Israelites

From Adventures in Odyssey Wiki

The Israelites was a "good gang" that played a major role in the climax of the Blackgaard saga. The group was started by Whit and originally used as a way to bring the Bible to life for the kids of Odyssey. However, shortly after the gang began, they took on a different purpose, doing good deeds around town. The gang members went their separate ways after about two years.

After Jack Allen and Jason Whittaker met one of the members, Billy MacPherson, years after the fact, Jack decided to restart the gang to combat the growing problem of vandalism from the Bones of Wrath, with the help of Billy. Members of the new group included Charles, Erica, Courtney, Sam, Lucy, and Connie. However, after Butch, who served as a spy for the Bones, was found out and beaten up, Jack shut down the gang.

The gang experienced a third revival when Jason Whittaker decided to bring them back together, determining that the battle still needed to be fought. The Israelites continued to clean up vandalism, and, near the end of the saga, ultimately brought down Jellyfish. Presumably after the saga's conclusion, the Israelites disbanded, as they have not been heard from since.
