Preliminary Remark Concerning this Study in General
The Names of the Tribes listed above are links to short articles concerning the Tribal Characteristics of each Tribe. These notes are based on Biblical Passages, Commentaries, Rabbinical observations, various traditions, legends, historical researches, and our own inferred impressions.

These are the Tribes of Israel.
We are here describing Tribal Characteristics. You will recognize some of the Types described in your own family, friends, and neighbors. Each one of us has aspects of all the peoples of the world. All the seventy sons of Noah have left their imprint within us. Beyond that we are also Israelites. Every indiviual contains within themselves aspects of all the Twelve Tribes. There are also phases. At such-an-such an age we went though the state of a particular tribe. Now we may be in the mode of a different Tribe. Tribal Association is determined by the Father.
Somewhere there is the real "us" that belongs to one specific Tribe and examining Tribal Inheritances may help us find the key to it.

In addition to the Tribe there were also Tribal Clans and each clan had it own uniqueness. An analysis of the different clans etc is beyond the scope of the present study. Our aim at present is merely to present a brief outline and framework for further inquiry.

The points made are open for discussion. If you think we have been unfair, inaccurate, or mistaken, or have something of your own to add please do so.
You may e-mail us with any relevant point(s) you think should be considered.
Many (but not all) of the points made are discussed more comprehensively in our work "The Tribes" and in our other writings.
