1. Jeremy Burningham: Stonehenge, a Neolithic impossibility
I have a problem with the idea that Stonehenge was built
by
Neolithic man. For one how great could the population of Britain be
during
neolithic times for men to be able to go off and carve out huge stones
drag
them miles erect them and still feed themselves and their family. To
achieve these kinds of logistics neolithic man must have been far more
intelligent then archaeologist give them credit for. However evidence
shows
that Neolithic man lived in caves! The problem that arise is the fact
that
we have very intelligent megalithic builders that have the ability to
understand the seasons and the stars in the heavens yet they lived in
caves
and their tools of existence are bones and stones. Archaeologist tell
us
that Neolithic man became extinct because they could not harness the
environments around them do too lack of intelligence. And we must all
admit
that Neolithic man is gone today and yes, he failed to grow and adapt
and
there is factual proof that mother nature defeated Neolithic man. Yet,
at
the same time scientists and archaeologist ask us to believe that these
limited creatures who dwelt in caves and are now extinct had the
ability to
build something like Stonehenge? No way, it is an absolute
impossibility
that Neolithic man built Stonehenge. And if Neolithic man did have the
ability to build Stonehenge our hairy large fore-headed man would be
here
today because obviously he could tackle complicated situations and
dilemmas
that would threaten his survival. But the reality and the evidence
shows
that Neolithic man could not even come up with the concept of
Stonehenge.
If modern man believes that Neolithic man built these huge megalithic
structures we are about as smart as cave dwellers.
2. Note From Denmark
From: Jan Stensman
Subject: Message to Yair !
Hiller d
- Danmark - 10. dec. 2004
Dear Yair Davidiy !
May our Great God bless, and allways take care of you and your staff in
working for the truth.
When I was a seventy year schoolchild in 1945. Our histori-teacher told
us,
that in old time, they called our country Dans-mark !
In other countries they call us Dinamarca, or Dianamarca e.t.c. - and
you
know the name of the daugther of Jacob, was Dina, a coincident ? I
realy
dont think so !
In english they call our people Danish ore Dan-ish, or the Dane. - they
allsou call our country the Royal Kingdom of Danmark, often shorted to
DK,
who means the Danish Kingdom.
The Scandinavian countries all have the same symbol, in there banner,
the
cross, because we believe in christianity. The mark of the Scandinavian
countries called the North, are - five flying swane.
I hope you can use it in your work, my jewish brother in the Great God,
may
He allways protect you in your work, and every days, you and those you
love. -

3. Tithing- A Key to Success
[Malachi 3:10] BRING YE ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE, THAT THERE
MAY
BE MEAT IN MINE HOUSE, AND PROVE ME NOW HEREWITH, SAITH THE LORD OF
HOSTS,
IF I WILL NOT OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, AND POUR YOU OUT A
BLESSING,
THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT.
One should give tithes. Through tithing it is promised
a blessing
will
be given.
[Genesis 28:20] AND JACOB VOWED A VOW, SAYING, IF GOD WILL BE WITH ME,
AND
WILL KEEP ME IN THIS WAY THAT I GO, AND WILL GIVE ME BREAD TO EAT, AND
RAIMENT TO PUT ON,
[Genesis 28:21] SO THAT I COME AGAIN TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE IN PEACE;
THEN
SHALL THE LORD BE MY GOD:
[Genesis 28:22] AND THIS STONE, WHICH I HAVE SET FOR A PILLAR, SHALL BE
GOD'S HOUSE: AND OF ALL THAT THOU SHALT GIVE ME I WILL SURELY GIVE
THE
TENTH UNTO THEE.
People who have given offerings or their tithe or a portion of their
tithe
to Brit-Am
have after a short period often experienced a marked increase in their
income.
4. Why is Brit-Am Not Doing More?
Question (a):
> Yair,
>
> There are currently large numbers of Ephraimites who
have already
>come to a firm awareness of who they are as being from the lost tribes
>of Israel. Further, many of these Ephraimites maintain a Torah
>observance that follows much of the Jewish halacha and in all
practical
>purposes is almost identical to the observance we maintain as
observant
>Jews.
> My question is, what is being done by Brit-am in regards
to the
>religious courts here in Israel in order to enable the return of the
>tribes? One would think that the Bet-Din would be a central focus
of
>Brit-am in the efforts not only to "awaken" Ephraim, but to also
enable
>his return. With the Brit-am's backing of Rav Feld, as well as
other
>known Rabbi's in Israel, what is Brit-am doing to facilitate this
effort
>here in Israel?
> When the Ethiopian Aliyah came into Israel they were
required to
>undergo a form of "Re-affirmation" of the covenant of Torah. This
was
>not really considered a "Conversion" but a re-affirmation of their
Torah
>observance. Why cannot this be done in regards to Ephraimites who
>maintain the same, if not higher, form of Torah observance than many
>that have already made Aliyah?
> Your thoughts on this?
>
>
Shabbat Shalom,

Israel ben David
Answer: First of all we at Brit-Am are doing all that we can in every
direction
according to our means and our means are limited. If we had more means
we
could and would do
more than we are doing at present. All these avid "large numbers of
Ephraimites
who have already come to a firm awareness of who they areas being from
the
lost tribes
of Israel" that you speak of do not
seem on the whole to be supporting Brit-Am.
Maybe they have reasons of their own for not doing so?
Where are they all?
Secondly in the case of the Ethiopians a long period of publicizing
their
case and a great deal of
effort by very many people went into enabling them to reach the status
they
now hold.
And the case was different.
Before anything can be done the Brit-Am Message has to reach out to a
much
great degree to
"Joseph" and to "Judah".
Those who are GENUINELY concerned about this matter will help Brit-Am
do that.
Thirdly, Brit-Am does not see its purpose as having to persuade the
Beit-Din
(Jewish Religious Legal Court) of anything. The truth is on our side as
far
as we can tell.
This is what the Almighty wants according to the Bible.
Our task is to present the truth to both Judah and Joseph and let
events
take their course.
Not enough people on either side have yet awakened to the importance
and
urgency of the
Brit-Am message. We must change this. Brit-Am works for Research,
Revelation, Reconciliation
and everything connected to it.
I repeat: Anyone who really believes in this and feels a need for it
WILL SUPPORT BRIT-AM HOWEVER THEY CAN!
(b) Question: You make a very valid point...
However IF you were being financially supported by
these large numbers of Ephraimites (which ARE out
there) what more could be done in regards to their
return?
Does Brit-am believe that Joseph should begin to
return or do you think that it is still pre-mature at
this point? Shalom, Israel
Answer: First of all EVERY day that we continue to function more people
are
made
aware of the Brit-Am message and those who are already aware of it
receive
a deeper
appreciation of this truth. We need funds in order to continue to
function.
In addition, If we had more means we could advertise in Jewish
publications
in both the English
and Hebrew languages. We could also spread our message more extensively
to
Joseph by a variety of effective tools. Within hours of receiving
financial
input we can put it to effective use.
At present Yair Davidiy works full-time on research, publications,
e-mail
lists, and meetings.
Rabbi Feld has his own organization for helping those in need but he
also
voluntarily does a great deal
for Brit-Am and represents us before Rabbis, Jewish audiences,
Christian
tourists, and potential donors.
Betty Matteson Rhodes voluntary manages the web sites including
graphics,
search engine placements,
and the very important new Brit-Am Genealogical section. A son of Yair
Davidiy, from the confines of
a prison cell, helps out how he can with the Hebrew presentations.
Others
help out from time to time
as they can. We all do what can and that is that. Apart from Yair
Davidiy
it is nearly all voluntary.
Considering the little we do have the Almighty helps
us with what we have and we do relatively well.
The message goes out and its quality (in content and presentation) is
reasonable.
With greater means we could do much better.
Regarding the "return" we do not advise anyone to consider it at this
stage
though there are exceptions who make their own decision and these too
WOULD DO MUCH BETTER if more publicity were given to the Brit-Am case
and if Brit-Am had the means to assist more than it can.
5. Staffs?
From: rosalynn
Subject: Staffs
neither trees nor sticks, but staffs, with which also Moyshe walked
HaShem is interested in what happens on the 'floor',
(not with what people seem to pretend it does)
6. Robert Graves: Psalm 26
Yair,
Thank you so much for the exposition, even though brief, of Psalm 26 I
received on 11/22.
The insights and spiritual meaning of the Words of Adonai as given to
us by
our Jewish brothers reveal Adonai and our responsibility in service to
Him
in a deeper sense than we customarily get from Christian scholars who
are
not generally schooled in the Oracles of God.
My spirit was uplifted by your message. I have printed it out and will
keep it in my Bible as a bookmark at Psalm 26.
Again, thank you and may Adonai continue to bless you as you do the
work He
has called you to do. I can assure you that in my contacts with my
Christian brothers and sisters Adonai is working to bring us all
together
as in the days old.

7. White Caucasians Israelites?
Bob wrote:
>Are there any other orthodox rabbis or any other Jews who believe
>Israelites were white caucasian fair skined red haired ?
>How many Jews believe this ? Do any rabbis believe it ?
Answer
I do not understand the question. In principle they all believe that
at least some Israelites were of such a description in the same way as
some
Jews are
today.
>This does not mean that ALL white caucasian were Israelites or
that Israelites were ONLY white caucasians.
Quote from Dr. Harry Ostrer
<<Blonde genes occur in Middle Eastern groups as well. There is no
evidence
that white skin and blue eyes originated in northern Europe.
That is a Nordic myth. Semitic people had the whole range>>
Dr. Harry Ostrer, "A Genetic Profile of Contemporary Jewish
populations"
Nature Review-Genetics, November 2001
quoted in "DNA & Tradition" by Rabbi Yaakiv Kleiman, Israel, 2004, p.33
The phenomenon of '"White Caucasian" appearance is a COMBINATION
of inherited and environmental influences.
This is what we have been saying from the very beginning but nobody
seems
to have listened.
8. Remember the Prayer Request
Yair,
Just wanted to thank you for posting Mr. Mosley's prayer request. My
own
brother just got back from the war in Iraq; he's in the Air Force.

9. Family Connection?
Hey Yair,
Shalom to you and your family! I read with great interest the article
on
the ancient Pazyryk peoples. My family name is Parzick, often spelled
Parzyk or parzych. My grandfather lived in a town called Kadzidlo,
Poland,
in Lomza gubernia, and immigrated to USA in early 1900's. Lomza, as you
know, was in the Pale of Settlement.
[["Pale of Settlement": Limited area of Russian Empire in which Jews
were
permitted to settle and outside of which they were forbidden. editor]]
Also there is a small town about 30(?) miles away from Kadzidlo named
Parciaki.
Do you think there is a connection?
thanks so much!
