1. Checks from Australia, Canada,
and Other Such Places.
If the message below is pertinent to you Please read it and take it as a
humble request.
We need your financial support through contributions and purchases. This is
what keeps us going. We are grateful for whatever you send us and hope that you
will send us more in the future.
We prefer payments and donations from places outside of the USA, and UK be made
by PayPal but for some this option is not practicable so checks may be sent.
Checks from Australia, Canada, and Other Such Places.
All checks from Australia, Canada, etc, sent to us should follow one of the two
options:
(1. The check may be made out in US dollars to a US bank or to a bank with an
office in the USA written on the face of the check .
OR
(2. The check may be an ordinary check from your local bank made out in
Australian, (or Canadian etc, as the case may be) dollars in the name of
Yehonatan Davidy.
This second option may be the easiest and most preferable.
Yehonatan is the son of Yair and will deposit the check in his name and then
give the money to Brit-Am.
All this applies to Australia, New Zealand, all European countries, etc, APART
FROM
THE USA AND UK.
Checks from the USA and UK may be made out in the name of Yair Davidiy.
2. Query About the Lemba.
Re: Brit-Am Now no. 1863: Ten Tribes Studies.

Yair,
Quoting your reply to Marianne about the Lemba ( Brit-Am 1863 ) :
#I do not know much about the Lemba.
The claimed DNA linkage however has been greatly exaggerated and in itself does
not prove anything.
I once saw a National Geographic article about them.
Some of them had strong Semitic Middle Eastern type features. " [END Of Yair
QUOTE ]
You state that "Some of them had strong Semitic Middle Eastern type features. "
Does this mean that some of them were Arabs? Arabs are certainly "semitic" !
Thanks.

Brit-Am Reply:
It could be that they were Arabs.
They themselves now say they came from Yemen and then Ethiopia.
This is probably a modern rationalization of their situation but it is feasible.
In Ancient Times there were several Judaizing movements at different times in
Yemen and some of them converted to Judaism.
We have written of this in our book "Ephraim. The Gentile Children of Israel."
The Lemba could be an offshoot from such an event. Or they could be derived from
Samaritans. Or there may be some other explanation. Black Africans with
"Semitic" features are to be found in some parts of East Africa.
3. Question on the USA, Manasseh, and
the American Melting Pot.
Rob Marr wrote:
Yair
You make the claim that Menasseh is of the USA but history records numerous
people groups making up a melting pot society.
In fact, USA is simply a new land. And a variety of people groups (French,
Brits, Italians, Scandan., Africans, Mexicans) all call it their home.
It is impossible to identify Menasseh with this type of description.
History also records a group of people called the Massgetae who lived in
Scythia. It would seem they fit the best towards being
Menasseh. And even so, the Bible records Menasseh was always divided, some
with Ephraim (who were probably sailors) and the others with Gad/Reuben,
even close to Dan.
It would be fitting to find Menasseh with these other tribes as well.

Rob Shalom,
Queries and Suggestions such as your own should preferably always contain
references to Biblical Verses or historical sources referred to.
We do not know what the details in your claims are based upon.
We have answered your question in general in several of our works including
"The Tribes".
The USA on the whole does have a national character just as it has its own
history and its own name. These fit Manasseh.
Also groups in the British Isles and to some degree in Continental Europe whose
descendants comprised a good proportion of the early settlers of the USA came
from areas we may identify as Manasseh.
The Bible says that a decisive segment of the US population descends from the
Ten Tribes and it identifies these as comprising many from Manasseh.
It also indicates that the Manasseh element will decide much of the national
character.
We show how enclaves and portions of the various Tribes were often mixed up
with the others.
Nevertheless overall in the different regions one Tribe or other became
dominant.
That is what we need to know.
God bless you,
Yair
