1. The Brit-Am Hebrew-language work "Achim
Acharim"
The Brit-Am Hebrew-language work is called "Achim Acharim". This means
"The Other Brothers", which is a good title
and has a nice ring in Hebrew imparting several different but not contradictory
nuances.
"Achim Acharim" is distributed in Israel at cost price or for free.
We have not advertised it at all (apart from on our web-site) so not that many
people know about it.
Even so, quite a few copies have been distributed and reactions on the whole
have been favorable.
Recently the father of a friend of ours read it and sent us back word that they
were very pleased with it
and "enjoyed" it very much. Whether they were convinced or not they did not say
but having "enjoyed"
it may well be a beginning.
Expressions such as "nice work", "pleasant reading", and "enjoyable" are
frequently received about this
book. We may not be convincing but at least people seem to like what they read!
A new version of this work is in preparation and will be posted up on a Hebrw-language
section of our
site also in preparation.
2. A Description of "Achim
Acharim"
as Translated from the back cover of the work.
"Achim Acharim ["The Other Brothers"]. The Ten Tribes in the West" by
Yair Davidiy
describes how ten (out of the original twelve) tribes of Israel in Ancient Times
were exiled by the Assyrians
and disappeared. They lost their identity and were transformed into "Gentiles
for all intents and purposes"
(Yebamot 17). Nevertheless, it is possible to trace after them and to discern
their routes of migration.
Most of them by different and varied ways reached Western Europe. From there
their descendants were to settle
in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The sources for our
research are Scripture
and the Commentators, the Talmudic Sages, Archaeology, Ancient Writings, General
History,
Mythology, Linguistics, National and Cultural Characteristics, as well as almost
every field that may have
some relevance to the matter.
According to the Bible and the Sages the Ten Tribes are destined to return and
to once again unite with the
Jews in the Land of Israel. Before that however they have their own task to
fulfill in this world.
There exist a few nations that may be potential allies to the State of Israel.
All of these countries are
derived from the Ten Tribes but they are not aware of it. They are to be found
amongst nations
that are the strongest and the best in existence. According to the Prophet
Jeremiah (3:18) the Jews
are destined to go unto the Ten Tribes, to inform them of the common ancestry
that we have with them
and to offer them partnership of destiny with us.
This is our duty and mission of purpose and theirs as well.
3. "Returning to Israel" and Damage to
Brit-Am
Recently Brit-Am emphasized its position concerning Ephraimites returning
to Israel
at the present time.
We said that we have nothing against Ephraimites who are here or Ephraimites who
despite everything come here.
They should however realize that at present they need either to identify with
Judah or to consider themselves
guests of Judah.
We are against the idea that Ephraimites should wish to come here at present by
virtue of their being
"Ephraimites".
They have their own duty and purpose to fulfill that needs at present to be
carried out primarily in their own lands.
In the future they will return and receive their own Tribal inheritances
alongside Judah.
For now, Judah is preparing the way and needs the help of Joseph from outside.
Before the Ten Tribes (Joseph) return they may also establish colonies in
Israelite Lands of the Periphery meaning Lebanon, Jordan,
Cyprus, Syria, etc. This is what has been prophesied.
Brit-Am could have kept quiet about the whole matter of Ephraimites "Returning".
Nothing would have happened and we may not have lost the support that we may
have lost because of it.
Nowadays if someone from overseas wishes to come to Israel they usually need a
visa
and if they wish to work in Israel they must obtain a permit.
Experience shows that even if Brit-Am wanted to have exceptions made in this
matter
we cannot do very much about it. Nor do we believe can anybody else. On the
contrary, if anything
recent attempts by others in the name of "Ephraim" are liable to have caused
damage.
The Brit-Am approach is the correct one and is Biblically sound.
Because we made our position clear on this matter, thrashed it out with numerous
correspondents, etc
and thoroughly clarified the issue some individuals who previously supported us
are no longer doing so.
We saw this eventuality from the beginning but still went ahead and made our
position clear.
Those who value Brit-Am are asked to continue to support us, to send us
offerings, and do
what they can to strengthen Brit-Am.
Brit-Am is a good thing and needs your help and that of others to function and
grow.

Brit-Am is the "still small voice" that contains the truth.
[1-Kings 19:12] AND AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE A FIRE; BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE
FIRE: AND AFTER THE FIRE A STILL SMALL VOICE.
