A small group of Ultra-Religious Jews are opposed to Zionism and the State of Israel. They base their case on an obscure Talmudic comment on a Biblical verse. These are known as the Three Oaths that some interpret as forbidding Jewish en masse immigration and occupation of the Land of Israel until the Messiah comes.
Alexander Zephyr examines the sources, discusses the pros and cons of different opinions and commentaries in the light of historical fact. He comes to the conclusion that if the Three oaths are at all applicable then they apply to "Ephraimite Israel" meaning the Lost Ten Tribes and not to the Jews (Judah).
Brit-Am does not agree with Alexander Zephyr on this matter but we think his article nevertheless makes a valuable contribution to these studies. Information of interest and importance is given and discussed and the conclusion is worth noting.
The Three Oaths might be a future guide for Joseph (Israel), when they will awaken to their Israelite identity (with the help of Judah, Jeremiah 3:18) and turn to God with repentance and prayers; and God will hear them, and will sent the Messiah, son of Joseph, who will successfully fight God's wars, rebuild the Temple and bring the Tribes of Israel to the Promised Land for reunification with Judah and final Redemption with the advent of Messiah, son of David. (There are Talmudic opinions that the interval between the two Messiahs will be 40 years).
