1. Brit-Am, Ephraimites, the Temple, the State of Israel, and the Law of Moses
Nathan Barratt wrote:
Hello Yair,
I was wanting to ask about the law of Moses. I mean - we can't do the sacrifices or worship at the tabernacle/temple - so does the rest of the law apply? If so, how is it applicable today?
And what about the Talmud? As I understand it was written in Babylon thousands of years after the law of Moses. Is this really scripture?
Thanks very much,
Nathan.

Brit-Am Reply:
In principle questions of this nature are handled in our feature,

Brit-Am, Movement of the Lost Ten Tribes, is concerned primarily with spreading the message of its Three Rs that revolve around identifying who the Lost Ten Tribes are.
All other considerations are secondary.
We try to avoid involved discussion on religious matters.
On the whole our outlook is that the Temple should be rebuilt. There are sources indicating that the Return of the Ten Tribes is connected with rebuilding the Temple.
Jews should keep the Law as well as they can according to the teachings of their Sages who follow the traditions of Moses.
Ephraimites in the future may well have similar obligations but at present they do not. Even so, they should begin the process of returning, every one according to their ability and understanding.
Brit-Am however is not to be involved in decisions concerning Ephraimite Practice since that is not what we are about.
The Talmud is a Jewish collection of books for Jews. It transmits traditions and legends but primarily is involved with discussing the practical application of Biblical Laws according to Biblical Verses. It was written down in its present form after ca. 500 CE but is based on material going back to Biblical Times.
A lot of lies and slanders are spoken about the Talmud by wicked and ignorant people.
Replies to some of these slanders are to be found on the site:

3. Proverbs 15 (New King James Version)
1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
Keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
5 A fool despises his father?s instruction,
But he who receives correction is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge,
But the heart of the fool does not do so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,
But He loves him who follows righteousness.
10 Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way,
And he who hates correction will die.
11 Hell[a] and Destruction[b]are before the LORD;
So how much more the hearts of the sons of men.
12 A scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
Nor will he go to the wise.
13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,
But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil,
But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the LORD,
Than great treasure with trouble.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs[c] where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred.
18 A wrathful man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger allays contention.
19 The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright is a highway.
20 A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment,
But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22 Without counsel, plans go awry,
But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
24 The way of life winds upward for the wise,
That he may turn away from hell[d] below.
25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud,
But He will establish the boundary of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD,
But the words of the pure are pleasant.
27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.
28 The heart of the righteous studies how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.
29 The LORD is far from the wicked,
But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
And a good report makes the bones healthy.[e]
31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life
Will abide among the wise.
32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul,
But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom,
And before honor is humility.

Brit-Am is the "still small voice" that contains the truth.
[1-Kings 19:12] AND AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE A FIRE; BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE FIRE: AND AFTER THE FIRE A STILL SMALL VOICE.
