1. Making Contact
I sent out the "Making Contact" mailing
because (due to all these virus
scares and similar events) I suddenly
got a bit paranoid as to whether or
not our postings were still reaching
people. I also did feel the need to
make contact with the people on our
list and renew
direct acquaintance. Thank you all
very much for your response and letters
of encouragement. Please keep sending
me
your input and comments. In many ways
this is a shared enterprise and we
endeavor both to serve and represent
you.
2. e-mail address forgery
From: Aram Paquin
Subject: Re: Brit-Am Virus Free
Yair, I can verify your statement about
e-mail address forgery. 2 weeks
ago, at our shop, we received an e-mail
which appeared to have been sent by
US. It contained no text and had an
attachment; an obvious virus carrier.
We NEVER open attachments unless we
can be sure of its origin.

3. Other People have the same problem
The following note was sent out by
an anti-semitic left-wing list (in
Israel) to people on its list. it shows
that they are having the
same problems as we did, and they are
not the only ones. The phenomenon
appears to reach all over.
I subscribe to the list below (in the
same way as I subscribe to several
others)
for the sake of information. In this
case, once in a blue moon, I sometimes
find it worth seeing what the opposition
think.

This is to tell you: DON'T open attachments
which seem to be coming from us.
There are some forces who like to send
viruses as if they were sent by a
Gush Shalom
member. All kind of strange names followed
by @gush-shalom.org.or by
@mailman.gush-shalom - when there is
an attachment you can be sure it's not
from
us.
We hardly ever send attachments to
a list, but will for the time being
avoid it altogether.
We update out antivirus program daily,
and our computer is certified
viryusfree.
Let's hope that in this way we re stronger
than the forces who want to harm
us.

4. Sharon Lindstrom: "Making Contact?"
Subject: Hi
Hi Yair,
Did you send an email that stated "Making
Contact?" That's all it said and
I wasn't sure how to respond. I've
been getting tons and tons of weird
emails lately from a variety of people
-- some of them appear to be from
friends but the emails seem out of
character for them. I'm just checking to
be sure the Making Contact email came
from you.
I hope you are doing well. I've been
enjoying your emails greatly. I
haven't responded much lately but I
love the way they're set up as News and
Brit-Am Now and the Tanakh studies.
Lately, I've been trying to spread
the word and the warnings about the
truth behind the Israel/Palestinian
war. I post a lot of info on
christianbbs.com. I get some flack
for it from some people, but they
usually don't have any intelligent
or informed rebuttals. Most people are
very pro-Israel but know only what
is being given to them by mainstream
media. I post some of your News excerpts
and HonestReporting and individual
stories from various Jerusalem news
sites, etc. Many have expressed
appreciation for the information and
a desire to read more news from
Jerusalem and/or articles from the
Jewish standpoint. I've given people
many many links.
I've also found quite a few mainstream
christians very keen on knowing more
about their Hebrew roots and have had
an opportunity to share a bit on the
connection between Judah and European/Americans
(catholics are the most
closed to the idea, but the charismatic/protestant/born-again
people are
curious and open). It's been fun.
Take care and stay safe.... God bless...
Sharon
5. Sundry Replies to "Making Contact".
Brother Yair,
Contact made and appreciated. Keep
up the excellent encouragement.
Shalom,
Joseph
Hello, Yair,
Yes, I'm still here.
Thanks very much for all your communications.
But, most of all, for
your single-minded focus on disseminating
the facts about modern Israel,
and where the Northern House's descendants
are today. Knowing this has
kept me stable and focused; else I
don't know where I'd be as far as the
path of my life is concerned.
Best regards,
O

"Our" Yair!
Toda - for the help in understanding
how AM ISRAEL really is (!!) - and the
encouragement you are to this family
to stay with "our noses in" the Bible.
Having just finished reading "Joseph",
and begun "Ephraim", we are finding
more folks who want to borrow our copies.
When they can't wait they're
refered to your website.
We were able to spend a couple days
with Ephraim and Rimona Frank late in
August and they speak of you with much
respect. Indeed, for your obviously
passionate heart, you have ours as
well!
Shalom,
Dan and Priscilla Reid
Hi Yair,
We are all fine here in Port Elizabeth
[South Africa] and appreciate your
regular material.
Thanks a lot for the effort you are
putting into doing this very important
job.

6. Question from "Rusty": What is "genetic drift"?
"Genetic drift", as I understand it,
are the genetic changes that
independently occur in a population
that was originally part of a larger
group but became separated. Such
changes are not connected with mixing
with other groups yet differentiate
the "offspring" from the "parent" body.
7. Funds
Brit-Am is in need of funds.
Please assist,
God bless you all,
Yair
