(a) Total Number of Subscribers to
Brit-Am e-mail List.
About 1500 (less than had been previously supposed) receive a copy ofd
each Brit-Am message sent out by e-mail.
(b) Visits to our web-site and other
characteristics.
Previously we quoted statistics from the Numerator supplied by our Server.
This would show about 1500 visits per day.
For the month of May 2012 it showed a total of 43,014 visits and 525107 hits.
Recent clarification has shown that these figures are MISLEADING, in part.
They included those who returned several times per day who were numbered as
different visitors and it also included visits from Crawlers of Search Engines
and other monitors.
When we spoke to our Server Technical representatives we were advised in effect
to ignore the total figures but concentrate on relative tendencies.
The tendencies indicate a plunge of ca. 20% possibly as a result of the Google
Gaggle.
We were also advised to accept figures supplied by Google Webmaster Tools and
Google Analytic.
Google Analytic shows that in the period May 18-June 17 2012, our site received
1,355 different visitors.
[We think this is too low, but who knows?]
56% of our visitors are new ones.
43 % are returning visitors.
Average pages per visit 1.54.
56% of our visitors are from the USA, 9% from Israel, 7% from the UK, 4% from
Canada, 3% from Australia, 2% from the Netherlands.
After that came Czech Republic, Norway, South Africa, Switzerland.
Within the USA we had 154 visits from California, 139 from Texas,
Illinios 76
Pennsylvania 76
Florida 64
New York 57
North Carolina 54
Ohio 54
Georgia 52
Kentucky 51
Washington 42
Anyone see a pattern here?
(c) Brit-Am YouTube Viewing.
YouTube is also now owned in effect by Google.
We entered this YouTube business somewhat haphazardly and without putting much
hopes in it.
Nevertheless if the statistics are correct it may show promise.

Analysis:
The Number of YouTube Viewers is higher than visitors to the Web Site.
[I think the number given by Google for visitors to the web site is too low.]
Number of YouTube Viewers also shows a high proportion from the UK which is in
second place. This is heartening since in the past we thought it was very low.
70% of the viewers from the USA are over 45 years old.
83% of the viewers from the Israel are over 45 years old.
In the UK they are somewhat younger but still overwhelmingly more than 35 years
old.
In the USA, Israel, and New Zealand the majority are males.
In the UK it is ca. half male, half female.
In Belgium all 19 viewers were female and all 13 to 17 years old [Maybe it was
the same young girl who came back 19 times?
We have ca. 64 clips, so she looked at 19 of them. I hope it did not affect her
homework!]
20% viewed the clips through embedded clips, possibly all our own britam.org
URLs.

Thanks. Someone else said the same. In future I shall turn it down a

Observations like you just made alert as to when improvement is needed.
Without this we probably would never have known.

5. Jackie Bourg: Descendants of Jews
from Majorca Amongst French Canadians.
Shalom Yair Davidiy,
You have listed that France contained the Tribe of Reuben.
I have a valid question for you:
1) "why do you keep refusing to believe that we, the French
Canadians (originally from Southern France) were originally from Spain?
2) Where do you suspect the Jews mentioned in Obadiah disappeared to?
3) Why do you keep ignoring my ancestors who originally came from Spain
and into France during the Inquisition? After all, our surnames are
all translated into Jewish and moreover, we have the J2 Haplo type as
researched with
www.FamilyTree.com/dna
~ I have my maternal ancestral research....and we are
from Majorca Spain....
Why do you suppose we ended up in Southern France during the Inquisition.
With all due respect ..., I would ask you to remove your dark glasses and
smell the smoking gun, that YES, we are lost Jews from Spain. We are Levites,
whether you like it or not. Pls forgive me for sounding this way, but I am very
fed up that NOBODY wants to look into our Jewish heritage. You once told me
that "it was so long ago and that we had mixed with Gentiles that we surely
lost our heritage".
Judaism is very much alive in me...and I arduously fight the good fight of Faith
that we are indeed GOD's Chosen people.
To my knowledge, your book on the Lost Tribes is not complete without us, the
French Jews of "Spain".

7. Esther: (a) Query about the Lost
Tribes and Aliyah. Brit-Am Answer.
"Shalom Yair!
I was wondering is any of the ALIYAH officials for Israel are considering The
European Lost Tribes? I am sure there is many of us who would like to "come
home" if they opened the doors for us. Many do not follow Rabbinical Law
(Talmud) but Pure Torah. Most Europeans are under a Patriarch society, so they
would consider the Father's lineage as well as the mother's. But "Papa Bear" is
to be the spiritual Leader of the home. Why is Israel only considering Maternal
rights?"
Brit-Am Reply:
Esther Shalom,
We get questions like this all the time.
It should be clear what Brit-Am does and does not do. We show where the Ten
Tribes went in general thousands or sometimes hundreds of years ago.
We can say with a reasonable degree of confidence where most of the Tribes are.
We can even say what specific tribes were to be found in particular areas.
We cannot be sure however what proportion of the people in a certain area in our
time are of Israelite descent. Even if we may be reasonably sure that a high
percentage
are probably of Israelite origin we cannot be sure. Regarding individual
families no-one knows. The Messiah will inform us.
People from groups whom we identify as Israelite may be reasonably sure that
they are of Hebrew origin and they probably are.
This however is not enough. More proof is needed.
The people in question however should realize that Divine Providence has placed
them in this situation for a reason.
Even though they cannot be certain that they are Israelites they have an
obligation to know of their probably Israelite origins and to act accordingly.
The Almighty did not want them to know for certain at this stage but HE did want
them to be aware of the strong possibility.
This means they have something to work out from where they are.
As for Jews counting Judaism through the mother. We have explained this
elsewhere. It has Biblical Sanction.
Nevertheless concerning the Ten Tribes it does not matter, at present.
Whatever the case their task on the whole must be worked out in their places of
Exile.
God bless you
Yair
(b) Further Comment by Esther: Greek
Christians Would Murder Circumcised Children!
Well Put! Most of us do say "it's not [the ALMIGHTY]s time" Perhaps there will
be a day when doors open. I have found that most of us would say we are of
Hebrew or Israelite descent, but when asked are you a JEW, feel cautious to
respond "yes", for ...that may be only the tribe of Judah. Also all of our
families view [the Christian Messiah] as Messiah and many have said if you
believe like that you are no longer JEWISH. We feel if we are HEBREW, we are
HEBREW. One thing I have noticed, is "follow the circumcision trail". Most of
the Hebrew people were reanmed Gentiles, but are militant about circumcising,
because that's what's always been done in their families for thousands of
generations. Gentiles (Japeth's lineage) don't circumcise. Here in the states,
that's a big deal. If you are white and uncircumcised, it is considered somewhat
unusual. The Universal Church was determined to change their identity. If they
could force the people to abandon all Hebrew practices, they would be more loyal
to the new religion. I read that in some Greek villages if a child was found
circumcised both he and his mother were killed, because this was carrying on the
Hebrew tradition. Thanks Again for all your hard work and research. Many of the
people in our fellowships have enjoyed your teachings!
8. Pam McCall: Judah to Arrive first!
Pam wrote: "From what I read in Scriptures, Messiah will hiss/whistle for
Israel, and they will be taken up, then over to Israel. I believe many are
"jumping the gun" on this matter. Messiah has His time. Scripture tells us the
house of Judah will arrive first, and they have and are."
Brit-Am Reply:
Very Good Point!
It is also worth looking at this verse and the other verses around it.
It is definitely speaking of Ephraim. It mentions an initial settlement in
Gilead (Syria) and Lebanon.
Zechariah 10:
7 Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man,
And their heart shall rejoice as if with wine.
Yes, their children shall see it and be glad;
Their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
8 I will whistle for them and gather them,
For I will redeem them;
And they shall increase as they once increased.
9 I will sow them among the peoples,
And they shall remember Me in far countries;
They shall live, together with their children,
And they shall return.
10 I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt,
And gather them from Assyria.
I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon,
Until no more room is found for them.
9. Enough Lack of Response to Brit-Am.
Two days ago we sent out a
Request for your financial support from Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations.
So far we have not seen any response whatsoever.
There may be something on the way but we have not yet seen it.
We are in need of funds.
If we were not in need we would not send out the request.
By the nature of what we are and do we will always be in need of funds.
Nevertheless when funds come in or are promised to do so we do not usually send
out requests.
At least not at present.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations has information and is in the process of acquiring more
concerning the identification of western peoples with Hebrew Nations.
We also have experience and the means to access, research, process, knowledge on
this matter and to publicize the findings.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations serves as a meeting point for those who are aware or
become aware of ancestral truths.
Those who come to us have a unique choseness of their own.
We wish to serve you and all the nations of Israel.
Divine Providence has not given us any independent source of funding.
In a sense we are both your Guide and your Employee.
Divine Providence seems to have conditioned our ability to do anything on what
you, our subscribers, choose to give us.
Even small amounts can help though obviously the more, the better.
Those who can should give something.
Whosoever gives to Brit-Am will be blessed from ABOVE.
Make an Offering to Brit-Am.
