1. Article Upgraded and Expanded.
King David and the Oral Law
http://www.britam.org/DavidandOralLaw.html
We wrote this article some time ago. We have now split it into two sections.
One section will comprise a short article on the Karaites.
This is still in preparation.
The other section bears the original title,
King David and the Oral Law
We have upgraded this article and added quite a bit to it.
Contents:
THE PREJUDICE AGAINST KING DAVID.
RUTH the MOABITESS, ANCESTRESS OF KING DAVID.
Reply to Claims that Ruth was not a Native-born Physical Daughter of Moab.
Extracts:
...the Midrash tells us:
'Against three things were the Children of Israel destined to show contempt:
Against the Rule of Heaven, against the Kingdom of David, and against the Holy Temple.
Ruth was a Moabitess and David was her descendant. David was able to be accepted into the community of Israel thanks to the Oral Tradition and the judgment of the Sages. Whoever denies the Sages denies the Bible and rejects David.
If marriage with a Moabitess really was forbidden then Boaz would not have married Ruth.
Apparently it was not forbidden which explains everything.
Ruth was of foreign non-Israelite Moabite birth. She became an Israelitess of her own free will.
Ruth was the mother of the grandfather of King David.
The future Messiah will be one of her descendants!
2. Tudor Rose Pin (similar to Brit-Am Symbol) on E-Bay.
The Brit-Am Symbol is based on the Tudor Rose.
See:

This symbol is attractive and has much significance.
[Actually Brit-Am has done much of value and has a lot going for it.
Maybe we should try and push ourselves a little more?]
Anyway our attention was brought to the following item on e-bay and we thought it might be of interest.

3. Answer to Question about the Book of Jasher
Lorraine Harvey wrote:
Dear Yair,
Can you tell me anything about the Scroll of Jasher? Is it genuine and why then is it not included in the Bible & Tanuch. It is referred to in Joshua 10:13 and 2nd Samuel 1:18. The information regarding Abraham amongst other things is interesting, so is this a credible source? I would like to read it all, however do not want to read something that is not authentic or a true account. How does the Jewish community view and/or use this book/scroll?
I realise this is not your purpose to answer such questions, however I do not know who to ask and I would rather have a Jewish opinion before asking for a Christian opinion. If it is not authentic, then I will not bother to read it.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,

In short the so-called "Book of Jasher" is a Medieval work of fiction written in Italy.
It is based on Jewish and non-Jewish legends. I myself have only glanced at this work so cannot say much about it.
Its use of Hebrew has literary value.
The sources used by the book may provide insights and useful information.
In other words read the book if you are interested in doing so. It may help and at least should not harm.
You do not have to take everything it says as the literal truth but rather as interesting possibilities that in some cases may be worth looking into.
God bless you
Yair
