[In private correspondence on the web I am never certain if the person
concerned would wish to see his/her name
published or not. In principle if you do not so wish it you should say so.]
Answer:
Shalom,
We have no exact figure.
We exist, provide a service and fulfill a task. People come to us
since they need us in the same way that we need them.
Most of our supporters are non -Jewish and many of these are Christians
of different outlooks.
By Jews you obviously mean those who are Jewish according to Jewish Law.
We have quite a few of probable Jewish descent who consider themselves Jewish
and whose religious affiliation is not determined.
Jews according to the Law make up a small percentage numerically compared
to the whole
but are very significant as far as support is concerned.
Also with the publication of our work in Hebrew "Achim Acharim" (The Other
Brothers)
and our increased emphasis on the Israeli public the percentages will
probably change.
Our message is directed to both Judah and Joseph.
It is supported by publication-sales and contributions from our supporters.
There are no other sources.
This is the way the Almighty wants it (at least at this stage) and we work
according
to the given situation.
We are not pushing a religious agenda but rather a Bible-believing
consensus concerning
Israelite identity supported by researches in both religious and secular
fields.
Brit-Am began with the book, "The Tribes". Before "The Tribes" was
published I had prepared three
manuscripts on the subject and "The Tribes" was comprised of parts of two
of these.
Some of the initial material is of value and still awaits publication.
Initially I had in fact began to write the first manuscript in Hebrew but
then realized that it may not be immediately accepted
and I would be better off trying for as wide an audience as possible from
the very beginning.

If you were to order (as you suggest) all 4 books (including a sample issue
of the magazine)
as well as 5 issues of the magazine, your order would entail:
The 4 books plus one issue plus 5 issues (i.e. 6 issues).
The books would be sent to you along with 2 back issues
and a membership certificate. The remaining 4 issues would be sent to you
as they are published.
I hope this helps.
God bless you

Answer:
First of all most people, including most Jews, have never heard of us
and would need time to digest our findings.
Apart from that, our findings are consistent with Orthodox sources.
You should also know that in the Jewish world there exist two approaches on
this issue:
1. Brit-Am which concentrates on western people and emphasizes Biblical and
Rabbinical sources along with
historical and related studies and aspects of contemporary reality.
2. "Amishav" headed by Rabbi Avichail who looks mainly to the east, accepts
to a degree Biblical and Rabbinical sources,
but emphasizes keeping Jewish customs, willingness to convert, etc.
The "Amishav" organization is older and has had more success so far as
publicizing its findings, and receiving the support of philanthropic and
mainstream bodies including liberal and secular Jewish groups such as "Kulanu".
The case of Chabad is symptomatic of other groups. The Rabbi himself was
sympathetic towards the USA and along with other
great Rabbis used terminology for it normally reserved for Lost Israelites.
The Rabbi was also critical of Rabbi Avichail.
Later the rabbi had a stroke and all his correspondence was conducted by
secretaries acting in his name. In this period
letters apparently sympathetic to Rabbi Avichail may have been sent out.
Finally the Rabbi passed away and the situation has changed again.
From our experience maybe 40 to 50% of Chabad people would be sympathetic
to Brit-Am upon receiving our literature
or hearing our explanations.
This is quite high.
Brit-Am in principle and based on experience takes the attitude that we can
present our case to say a thousand people
(Jews or Gentiles) and most may agree that we may have something, A good
many may be mildly interested.
Later perhaps one of them will come a firm supporter but he will lead and
enable us to contact several others like himself.
We do what we can and the Almighty does the rest.
