1. Brit-Am Appeal
Make an Offering to Brit-Am:
http://www.britam.org/contribute-Brit-Am.html
Shalom,
It is not so long since our last appeal.
The last time people did send in donations and these did help.
It was not however sufficient for our immediate needs.
At the moment we are preparing a new edition of "The Tribes".
It is taking much longer than we thought it would but it is going ahead.
The end results, God willing, should be worth it.
When the book is ready it may well help our financial situation.
We have two additional works in preparation.
One concerns the Book of Hosea and the Ten Tribes. This deals with both Scripture and History but the emphasis is on the Bible.
The other describes the Migrations of Israelite Tribes to the west. This is primarily a study of history and the Ten Tribes.
Anyway in order to continue work on these projects as well as continuing our ongoing researches and outreach programs we need more funds.
Our outreach program may also receive a boost shortly.
We do get the message out and it does have an effect.
It is also of great importance.
Help us to keep going.
When you help Brit-Am, you help numerous others.
By giving to Brit-Am you help the Tribes of Israel.
This is real help and it does assist Israelites from Judah and Joseph and the Ten Tribes to know who the Ten Tribes are.
This knowledge has the potential to speeden the deliverance of all Israel.
Those who help Brit-Am will be blessed from on High.
God bless all of you,

2. Brit-Am is a Blessing!

Thank you for helping us slow learners get the picture. It takes a while for all this to sink in.
Please check your orders when you have time as I sent a PDF order as a way to help support the work.
You are a blessing my brother.

Brit-Am Reply:
Shalom,
I am also a slow learner in many fields, sometimes incredibly slow. It happens however, that in many cases after finally assimilating the basics I manage to shoot ahead.
Maybe that is why Divine Providence lead me to do this work.
Thanks for your , order.
The files are now being sent to you.
God be with you,
Yair
3. Steven Collins: New Dutch Translation of The "Lost" Ten Tribes of Israel...Found!
From: "Steve Collins" <scollins@sio.midco.net>
(a) Blog on the Book.
Shalom Yair,
Here is a blog I did at my website
http://www.eset.com/
recently announcing that my first book, The "Lost" Ten Tribes of Israel...Found!, will soon be available in the Dutch language with a different title and cover. I was contacted my a Dutch publisher which wanted to publish it in their language, and we came to an agreement to make this possible. [Note: I am sending you a sneak peek at the new cover in a separate email].
I am really getting concerned for the Israeli security situation given what is happening in Egypt, Syria, etc. How are things looking to you from your vantage point?
Steve
(b) Cover of the Book
Shalom Yair,
Here is the cover of the Dutch language version of my first book on the LTT. The website of the publisher putting out the book is www.vlivhthus.nl. They hope to have it available for public release soon after 1-14-12. I've told them about your books as well.

5.Question and Discussion Concerning Individual Tribal Identifications
Mike (from NZ) wrote:
Shalom, I am a circumcised believer in [the Christian Messiah]; I am of mixed British descent and I feel I may well be an Israelite. That's my feeling and belief. I have followed your discussions and listened to your video discourse on the role of Israel especially the lost 10 tribes in the last days. You seem to agree with modern bible scholars like Pastor Eli James, Herbert Armstrong, the Mormons, and other British Israelites etc who say that the Anglo-Saxons are all Israelites. Reputable historians and genealogists disagree on this subject; many say there has been so much intermarriage between the Sons of Jacob and other nations that there is no longer any trace of the lost 10 tribes as a national or religious entity today. I think that's a fair statement. That may be so but unless they were exterminated [which is not what historians and genealogists are saying] then we can ask - which European groups are most likely to be able to trace their ancestry to Jacob? Not as pure bred Israelites but having some genetic material from Jacob in our personal genetic constitution. Based on a low rate of 3% [as a reasonable figure] intermarriage per generation outside of their tribe I estimate that perhaps a quarter to a third of Europeans [but it could be as low as ten percent] can now trace they ancestry through inter-marriage back to the Sons of Jacob, as well as to many other non-Israelite forefathers. History indicates there are no pure bred Israelites left in the world today. Furthermore we have no idea which quarter to a third of modern Europeans are partly Israelites. The distinction between Sons of Jacob and the pagans [goyim] seems to be totally blurred. Surely we need to be more realistic and specific?
Shalom from Michael
Brit-Am Reply.
Shalom,
We trace the Lost Ten Tribes to specific Peoples in the West.
We have identified Israelite Tribes as being concentrated amongst the peoples of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, New Zealand, Australia, the whites of South Africa, Canada, USA, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland.
All together we have 20 polities in which the Ten Tribes may be identified as being present in significant numbers.
Out of these 20, 8 may be considered British or offshoots of the British, or of British and Dutch (SA) together. We identfiy these as Ephraim and count them as one.
That makes 13. Out of the 13 the USA together with the British is part of the Tribes of Joseph. The USA is Manasseh, Britain is Ephraim.
Iceland is together with Norway. Luxembourg with the Netherlands and/or Belgium.
Belgium is a combination of ca. 60 % Dutch and the rest French-Belgae. We may count it together with the Netherlands.
That leaves 10. Issachar is found concentrated in two places, Finland and Switzerland which are therefore counted as one.
That leaves 9.
There were 10 Lost Tribes but Simeon was scattered in several places though here and there in recognizable enclaves.
Asher = Ireland (with many from Dan, Naphtali, Simeon, Judah, and Joseph).
Ephraim:
Northern Ireland - Ephraim today, in the past Manasseh.
Scotland- Ephraim today, in the past Manasseh.
England - Ephraim.
Wales - Dan, Simeon, Ephraim
New Zealand - Ephraim
Australia - Ephraim.
The whites of South Africa - Ephraim, Zebulon, and others.
Canada - Ephraim.
Manasseh: USA.
Issachar:
Switzerland
Finland
Reuben:
France
Benjamin
Belgium - Mostly in Judah but also amongst French-Speaking Belgae who in addition include elements from Reuben.
Zebulon:
Netherlands
Flemish in Belgium (Tribal identification not certain).
Dan:
Denmark, elements in Wales and Ireland.
Naphtali:
Norway.
Iceland
Gad:
Sweden.
In our book "The Tribes" we speak of this at length.
http://britam.org/the-Tribes.html
A new edition of this work is in progress.
It is obvious that everyone is mixed to some degree.
Even so, Tribal ancestry is traced through the male line.
Despite inter-mixing some degree of tribal distinctiveness remains.
We discussed this recently:
See:
Brit-Am Now no. 1785.
#3. Monte G. Salyer: Remarks on DNA and Israelite Tribal identifications.
http://britam.org/now2/1785Now.html#3
In the end times the Israelite Tribes will return and be identified as distinct entities.
The Messiah will identify which Tribe each Israelite belongs to.
We are doubtful concerning many aspects of DNA findings.
Nevertheless we may learn much from them.
DNA claims that despite much intermixing people from specific regions often have their own definite DNA markers.
In other words a common ancestry exists that may in the aggregate still be traced.
Whether the DNA findings are correct or not the principle does hold from Biblical and Historical studies.
There are national characteristics and in many cases these reflect those of the particular Israelite Tribe that became dominant in the nation.
Concerning the determination of Israelite Ancestry in general see our article:
Ephraimite Criteria
http://www.britam.org/criteria.html
We agree with you that the matter is not really as simple as we would like it to be.
Let us take the USA as an example.
Germans and other Continental Europeans who came to the USA were mostly descended from Israelites whereas they who stayed behind, on the whole were not.
Most Israelite Tribes are to be found amongst the US population. Numerically Ephraim may be predominant.
Nevertheless from a Biblical point of view the USA pertains to Manasseh.
There may be a majority of non-Israelites today in the US population. Nevertheless Israelites are there and they were determinant elements in forming the nation and making it what it is. Through the USA promised blessings to Ephraim and Manasseh were fulfilled and part of the destined taskwork of the Ten Tribes was carried out.
No individual may be absolutely sure that they descend from the Ten Tribes though in most cases a fair enough estimation may be made.
Uncertainty exists and Divine Providence so wanted it to.
The individual needs to submerge themself in the collective Israelite Tribal whole and find their identity in that way.
