and violate the law or still eat unhealthy food and destroy the health that God gives you. My answer would be no. It is always important to read over and over the Torah to know the foods we need to eat. We must not eat pork,camels,dork, etc..If we could avoid eating meat, it would be way better. The fact that we're have a new spirit, a new knowledge we must be an example to the gentiles.

TV on the Shabbat
There is nothing wrong with openning a TV on the sabbath but it's what you're watching on the TV that's important. For example, watching Terminator, people killing people or watching Dracula. Is this the way you set the sabbath apart according to the bible(Exodus 20:8-11).According to the bible, you must not do any work. Ladies and gentlemen, work starts in your mind. If you have no willingness to go to work one day, you won't. It's the same thing for the sabbath. If you can't rest your mind and your body, you're working on the sabbath.Instead of thinking about God, you're wasting your time watching Lakers. The sabbath is sanctified and on the sabbath, your actions must be sanctified.
Opening of the shabbat
When openning the shabbat, it is always good to sing few songs. It doesn't matter in what language you sing but it's always advisable to sing in our forefather's language, Hebrew.Make sure the song is appropriate with the circumstance and that the song is about the shabbat. After that, read psalm 92(Tehilim 92) or Genesis 2:1-3(Bereshit 2:1), then pray. Don't do a 15 minutes pray making every sleep. Make a short 3-5 minutes prayer. If you know a temple, go there to worship or meet with Israelite brothers to read the bible. Avoid unessential conversations such as talking about politics,sports,women. Instead read the scriptures and that will help you.
Appropriate names for Hebrew Israelites
The first thing all Hebrew Israelites must know is that your name is not "Black Hebrew Israelites" or "African Hebrew Israelites". This is because we know the original Hebrews are black. It's like saying "BLack Negro" since both black and negro means the same thing. The appropriate names for the entire Nation of Israel are " Israelites" "Hebrews" "Hebrew Israelites" not Jewish people. But if you come from the tribe of Judah(So called Negro in U.S.A), you are a Jew or if you come from the tribe of Levi(so called Haitians,Lemba etc) you're a levite. As people of God, we must correct people when they call us with unappropriate names.
