The Commandment Keepers are a non-mainstream sect of black Jews, founded by Rabbi Arthur Wentworth Matthew, who believe that they are direct descendants of Jews from West Africa. The movement was founded in 1919 and since 1962 has been based in a building at 1 West 123rd Street in Harlem, New York City. It is a black congregation that has always had white visitors and occasionally white members. They use the De Sola Pool prayerbook, the Hertz Chumash, and offer standard orthodox Sephardi style Sabbath and Jewish Holiday services.
