1. Brit-Am on Radio
Go to:
http://www.israelnationalradio.com and scroll down till you see the box of
Tamar Yonah.
What ever happened to the 'lost tribes of Israel'?
Author and researcher of the lost tribes, Yair Davidiy and Rabbi Avraham
Feld tell us where the lost tribes migrated to, and who they may be today!

2. Some Reactions to Brit-Am on the radio:
a.
>Greeting Tamar, I enjoyed the program with Yair and Rabbi Feld. Thank you
>for having such an open mind regarding the tribes. It is becoming
>increasingly clear that there is more acceptance of the tribes return
>among the Jewish people than among the Americans that I have spoken to
>about the subject. That in itself is a phenomenon. I meet resistance and
>occasional hostility when I speak of the Lost Tribes and their eventual
>identification and return home. I consider myself a member of the tribe of
>Naphtali. I felt an attraction to Naphtali after returning from my first
>trip to Israel in 1998, and that was before I had heard anything about the
>tribes or their return. Over the intervening years the certainty of what
>Yair is teaching has become the truth for me. No reason, no explanation,
>it just is. And that is the awakening that Yair speaks about. It is
>especially thrilling to hear Yair and Rabbi Feld comparing this awakening
>to the great home coming of the Jewish people, creating a state and a home
>of their own at last. So thanks again for your great program, I hope you
>invite Yair and Rabbi Feld back on another program soon.
>Sally

>Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for
>I am Elohim, and there is none else.

>Dear Tamar, Shalom for Australia. I listened with great interest to Yair
>and Avraham Feld. It was a very interesting interview especially since I
>believe everything that was spoken. I have one complaint though so please
>don't be offended.
>Why is is that it was going so positively and then right at the end got
>very negative. Quite frankly as a lover of Israel and the Jewish people,
>one who defends her cause at great personal cost I get tired of those
>Jewish people who still can't come to terms with the fact that there are
>those of us who wish her well. We don't want to destroy, harm, belittle,
>REPLACE or anything of that nature. Yes you are an offended people and
>you have every right to that HOWEVER PLEASE<PLEASE don't be so self
>absorbed as to not recognise you are LOVED by millions around the world
>who want to stand with you.
>
>I have spoken to you before Tamar and you know I am happy being a NON
>JEWISH ISRAELITE>
>Also at Sinai there was besides all those ones a mixed multitude that
>would have been assigned to a particular tribe. So we have all those
>people including Yuhuda there with moshe. My ancestors were there I don't
>NEED TO REPLACE ANYONE AS I AM PART OF THE SAME COMPANY> So relax we
>don't want to replace anyone we are very content being NON JEWISH
>ISRAELITES and one day Messiah will tell us which tribe we belong to in
>the meantime start to enjoy the fact that once we were lost and now we are
>found. Lets celebrate.>
>
>I listen to you and Tovia all the time. Hugs and kisses Gloria
c. The show on the tribes was fantastic. The website has commentary of the
nach [Biblical Prophets]. In walid shoebat's book he focuses on bible
prophecies of the arabs coming against israel. Perhaps if he reads this
stuff, he can take his book to a new level. So I'll email him a link to the
website. Actually, there are a number of people i'll email a link to that
site to. I recorded the interview too.
>>great stuff David
3. Steve Mathe: Unite Our Hearts
A very impressive, inspiring, and potentially important message may be seen at

4. Feet and Origin: Is there a Tribal Foot?
Roman toes, Celtic Toes, Iron Age British Toes, and Saxon Toes or rather feet in general.
An interesting site discusses the differences:

5. What is the Replacement Theory?
The following Query Was Recently Directed to a Certain Group.
It sums up what Replacement Theology is.:
From: CT
Subject: Church Replacement Theory
On the idea that it is OK to destroy (or not support) Israel, because the
church God loves and will preserve is the New Testament one and not in
addition to the Jewish nation.
6. The Book of Jashar
The Book of Jashar (Hebrew: Sefer HaYashar) is referred to in the Bible.
The name means "Book of the Upright".
Some commentators say it is another name for the Book of Genesis.
Conceivably another work could be intended.
A medieval book by the same name has recently become popular in English translation.
This book is a collection of legends and midrashim and embellishments.
It is entertaining as it was intended to be and contain some genuine
material that is worth becoming acquainted with
and other things that seem doubtful. It was never fully accepted by the
general trend of Jewish thought but neither
as far as I know was it ever expressly rejected. I do not know to what
extent it was ever expected to be taken seriously.
We have quoted from it in the past since it does contain some useful
material though I have only read parts of it.
How is this pertinent to Brit-Am?
Recently some dysfunctional people have taken this Midrash-based book and
said it is the work mentioned
in the Bible and they have been quoting a legend it contains out of context.
The legend says that before the Children of Israel came out of Egypt a
group of Ephraimites attempted to go ahead on their
own about 30 years before the appointed time and they were killed by the Philistines.
This may be true or it may not. There are hints of Israelites attempting to
set themselves in the Land of Canaan
while most of their brothers were still in Egypt. We discussed this in our
book "Lost Israelite Identity".
The people in question based on the above legend in the 'Book of Jashar"
have been claiming that now there is a plot to get Ephraimites to come to
Israel in order for the Palestinians (Philistines) to finish them off and
thus obviate a potential Missionary menace.
Let us be quite honest and clear:
No-one (apart from Brit-Am and maybe a few others) at the moment wants
Ephraimites to come to Israel.
Even Brit-Am wants to concentrate firstly on getting Judah better
acquainted with the whole concept of
Ephraim.
If anything it has been people from "Ephraim" who up to now have been
strongly expressing their wish to come here.
At all events Brit-Am is on your side and at your service.
Those of you from "Ephraim" who are aware of your origins should support Brit-Am.
7. Anti-Semites, Eccentrics, and all the rest.
Brit-Am beliefs are true ones. They are also for the ultimate good of Judah
as well as of Joseph.
Since they involve the true benefit of Judah anti-semites will attack them.
Because we speak the truth lovers of lies will attack us.
This part of what is involved.
Brit-Am beliefs are suggestive of a revolutionary
all-encompassing new solution to many of the quandaries of the world today.
Our beliefs are not conventional and so people who are open to unusual
ideas will
also be open to them. Eccentrics will be attracted to us and we ourselves
may not always be as careful in our associations and opinions as we should be.
We will make mistakes as we have done on occasion in the past.
Any new idea that is true yet drastically different from the commonly held
conceptions will be subject to the same influences and face the same dangers.
YOU ARE ALL ASKED TO BEAR WITH US, HELP US, AND SUPPORT US FOR THE SAKE OF
THE TRUTH THAT BRIT-AM HOLDS TO.
