1. Letter of
Support for Brit-Am
Dear Friends at Brit Am:
I am including an additional contribution for the support of your work. I
appreciate your regular email newsletters on Tribes issues and also, issues of
concern in Israel.
We will continue to support your work and efforts tracing the tribes of Israel,
And working toward the return of the Whole of Israel (including tribes of
Ephraim-Joseph). It is the diligent effort and work of many like you who are
bring about the fulfillment of prophecy in Israel today. Please keep up your
work and keep the e-mails coming. I thoroughly enjoy your Torah portion
messages, and the analysis of various other scripture portions. I try to read
some of the various updates on tribe research from you, Steven Collins and
others. I don't always succeed in reading, but I do try to save them for future
reference.
I am especially appreciative of your Jerusalem News bulletins. Since I do not
have the time to go online and check out what is happening in Israel (and the
normal American news media do not cover much if any that goes on in Israel and
when it does it is slanted favoring the philistine terrorists.), I rely heavily
upon you and others like you to provide the personal Israeli perspective on the
regular events and goings on.
Wishing you, your family and other Brit-Am associates a blessed year and
continued prayer for your work. Also, prayer for peace of Jerusalem but a true
Peace of HaShem over the whole of Israel. (the Biblical boundaries, not those
defined by U.N. ! !, which certainly contain all the OCCUPIED territories
currently OCCUPIED by the Edomites, Philistines and descendents of Ishmael.)
Shalom, Richard & Betty
2. Charles Voss:
"natural allies"
Shalom Yair,
I hope all is well with you, here is the $40 check for the books "Role to Rule"
and "Scandinavian Secrets" if you would send them.
Our works are natural allies concerning the tribes (all of them) . I have a
couple of references to your site on the uneg.org site.
It seems that our detractors are becoming very similar and in some cases
identical.
If there is any way I can help you further our common cause please let me know.
I know a number of people here in the Southeastern USA that hold you in high
esteem.
Keep up the good work.
Your Hebrew brother,
Charles
3.Cam Rea: The
Need to be aware of Israelite Ancestry in General
Subject: Jewish Family Names
In regard to those wanting to know if this is Jewish or is that Jewish may not
be the field Brit-Am is focused. It is an interesting subject to dive into, and
I myself have wondered a bit like most people who take an interest in this
subject or field. I know nothing when it comes to what tribe I am from. I could
be a Danite, Simon, Levite, maybe a mix. Who knows, other then the almighty.
What I have found to be most important is the fact that I am an Israelite. That
is enough for me. To look for a sign of Jewishness is your line is not
important, but it is interesting I do admit. I myself like to do research on my
family tree and I do encourage others to do so as well on their family tree.
But to make a long story short one must quit looking for a Jew, and realise that
all of us Israelites are part Judah, Dan, Asher, Simon, Levi, etc. It's not so
much of the tribes that is important, but that fact that we are one tribe that
belongs to I AM.
But hey, I could be wrong in that thinking as well.
Cam Rea
4. Question on
the Magazine
From: "LES"
Subject: Brit AM Truth Publication
Morn'g Yair
I have purchased this publication in the past and have Volumes 6 through 9.
Are volumes 1-5 still available? I would be grateful for just a photo copy or a pdf file of them.
Are there volumes available after Vol 9?
I would be glad to purchase them if you could tell me how much.
Answer:
The magazine went through several name changes
There were five issues of "tribesman", issues (no.6) under the name "BRIT-AM"
one issue "BRIT-AM Magazine"
and two issues under the name "Brit-Am TRUTH".
We have copies of only 8 and 9 left.
We do however have the issues on file.
If we can sometime in the future we will put out a hard-cover reprinting of all
past issues of the
magazine up until issue no.7.
The magazine is a very worthwhile publication.
Soon we hope to put out a new issue and after that produce issues every six
weeks or so.
The magazine is also profitable and justifies itself and helps Brit-Am in
general but needs a
quite modest capital outlay
which we are struggling to obtain in addition to other obligations that have to
be met.
5. Ancient Britons
from "Armenia" or France? (a)
Question:
From: Shelagh McKenna
re "Brit-Am Now"-952
#1. Origin of the English
Question:
Regarding Article #1:
I have read 'Armorica' instead of 'Armenia' in the Anglo Saxon
Chronicle. I hope it hasn't been amended.
The quotation from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle said:
"The first inhabitants were the Britons,
who came from Armenia, and first peopled Britain
southward. Then
happened it, that the Picts came south from Scythia..."
The Britons are traced to Armenia.
The original version does say "Armenia".
"Armenia" today is in the southern Caucasus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia
In ancient times the term "Armenia" at various periods was applied
to Northern Syria, Eastern Turkey, Northern Iraq, and most of
the
Caucasus region.
Armenia in Classical terms bordered "Scythia".
Conceptually if the Picts could be considered to have come from
"Scythia" there is no reason
why the Britons could not have come from Armenia.
"Armenia" in its Classical sense area to which the Northern
Israelites had first been taken.
On the other hand,
"Armorica" usually means Britanny in France
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany
Wikipedia quotes the Roman historian, Pliny (NH 2.17.105), as
applying the term to Aquitania
which was also in France but further to the south.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armorica
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallia_Aquitania
One does find Early Chroniclers using Classical terms for areas
that have similar names.
They could conceivably have applied the name "Armenia" to
"Armorica" but we would expect to find other examples of this being done
before accepting the possibility. Early Chroniclers were familiar with the
Classical
Literatureand would have known where Armenia was.
A Translator has no right to substitute "Armorica" for "Armenia"
where "Armenia" is the word used in the original.
At the most he can add a footnote saying that in his
opinion "Armorica" is intended.
6. Ancient Britons
from "Armenia" or France? (b)
From: Shelagh McKenna <s_mckenna@shaw.ca>
Dear Mr. Davidy,
You are right. There are six manuscripts, all saying 'Armenia'. I'm glad I never
quoted the mistranslation.
I still believe that the ancient Britons came from Armorica, because this
information is in Bede's 'Ecclesiastical History'.
However, I cannot assume that the writer of the Preface to the 'Anglo Saxon
Chronicle' was simply misreading Bede.
In any case, I think the ancient Britons from Armorica and the ancient Britons
you are studying were different groups.
Thank you for your response,
Shelagh McKenna

Dear Yair
Read nothing lately regarding Radio Broadcasts. How's it going in that regard?
