Latter-day Saints believe themselves to be either direct descendants of the Israelites, or adopted into the House of Israel. As such, Judaism is mentioned in Mormonism; Jews are considered to be "Kin Blood" and are respected in the Mormon faith system. LDS assert peaceful coexistence with the Jewish people, whom they recognize as Israelites who simply never lost the knowledge that they are Israelites. The Church is consequently very philo-Semitic by doctrine, and the Jewish people are generally held in high esteem; they are looked upon as a covenant people of God.

Mormon beliefs with regard to membership in the House of Israel are generally not accepted by the Jewish community, and in Judaism there is no belief or mention of a connection to Mormons or Mormonism. The Mormons' claim to membership in the House of Israel has led to some complex relationships with Judaism. The concept of non-Jews claiming membership in the House of Israel produces various cultural and interfaith problems. It should be noted that, although interactions between Jews and Mormons, at times, can be very tense, it seldom if ever rises to the level of Anti-Semitism against the Jews or Anti-Mormonism against the Mormon people, and Mormonism is a comparatively philo-Semitic religion.
