1. Books Received:
(a) from Steve and Charlene Mathe
The Barbarian Invasions of the Roman Empire (8 volumes) by Thomas Hodgkin 1880, 2000.
Hodgkin was an important historian whose writing style was of an advanced literary quality.
These histories contain information of interest and importance.
(b) from Suri Osdoba in Memory of Avi Osduba.
Received tens of valuable works dealing with various fields of study: Biblical Commentary, Jewish History,
Rabbinical Studies, General History, Conspiracy, etc.
Avi Osduba was a personal friend of Yair Davidiy. He was also a supporter of Brit-Am and a research assistant of Brit-Am supplying us with information of importance. Avi was a scholar. Avi passed away about 5 years ago. He left a large library behind him. His sister, Suri Osduba, said that Avi would have wanted us to use his books so we were allowed to go through his library and choose those works we thought might be of use.

3. Brit-Am Answers to Richard McKay Concerning Rebuilding the Temple.
Richard McKay wrote:
Hello Yair,
Recently I have been viewing some video footage online concerning the rebuilding the Third Temple.It seems as if there are a number of different groups organizing to rebuild the Temple and to restore the Levitical Priesthood. I was wondering which one of these groups or organizations are commissioned to actually carry out this process and how does it fit in within the Prophetic framework. Are these groups squabbling about who has the right and authority to rebuild the Temple or do they work together? Also I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this subject.
God Bless You
Rick
Brit-Am Replies:
(a) Rebuilding the Temple, the Ten Tribes, and Messiah son of Joseph: Some Sources
Some sources indicate that the Ten Tribes headed by the Messiah son of Joseph will be of assistance in rebuilding the Temple.
See the sources below:
[Zechariah 1:16] THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD; I AM RETURNED TO JERUSALEM WITH MERCIES: MY HOUSE SHALL BE BUILT IN IT, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, AND A LINE SHALL BE STRETCHED FORTH UPON JERUSALEM.
Ezekiel 41
http://britam.org/Ezekiel41to45.html#41
Ezekiel in this and the next chapter continues his description of the Third Temple. We have little to say at the moment on these matters only that we hope that the Temple will be rebuilt shortly. We have also pointed out from times to time the possibility that the return of the Ten Tribes and especially of Joseph is connected with the rebuilding of the Third Temple. This is also the opinion of the Midrash and of various commentators as we have pointed out from time to time. A prerequisite for the return of the Lost Ten Tribes is their correct identification.
Messiah son of Joseph
http://britam.org/proof.html
God says that HE will send HIS messenger before HIM to prepare the way and rebuild the Temple (Malachi 3:1). Rav Saadia Gaon (b. ca. 890 CE) and Iben Ezra (1080-1164 CE) said that the MESSENGERis the Messiah son of Joseph. The Messiah son of Joseph, according to the Malbim (1809-1879) and others will be the future head of the Lost Ten Tribes when they return to re-unite with Judah.
http://britam.org/now/now150.html
At least one Midrash (Pesikta Zutratha Lekach Tov, Balak,
Numbers 24;17) says that the Messiah Son of Joseph will rebuild the
Temple.
Shlomo Scheinman:
http://britam.org/now/now500.html
Rabbeinu Bachiya on leviticus/vayikra chapter 11 felt that Edom [i.e. Christianity in general?] would
in the future help us rebuild the third Temple and that the forces in the past that were harmful to us would return together with other forces to help and
support Israel...
(b) Different Temple-Orientated Groups
Of those groups we are familiar with it may be said that each one performs a valuable service and is staffed by genuinely motivated people.
I do not know if the different groups squabble with each other or not but there is no reason for them to do so since each fulfills a specific need.
None of the groups has any official or semi-official Mandate in any capacity.
If however the Temple is rebuilt tomorrow through human agency it stands to reason that they who have studied the subject and made preparations
will be able to give assistance and their help will probably be accepted. Many of the necessary utensil and garments have already been prepared.
(c) Should the Temple be rebuilt Now?
The Temple pertains to the Israelite Nation in accordance to Torah principles.
The question is can the Jews build it at present and should they do so?
In my personal opinion the Temple should be rebuilt as soon as possible.
I would not however go against Rabbinical opinion if most leading rabbinical authorities were against it.
Nevertheless as much public interest that is aroused in the matter, the better.
At the least, the Temple Mount should be fenced off, the Mosques and abominations removed, and if Jews cannot go up there then no-body else should be allowed to do so.
These opinions are in accordance with Torah Law as explained by the Sages.
