1. James Linduff: Noachide Law of USA
Subject: Re: "Brit-Am Now"-114: Keeping
the Law
Thanks Yair, for a very informative and well covered topic
Just an informative piece about your
recent posting most Americans ( unless
the went to law school) would know.
American law is based on the 7 general,
and 66 detailed precepts of Noachide
Law, and has been since the founding
of the country. By simply following
the civil law of the United States, you
can pretty much rest assured you are
keeping Noachide law as well.
FDA regulations pretty much keep the
Kosher regulation (i.e. not to eat the
flesh of a live animal) by proscribing
it with safe food regulations.
The other Noachide laws are usually
codified statutes in state and federal
law, and usually have been since the
1600's.
This was reinforced by a 1990 declaration
issued by then President George
Herbert Walker Bush, which reinforced
the recognition that Noachide law was
the basis of US Civil law, and called
for the spreading of this fact to all
people in the country as a means of
education.
For your info

with no problems. Blessings and
Shalom to you and your family. I have
greatly enjoyed your daily postings,
thank you for all of your hard work
and study. I hope to see you in Feb. as
my wife and I plan to come to Israel

Thanks again,

Hi Yair,
I received your contact letter, but
like some of the other folks I didn't
know what to do with it as it didn't
have a message on it.
I have told others about your website
and have forward some of your emails
to my friends. I have your two books,
Joseph and also Ephraim which were
very inspiring to me.
May the Eternal watch over you and
keep you safe there in Israel in these
perilous times. Keep up the good work.

Hi Yair,
Always enjoy your emails, from Brit-Am
and the Israeli News you provide.
May G-d Bless you..

Yair,
Just a note in response to your inquiry,
the highlight of my day is reading
all the posts on Brit-Am. Although
I do not respond often please be assured
of my appreciation for both you and
your ministry. I am now reading your
book Lost Israelite Identity and find
it fascinating. Keep up
the good work.

Dear Yair,
Just want to thank you again for your
resolve and dedication to getting the
Truth out about All Israel. Many of
us have felt an inner attachment to
Israel the country and to our Jewish
brothers. Although there are some
Theological debates among us, when
the Messiah appears He will correct
them. In the mean time we should continue
to get The Word out through
Brit-Am. I am retired and have a limited
income, but I will send support
each month as I am able. If all our
Members and readers would send what
they can each month there will be enough
to accomplish The Work. The G-d of
Abraham, Issac, and Jacob has brought
us all to this time to do this Work,
that is--"prepare the hearts of His
people". Each of us must do our best to
promote Brit-Am by word of mouth, in
written form, and by financial support.
In regard to sending funds to Brit-Am,
is there an address in the USA where
we can send the checks and money orders?
It costs $7.00 to obtain an
International Money Order from my bank,
and $9.00 plus to obtain a U.S.
Postal Service International Money
Order. If Brit-Am had a central address
funds could be sent there by check
or M.O. and converted into one financial
instrument. That would save the extra
expense of the International
instruments for each individual one
sent. Please, advise me.
May The Holy One of Israel continue
to Bless you and your work,
George
Texas
Comment: You do not need an international
money order. A local US check is
just as good (even better) in the State
of Israel.
Hi Yair
Always a pleasure to hear from you
Yair. As I said before, I believe that
you are involved in the most important
work on the face of the earth, as
God's heart is to re-unite the Two
Houses of Israel. Thank you for your
dedication to this most wonderful cause.
God bless you

3. Ms. Jan : Re: "Brit-Am Now"-114:
Keeping the Law
Mr. Davidi
In regard to those laws or teachings
which have a death penalty; Whether the
court imposes such a penalty or not;
the result is the same; death. A
diminishing of one's soul, a loss of
identity, and in regards to a people
group, death to a holy nation.
The Torah as I've seen it is both a
"constitutional law", is the moral
compass for individuals and the nation,
gives insight and understanding to
who G-d is and who we are, it is our
very identity; without it we are merely
another nation, and lo segulah.
People should not be afraid of the
Torah or the law, but to correctly gain
understanding, insight, to embrace
it as one embraces his brother; the Torah
is a tree of life for those who take
hold of it, happy are it's ways and all
it's paths are Shalom.
There are those of us who have found
that for now we embrace G-d's teaching
and instruction, the Torah, as we best
understand it; and to the degree in
which it is applicable, we agree with
G-d the Shabbat is a delight; we
understand we're all in transition;
we practice and learn and do for now;
looking forward to a future of greater
unity when Messiah comes. We embrace
and delight in the LORD"S Feasts that
keep us in right fellowship with Him;
and are devoid of the pagan practices
that we learned in the galut. It is a
safeguard for us.
As Joseph was returning his brothers
back to their father his very wise
instuction to them was "not to argue
on the way"; love G-d, love each other".

4. Robert Graves: re. WARNING: YOU WERE SENT A VIRUS
Shalom Yair,
I, too, am receiving email purporting
to be about Israel or from an
organization I am familiar with such
as the one forwarded.
My advice to all is to make sure you
have a good anti-virus program and that
it be updated frequently...daily if
possible.
I suspect these viruses are coming
from anti-Israel forces and will probably
increase as the US/Israeli war on terror
intensifies.
May Adonai give us victory soon and
peace thru the coming Messiah.
Keep up the good work for you are an
encouragement to all who believe in our
heritage and our right to that glorious
land He has promised to us.

5. Bill Rasmussen: Keeping the Law
From: William Rasmussen <brasshalom@yahoo.com>
Subject: Re: "Brit-Am Now"-114: Keeping
the Law
Shalom Achi Yair: Mitzuyan! This piece
on keeping
the Torah is of such importance, yet
so potentially
divisive, it is good that you are bringing
balance and
insight into the issue.
My own belief is that most Israelites
will WANT to
keep the Torah, if for no other reason
than they love
to. While Israelites may not HAVE to
keep the Torah,
they will gladly do so because doing
so brings unity
with the Jewish people and also, it
is well pleasing
to HaShem.
Part of the problem is the traditional
Christian
interpretation of the Torah which historically,
is
negative. Christians by and large see
the Torah as a
form of bondage and legalism. This
is due to the fact
that key passages in the B'rit Chadashah
have been
mistranslated so that the reader will
come to the
conclusion that the law brings death.
Nothing could
be farther from the truth. The fact
is that the Torah
is life and obeying HaShem brings blessings
from
Heaven. My own experience in working
with Evangelical
Christians has shown that those who
may be Israelites
have an inward desire to keep and follow
the Torah.
As an ambassador and shaliyach for
B'rit Am and the
regathering of the tribes, you Yair
have been given
the spirit of wisdom and understanding
as well as a
healthy dose of diplomacy. All are
needed when
working with such disparate groups
who have a common
love of Israel and the Torah. May HaShem
bountifully
bless you in these areas so that you
may continue to
inspire and instruct potential Israelites.
Shalom,
your friend, Bill Rasmussen
