Returning to the Land of Israel
Using Brit-Am as "token" Jews
(1. John Hulley: PROPOSED MEETING BETWEEN SOME JEWS AND EPHRAIMITES
(2. A Friendly Critique of John Hulley

<<As far as we are concerned We attended the meeting as REPRESENTATIVES OF BRIT-AM.
Brit-Am sees itself as representing BOTH Judah and Joseph in their mutual need to recognize the ancestral identity of Joseph and to work for the fraternal common good of each party culminating with an eventual re-unification.
We consider attempts to restrict the outreach of Brit-Am to Judah as antagonistic to us. Reaching Judah is VERY important. Neverthless the basic aim of Brit-Am is to impart our message to Joseph and that is what we do. In this matter Brit-Am represents both Judah and Joseph.
<<Not only that but we consider ourselves (at least in potential) the valid representatives of Joseph.
<<Brit-Am has the potential to become the central address for all serious Ephraimite issues. That is what Brit-Am exists for.

3. Unite Our Heart Discussion Group Opens
From: Steve Mathe <eliasaph@uniteourheart.com>

Yair, Shalom!

I am pleased to announce the start of Unite Our Heart's new discussion group.  It is intended to be of interest to all those who are returning to their Israelite heritage and want to discuss the spiritual issues relevant to that journey. The purpose of the group is an expression of the overall purpose of Unite Our Heart.com, for responders to the Divine wake-up call to become partakers of the initial regathering efforts toward the Ten Tribes which are to characterize the Work of Elijah in the last days.  The emphasis in this regathering effort is on fostering the taking of the first steps of the return from the "spiritual captivity" of the Ten Tribes. To facilitate this return, UOH Discussion Group hopes to follow our father Yaakov's injunction; "Gather yourselves together." (Gen. 49:2). This is reiterated by Isaiah, "Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations...." (Isa. 45:20).  Though we may be scattered at this time, we understand these injunctions as orders to build "communities" of those traveling in the same direction. Given our starting points where we woke up to who we are, we may be on diverse paths of return. However, we hope for a convergence along the "straight paths of the Torah." (Jer. 31:9)
To this end we foster honest discussion of spiritual issues that come up on this journey.  We hope, that on the long run, the discoveries that may emerge form such a forum will benefit current and future seekers of the "straight paths."  Details of the initial subjects and sign up procedures are found on the Bulettin Board by following the Discussion Group link from the home page of http://www.uniteourheart.com.

6. The Khazars from Simeon
Eldad HaDani (ca. 875 CE): <<The Tribe of Simeon and the half tribe of Manasseh are in the Land of the Khazars six months distant from Jerusalem. They are countless and take tribute from 25 kingdoms>>.

The Schecter "Unknown Khazar" Document (ca. 850 CE):
<< Now they say in our land
20 that our fathers were of the tribe of Simeon, but we cannot insist
21 on the truth of this matter.>>

Midrash Ten Exiles:
<<It happened that Mar Jacob son of Eliezer traveled in the land of Kazaria and he saw there the tribe of Simeon, and he said: 'Woe  to us that saw the fulfillment of that which was written: "And I will scatter you among the nations" (Leviticus 26:33). And when he later saw a Kuzari who converted to Judaism, he quoted, "and yet for all that when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them" (Leviticus 26:44).>>

Akton De Mar Yaakov [A Midrashic-Rabbinical source, published by Carmolly]:
<<While the sons of Gomer became idolaters their brother Kuzar stood up and rebuked them. Said the Almighty unto him, By your life! I will reward you! Immediately Kuzar was separated from his brothers and went to the Land of Kazaria. The Almighty arranged matters that the Children of Simeon should come in to his land. His children [of Kuzar] intermarried with the Sons of Jacob, they became righteous converts, and their fame went out into the world.>>

We have valuable sources that are verifiable concerning the Khazars and the identity of the Lost Ten Tribes in general.
Helping Brit-Am helps reveal the truth and the truth can only be of ultimate benefit to everybody.

7. Proverbs 8:14-21
[Proverbs 8:14] COUNSEL IS MINE, AND SOUND WISDOM: I AM UNDERSTANDING; I HAVE STRENGTH.
This is Biblical Wisdom or knowledge inculcated by learning Scripture.

[Proverbs 8:15] BY ME KINGS REIGN, AND PRINCES DECREE JUSTICE.
The truth found in the Bible is the same as that used by rulers or by which the world is run.

[Proverbs 8:16] BY ME PRINCES RULE, AND NOBLES, EVEN ALL THE JUDGES OF THE EARTH.
The Bible reveals truths that great people may be only subsciously aware of but act by.

[Proverbs 8:17] I LOVE THEM THAT LOVE ME; AND THOSE THAT SEEK ME EARLY SHALL FIND ME.
Seek and you will find,

[Proverbs 8:18] RICHES AND HONOUR ARE WITH ME; YEA, DURABLE RICHES AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.

[Proverbs 8:19] MY FRUIT IS BETTER THAN GOLD, YEA, THAN FINE GOLD; AND MY REVENUE THAN  CHOICE SILVER.
This knowledge is like a weapon and a choice possession in one.

[Proverbs 8:20] I LEAD IN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, IN THE MIDST OF THE PATHS OF JUDGMENT:
Do good and good will come to you.  Doing good in Biblical terms means not only performing good deeds though this may be more important than other matters. Doing good also involves understanding the ways of the Almighty.

[Proverbs 8:21] THAT I MAY CAUSE THOSE THAT LOVE ME TO INHERIT SUBSTANCE; AND I WILL FILL  THEIR TREASURES.
This could better be translated as saying:
FOR THOSE WHO LOVE ME I HAVE [WHAT TO GIVE] AND THEIR STORES I WILL FILL UP.
This latter translation fits the simple Hebrew Original better
and it is more open to interpretation.
if you seek the wisdom of the Bible you will find it.
You may also well also become rich and succesful.
At all events you will be rewarded in ways that are beyond material measure.
